Listen "New Year's Resolutions with Ryan Rhodes"
Episode Synopsis
Dr. Ryan Rhodes is an exercise psychologist, a professor, and the Director of the Behavioural Medicine Lab (BMED) at the University of Victoria. His research focuses on the behaviours and psychology behind physical activity and health.
Setting goals is key to a healthy lifestyle, but what happens when we can’t make our intentions a reality? Rhodes’ research has shown that over half of those with good exercise intentions fail to follow through. He studies this gap between intention and action, and the behaviours associated with it.
Rhodes has learned that motivation, self-regulation, and planning and prioritization are key in achieving goals and creating habits.
Listen to his tricks if you want to stick to your new year’s resolutions.
