Exercise Change
A must read! It just might change your life…
A 27 year old mother of two young children looks at herself in the mirror and smiles. Over the past year she has dramatically transformed her physical appearance after having tried and failed multiple times in the past. She isn’t worried about going back to how she used to look because this time it’s different. She has experienced a fundamental shift in the way she thinks about and reacts to change.
A recently married 30 year old retail manager feels that he is finally achieving the physique he’s always wanted. More importantly he is doing it in a way that fits with his lifestyle and for the first time in a long time he can see light at the end of the tunnel.
What do these people have in common? They succeeded in motivating themselves to exercise the ‘right way’ by learning how to effectively build, strengthen and maintain their motivation to exercise.
They succeeded by ‘exercising change’.
In Exercise Change – Build, Strengthen and Maintain Motivation to Exercise, change expert Matt Williams takes us on an introspective journey that compels us to challenge our thinking and behaviour around making exercise related changes. With an ability to translate complex psychological theories into practical and insightful narratives, Williams brings to life a whole new understanding of exercise motivation through the introduction of a new model of change, the Exercise Motivation Change Cycle or EMCC.
Along the way we learn why some people struggle to make exercise related changes, despite years of trying, while others seem to have a remarkable ability to start and stick with an exercise programme on their first attempt. We delve into the minds of behaviour change experts as well as everyday people who have accomplished extraordinary things to explore exactly how to make and maintain exercise related changes.
We discover how the right habits and mind-set were crucial to the success of nine time Coast to Coast winner Steve Gurney, Junior Mr Universe Kagan Orton and NZ cricketer Andrew Ellis. We go inside the minds of medical professionals, coaches, and martial artists and see how a well-rounded understanding of motivation and change can mean the difference between wanting to do something and actually doing it.
At its core, Exercise Change contains a refreshingly simple and empowering message: The key to exercising regularly, getting fit, losing weight, and improving health is understanding change.
Change doesn't have to intimidating. As Matt Williams shows, by harnessing much of what you probably already know and are capable of doing, we can transform our bodies, our minds, and our lives.

Motivation is the most important part of exercise, because we are all salves of our habits. We all want to change, and set ambitous plans at the beginning of each year, but we rarely get what we really want.
Mat’s book succeeded in explaining what we need to succeed in exercising and keeping fit. After reading this book, I realised it is not about losing the weight I want. It is the motivation to get healthy and stay healthy. I normally stick to a diet or an exercise regime for a month at the most, but this book has made me realise it's about changing the way you think about your lifestyle. After reading this book, I'm confident I will lose the weight I want, because I now realise being healthy is something you do every day.
This book shows us clearly how our mind works and this is absolutely important to know. Book explains stages that we need to overcome in our journey., and it also gives us simple yet powerful tools to win our battle. One of my favorite part is “How to form a new habit in 20 seconds”.
It is certainly a must for all those who want to lose weight.

I found this book was exactly what I needed to get me motivated to get back into my training. I think the EMCC diagram explains exactly what happens to me when I start an exercise program and then end up giving up. This diagram may help me think twice before giving up again. I need to train my mind into not giving up and to keep going forward and not backwards and if I do go back , I need to make sure I only go 1 space back and then go forward again. When you feel like giving up , I suggest look at the diagram - you don't want to end up at the beginning again.
