We are going to start with a baseline. In order to set goals
and track progress, we need to know our current walking
activity. For the baseline, record your steps for three days,
(alternatively, you may decide to use a 5- or 7-day baseline)
including one weekend day and two week days. It is
important that you try to NOT increase your steps or activities
during these days so they reflect your current level of activity.
The process of recording steps is an important skill for making
health improvements. On this log sheet, record your baseline
then set weekly goals. Track your progress! Remember –
steps fluctuate day-to-day and week-to-week. Don’t be
discouraged; just keep walking and recording steps.
The reporting process for our program includes . . .
(share your procedures).
As an added motivation, I will provide immediate feedback
from your log sheets and you will be eligible for our drawings
(explain incentives if appropriate).
We recommend conducting this presentation with the Goal Setting program.
