Pre-contemplation Correct Ans-This is the first stage of development and at this stage you
have not even discovered that there is anything that you need to change in your life. Or, you are
in denial that there is anything that needs to change. You feel comfortable with your current
state of being.
Contemplation Correct Ans-This stage is where the idea for change begins to take shape in
the psyche. There is an awareness as you begin to contemplate areas in life that cause
dissatisfaction. For example, you spend time thinking about the excess weight that you are
carrying, the muscle tone/definition your lacking or wanting, health problems that are
impacting you, an inability to play with your children because you are too tired to finish the
game, or other types of conflicting areas in life are at the forefront of your thoughts. Thoughts
such as, "maybe it's time for a change" become more frequent.
Preparation Correct Ans-In this stage you begin to prepare yourself for some major changes.
Most people like to have help during this stage. They may sign up for a class, a gym or a club
and begin to read about the health benefits associated with weight training or exercise.
Although action has not yet occurred, steps are being taken and you are preparing for action.
Action Correct Ans-This stage is the beginning of your training. You start to work out at the
gym, hire a trainer, begin to lift weights, create fitness goals and get moving on the
commitments that you made during the preparation phase. This stage can be easy for some and
difficult for others.
Maintenance Correct Ans-This is probably the most important and most crucial stage for all
people. Many people have a difficult time starting a program and sticking to it. If you are in this
stage, you have successfully committed to at least a year of constant progression. You have to
push through all of the obstacles that get in the way, especially when you reach your goals.
Don't give up here!

Body Fat (BF) Testing Correct Ans-takes practice. Remember to take all measurements on the
same side of the body, and make sure that the participant is not flexing the targeted muscle

pinching the thigh. This technique is correct and should be practiced until the student trainer
feels confident and can take the measurements at the same targeted sites in consecutive
attempts.
