Hey! Your links throughout the book chapter are great for getting further information. I've just made some adjustments to your headings as only the first word is supposed to be capitalized. I would just suggest putting some other links for other book chapters from the previous years? Your structure makes reading the information easy to follow. Other than that, great work! --U3096825 (discuss • contribs) 12:44, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

Might be useful to include some statistics on exercise behavior in Australia, This link has a good description of the current state of physical activity in Australia http://www.health.gov.au/internet/main/publishing.nsf/content/health-pubhlth-strateg-phys-act-guidelines.

Im going to assume you have an extension or something, but a suggestion from a similar topic would be to start biologically and basic, then expand into effects of exercise has on the person mentally, then progress into practical examples. Just in case your having trouble getting your head around it :).

Hi,

I've come across this study that i think will be great for those of us doing exercise motivation. I've only read the summary but the general idea should be applicable.

Have a look.

Hi,

Just thinking you could talk about motivation that is reinforced by the absence of a negative symptoms. For instance if a person exercises to to relieve stress their motivation would be fueled by the absence of stress. I did an assignment on anxiety and exercise for a previous unit, here are some useful articles I used from that assignment.

Moshier, S., Hearon, B., Calkins, A., Szuhany, K., Utschig, A., Smits, J., & Otto, M. (2012). Clarifying the Link Between Distress Intolerance and Exercise: Elevated Anxiety Sensitivity Predicts Less Vigorous Exercise. Cognitive Therapy And Research, 37(3), 476-482. doi:10.1007/s10608-012-9489-9

hope that helps!

Suggestions
Hello! Your topic is very interesting and you write really well. I would suggest you add in a few pictures to break up the content and make it visually appealing. I think incorporating a quiz would also be a cool idea. And if you had enough words, I would highly recommend you writing a bit on the Australian's governments health initiative and the obesity crisis plaguing our nation. Information such as this would really reinforce the importance of exercise to maintain a long and healthy life. At the send in your external links section you could include government initiative plans to tackle obesity and support exercise (the two links below). http://www.healthyactive.gov.au http://health.gov.au/internet/anpha/publishing.nsf/Content/obesity-home Anyway, best of luck and I look forward to reading this chapter soon :) --U3034876 (discuss • contribs) 07:38, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi, I read through your book chapter and it is a very interesting topic. I really liked the idea of adding the quiz at the end to help people really understand some big points throughout your research. As I was reading I was wondering to myself what motivates me to work out? I work out 5-6 days out of the week with a work out buddy, and having a buddy to hold me accountable is really helpful. I wanted to look more into if I was motivated enough so I found a survey online to see. I found it interesting and thought it might give you ideas to create a survey or add points if needed. Here is the link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/?sm=x433Jb6RFLIlTKrILxWJCA%3D%3D Hope this helps.
