Would you like to be more confident to exercise?

Meet our Wellness Coach, Sheela, as she gives an introduction into how we can help you find the confidence to start exercising.

At LiveWell Dorset, we often meet people who are keen to increase their levels of activity but who don't feel confident to do so.. Being self-conscious shouldn’t hold you back from achieving your goals, Sheela offers four tips on how you can get started:

  1. Do Your Research – Think about activities you have enjoyed in the past, or activities you think would be enjoyable and do some research online on the best way to get started.
  2. Enlist A Friend – You might find that you feel more confident exercising with a friend, so buddy up with a pal, colleague or family member and achieve your fitness goals together.
  3. Track Your Progress – By tracking your progress you will gain more confidence as you see your fitness levels improve; so, time your run or increase your levels of activity gradually.
  4. Look The Part – If you feel a bit self-conscious when exercising, then you could treat yourself to some new work out clothing, because if you look the part, you’ll feel the part! 

Our Wellness Coaches can teach you how to build self confidence and overcome your fears as you start your journey to a better you.

How does this work?

The tailored approach LiveWell Dorset uses to come up with solutions to the things that are stopping us achieving our goals, is based upon work done by University College London developing the COM-B model of behaviour change. In this model, all behaviour is influenced by understanding a person’s capability to change, their opportunity to change and their motivation to change. By understanding which of these is the biggest barrier to change, we can tailor support accordingly. This model of behaviour change is at the centre of the support we offer, online and in person.

When you register with LiveWell Dorset, we ask you some questions about you and your health (how much you smoke, how active you are, how much you drink and how much you weigh). We store that information and use it to shape our service offer to you – such as the advice we give or the extra services we connect you to. The only people who will see this information will be those involved in the delivery of the service and management of the data. If you would like to use extra services (such as slimming clubs and pharmacies) we have to share this information with them. For us to be able to put you in touch with these services, we must have your consent to share that information with the service (we’ll ask for that later, when if you sign up for extra services).

Before we can sign you up any further, we need to know:

  • You're happy for your personal information to be shared with LiveWell Dorset.
  • You understand what information may be shared and why, and that at times, our contact to you may be supported by technology partners, who have the same data protection standards and safeguards as we do
  • You acknowledge that you can withdraw your consent at any time by informing LiveWell Dorset.
  • You understand that if you do not give consent or withdraw consent then it could be difficult for us to connect you some of the services we offer.
