Question

Deborah recently went through menopause and is finding that maintaining her weight isn't as easy as it used to be and she would like to lose weight. Her husband is not supportive of exercise, and Deborah is not motivated without his support. What is the best exercise-self regulation strategy for helping Deborah begin a successful exercise program? a) Revisit Deborah's motivations for exercise, and encourage her to replace her weight loss goals with goals related to meeting new people, relieving stress, and feeling good. b) Deborah should be motivated through using tape measurements and scale measurements at least once a week so she can see she is on target to lose weight. c) Encourage Deborah to set a goal of losing 2 pounds a week so she has something measurable to obtain each and every week. d) Consider encouraging Deborah to have a serious conversation with her husband about how important staying active is to her and how she needs his support in order to be successful.

Answer 1

Answer:

The best exercise self regulation strategy for helping Deborah is consider encouraging Deborah to have a serious conversation with her husband about how important staying active is to her and how she needs his support in order to be successful. Letter D.

Explanation:

That is the social support strategy. Debora is not getting serious about her weight loss because she needs her husband's support. To make it happens, she really needs to have a real conversation with him about the importance of being healthy and how much she needs his entire support to achieve this goal.
