Researchers show that daily reinforcement
helps adults stick to their exercise goals

WEDNESDAY, Aug. 10 (HealthDay News)
.
Using personal digital assistants (PDAs) to give
daily feedback to adults about their fitness
progress helps them stick with an exercise program,
a new study says.
.
University of Pittsburgh researchers followed
189 overweight adults for six months.
The participants were assigned to one of three
self-monitoring programs Ñ paper records only,
PDA without daily feedback messages, or PDA
with daily feedback messages.
.
An example of a message for participants who met
their exercise goals for the day: Super job on the
physical activity. Try to repeat this tomorrow.
.
For those who didnÕt achieve their daily goal,
the message might have said: Don't get disheartened;
you still have time to meet your physical activity
goals.
.
Hint:
.
Take a walk; it will pay off!
