"MOTIVATE ME"

‘Motivate Me' is a one day course for teachers, instructors and leaders of exercise classes and groups who work with older people. It has been designed for professionals who have qualified either as CBE Leaders, OEP Leaders or Fitness/Exercise Instructors. It is also appropriate for Senior Peer Activity Motivators and other health or social care professionals who wish to know more about motivating older adults to engage in physical activity.

 

The evidence for promoting physical activity among older people of all ages is overwhelming. However, people over the age of 50 represent the most sedentary segment of the adult population and participation continues to decline with increasing age. A number of agencies now provide exercise courses for those who work with older people but few of these courses include training in understanding motivation and adherence. This course is designed to provide physical activity and exercise leaders, teachers and instructors with both theoretical perspectives and practical applications on motivating older people to start and maintain regular physical activity.

This training has been endorsed by REPS and Skills Active and receives 4 CPD points as there is no assessment.

 

Course Aims:

  • To understand why some older people are, and others are not, motivated to be active and how we can help people make a change.
  • To consider practical strategies and approaches that might make a difference.
