With reference to the current recommendations for physical activity for health (at least 30 minutes moderate activity, like walking, accumulated on most days of the week in bouts of at least 10 minutes) or for fitness (at least 3 sessions per week of moderate to vigorous activity lasting at least 20 minutes), read through the following categories.
Then decide which category best describes how physically active you have been over the last six months:
I am not physically active and do not intend to be so in the next six months
=> PRECONTEMPLATION
I am not regularly active but am thinking about starting to be so in the next six months
=> CONTEMPLATION
I do some physical activity but not enough to meet the description of regular activity
=> PREPARATION
I am regularly physically active but only began in the last six months
=> ACTION
I am regularly physically active and have been for longer than 6 months
