“David Smith is 30 years old and works a 40-hour week in an office administration role. He has not undertaken any exercise for at least five years. He takes the train to work each day, a journey that last approximately 15 minutes. While on holiday recently, he noticed he had gained weight (10 kg in the last two years). His best friend has suggested that he starts playing football with him and his friends again, but David is worried he will not be able to play like he once could and will suffer on account of his increased weight and obvious lack of fitness. David has decided to join a local gym and undergo a full fitness assessment, so that in the weeks ahead, he may be able to start playing five-a-side football again. He has completed a PAR-Q form and indicated that he has no medical conditions and is fi t to take part in physical activity. Consequently, David has been given a 6-week training programme to follow”.

Example: David is 30 years old and his BMI suggests he is overweight and needs to lose between 8 and 10 kg. His blood pressure is too high and he should drink less alcohol. He has an office job and does not get any exercise during the day or at home. Says he wants to play football again but afraid he will make a fool of himself because he is too fat and not fi t enough. Wants to change his lifestyle.
