Personal fitness training is just that – personal. So how do you combine a health professional’s expertise with a your own goals to create a successful program?
The American Council on Exercise (ACE) set out to employ self-efficacy to increase your confidence in achieving personal goals. At the end, they discovered the ACE Mover Method led to the most success – starting with the basics of the alphabet:
- Ask open-ended questions
By creating open dialogue between yourself and a health professional, both of you can put a label on what you’re working to accomplish in the realm of fitness. - Break down barriers
Obstacles are a natural part of working to achieve goals. But by calling them out and creating strategies to work around them, these obstacles can become stepping stones to success. - Collaborate
The health professional has information about how to enact behavior change, and you can have proven methods of what works for you. Combining these will set a roadmap to personal success.
ACE has already seen success in folks of all backgrounds – from the active couch potato to the person who isn’t a fan of being judged. Why? Because by combining your lifestyle and self knowledge with the health professional’s expert tactics they employ, behavior change is a guaranteed outcome.
