The purpose of this study is to gain a greater understanding of the experiences of women classified as late-in-stage maintainers and transformers for exercise (Cardinal & Levy, 2000). The participants in this study were women 40 years of age or older who were enrolled in a general fitness class at a community college or a chair exercise class for people 50 years of age and older. Ten women were interviewed individually in an attempt to discover how rearing or past experiences with exercise related to stage classification. The concepts that were examined through the interview process included family values and perceptions of exercise, periods of inactivity and the reasons for them, and the role of intrinsic motivation, enjoyment, and ritual in exercise adherence. The analysis did not fully support Cardinal's (1999) Stage of Physical Activity Algorithm. Next, the analysis revealed that childhood experiences, including family-sponsored physical activity and the use of physical activity as a coping mechanism, set a standard for lifetime physical activity. In addition, adaptability in the face of changing circumstances, the process known as "environmental control" (Prochaska et al., 1994), and ritual or routinized behavior played prominent roles in these women's continued engagement in physical activities. Further, although the process known as "helping relationships" was shown in previous studies to be under-utilized by maintainers (Courneya & Bobick, 2000; Fahrenwald & Walker, 2003), the results provide evidence that successful exercisers do use the "helping relationships" process.Subjects--Topical Terms:
