CHPT 4 - Behavioral Coaching Flashcards
Self-efficacy

Active listening
having a genuine interest in understanding the client’s health and fitness goals. It involves asking appropriate questions, avoiding distractions and inner dialogue, and providing appropriate feedback.
What two things can impact a person’s readiness to perform resistance training.
Affective judgments and subjective norms
What are the 4 stages of change?
precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and
maintenance.
Precontemplation
: Client does not exercise and is not planning to start exercising within 6 months.
Contemplation
When a person is thinking about implementing
change but has not yet taken any steps to get started; an individual may take action within the next 6 months.
Preparation
The client intends to act in the near future, usually
within the next month.
Action
The client has made specific modifications in their exercise routine within the past 6 months.
Maintenance
: The client has been exercising for more than 6 months and is working to prevent relapse.
Self-monitoring
Observing, measuring, and evaluating one’s own behavior, often in the form of a diary or log.
Examples of closed-ended questions
Are you motivated to exercise? Can you commit to exercising three days per week? Do you enjoy exercise?
Examples of open-ended questions
How might you go about making this change? What challenges do you see, and how can you plan to overcome them? What work are you prepared to do to reach your goal? What have you tried in the past to reach your fitness goal?
Examples of SMART
goals
I will gain 5 pounds (2.27 kg) of muscle within 5 months, starting today, by weightlifting a minimum of 4 days per week for 1 hour each session.
I will reduce my blood pressure by five points within 6 months by walking a minimum of 30 minutes each day and reducing my daily
salt intake to no more than 2,300 milligrams per day.
I will lose 10 pounds (4.53 kg) of body fat within 3 months by
reducing my daily calories from 3,000 to 2,000 per day and
exercising at a moderate intensity at a minimum of 150 minutes per
week
Examples that are not SMART Goals
I will lose weight so I can become the best version of myself.
This goal is not specific or measurable— how much weight? This goal does not have a timeframe— how long is this goal?

Specific
The intended goal outcome must be clearly defined.
Measurable
