The purpose of this research is to explore motivations for engaging in physical activity.

Procedures
|
Participants will complete a survey, and then participate in focus groups. The survey includes similar demographic questions that were posed during the screener and a brief set of items to assess typical exercise behavior patterns of respondents and level of interest in being physically active on a regular basis.
Participants will then be asked about their values and goals, independent of and related to physical activity, in a focus group setting. The total time involved, including instructions, will be no more than 100 minutes.
