Abstract
There is an increasing body of evidence which suggests that inactivity is a serious risk to health. However there has been limited evaluation carried out in the UK on strategies used to increase physical activity. Exercise consultation is a relatively new form of intervention which uses one-to-one motivational interviewing techniques to promote physical activity. This paper examines the separate components of an exercise consultation, comparing it to other interventions. The effects of an exercise consultation in a community setting are evaluated, looking at the processes involved in setting up the project and the outcomes in terms of increasing individuals' participation in physical activity, weight loss, and wellbeing. From the impact the project has had on the community it is concluded that exercise consultation has potential as an alternative intervention for promoting physical activity.
