Praise for Exercise Change
“Many people talk about the importance of motivation and the need to change habits in the pursuit of optimal health and well-being yet very few offer real, simple and effective tools and advise for people to actually achieve this. This book not only offers sound and practical advice to help us achieve great things but lights the spark for motivation itself. An excellent resource and guide for anyone wanting to achieve success and for those who have stopped believing in themselves this is a must read, I believe it will change your life”
Lee-Anne Wann, Health & Fitness Specialist, Vodafone Warriors Team Nutritionist, Radio Live Health Expert, Author & Presenter
“Motivation is not about will power, it is about understanding and working with what fuels our ‘won’t’ power! In this easy to read book Matt has usefully drawn together current theories on motivation, which can help the ambivalent or repeatedly slipping reader better reach their exercise goals. For example, he allows the reader to understand how brain function is so much more than simply ‘mind over matter’, and how through working with the brain, rather than against it, desired exercise change becomes more likely. This is simply a must read for anyone who has had the best of exercise intentions, but keeps falling short of their targets.”
Anton Ashcroft, Forensic Psychologist and Chartered Consultant
“Approaches to exercise and physical change can be many and varied, some less successful than others. What this book succeeds in doing is drawing on experiences and conclusions that actually work, and have been proven to work. Sometimes it is honest, sometimes inspirational, but one thing is for sure, if you can buy into the messages this book portrays you will be successful.”
Andrew Ellis, Canterbury Wizard and New Zealand Black Cap
“Motivation is not something we have, it is something we do; it is behaviour, it is acting upon our hopes, desires and reasons for changing. In this book Matt has captured this idea superbly. It takes the reader on a journey of exploring how to get to the starting position, but more importantly how to establish the habits of change and maintain these over time. All of us know the challenges of motivation; it waxes and wanes and can be easily disturbed and interrupted. Life often gets in the way of our best intentions. Being able to recognise this process and get back up, is the test of true motivation which Matt has capture in this book. “
Ken McMaster, Principal Trainer, Hall McMaster & Associates
