Question
Bob decided that he was a bit overweight and in order to do something about it, he created a new exercise program, something he'd never tried before. Though he initially had some difficulty setting it up and sticking with it, he has consistently done his exercise workout for the last eight months Though it is becoming more habitual, the program is still not yet automatic for him and he reinforces himself with new CDs each month if he has successfully completed his workouts. According to the stages of change model, Bob would most likely be in the Multiple Choice maintenance stage termination stage preparation/determination stage contemplation stageExplanation / Answer
1.Option A) Maintenance stage
Bob has been consistent with his workout for the past eight months,this indicates that he has successfully completed the contemplation,determination and action stages of change cycle. He keeps motivating himself with new CD's so as to not relapse to his previous behaviour.Thus as of now BoB is in the Maintenance stage of Change cycle. If bob becomes sure that he will not quit exercising ,even without reinforcements,he has reached the termination stage of the cycle.
