LivingFit | Learn to Love Exercise
The physical inactivity problem
Most people are aware that physical inactivity is unhealthy and that exercise has numerous health benefits. However, exercising involves making uncomfortable and inconvenient choices, so many people develop a psychological block against exercise. 25% of US adults are not active at all, and a further 35% are not active enough to meet recommended levels.
An inactive employee costs their employer an estimated $1,967 a year in increased health costs, lost productivity and absenteeism.
Why most exercise solutions fall short
Most exercise programs fall into the same trap—they provide a blueprint for working out, but fail to address the underlying cognitive factors that cause people to avoid exercise. In other words, they are not designed to remove the deeply ingrained psychological roadblocks that prevent sedentary people from exercising regularly.
The SelfHelpWorks approach
LivingFit is a 12-week walking program that includes a cognitive behavioral training component designed to help participants ease into exercise and enjoy daily physical activity so that it becomes a regular part of life. The program is divided into three distinct four-week segments, each designed to serve a specific purpose that takes the participant to a new level of activity. LivingFit focuses on changing the way participants think about being active rather than providing a workout regimen, and the result is genuine, lasting behavior change and a higher quality of life.
In a comparison of annual Health Risk Assessments (HRA’s) conducted by a large national wellness vendor, 77% of LivingFit participants who were not meeting the minimum recommended physical activity requirements before the program, reported increased activity levels on their next annual HRA.
LivingFit is accessible conveniently and privately 24/7 via PC, tablet or smartphone. No special equipment is needed—just appropriate clothing and comfortable walking shoes.
