12 pages in length. Motivation is one of the most critical components to maintaining exercise commitment. While that is not a disputable fact, the manner by which people achieve satisfactory motivation in order to maintain exercise commitment, however, is where many fail to uphold that resolution. Looking at the synergistic relationship between goal setting and exercise commitment leads one to realize how focusing upon a certain finite objective – reaching a goal weight, dropping a certain number of dress sizes, impressing a new love interest – becomes all-important to the final result. The predicted outcome will show how people who have a specific goal in mind – short- or long-term –when taking on an exercise program maintain much more commitment than their counterparts who have no specific direction in their fitness program.
