"I have a full time job
and a family - not to mention a life to live. I feel
like I don't have any time to exercise. Gyms can be
expensive and intimidating and are hard to work into
my schedule. How can I build exercise into my life without
interrupting it too much?"
Ben found it easy to "put off" exercise.
His doctor told him that exercise will help lower his
blood pressure but he couldn't find the time. Virtual
Health Coach helped Ben understand his barriers
to exercising and how to get around them.
Because he learns best by reading, he bought a book
on exercise for busy people. He decided that walking
on his lunch hour at work was something he could do.
After all, it only took him 15 minutes to eat. The rest
of the hour was usually spent talking around the lunch
table with his co-workers who he sees all day anyway.
His workplace is big with sprawling buildings and long
halls. A comfortable pair of walking shoes was all he
needed and he had an old pair at home. 
Ben kept track of the days he walked in his daily planner.
After walking everyday for 2 weeks, he rewarded himself
with a new pair of walking shoes. Soon, a co-worker
from another area joined him on his daily walk. On nice
days they walk outside. Ben looks forward to their walk-talk
everyday. They share many of the same interests.
Six months later, Ben's blood pressure is lower. Furthermore,
he lost 5 pounds, he's more productive at work and he's
sleeping better at night - all without disrupting his
family life at home. Coach Kerrbie helped Ben think
through his barriers to exercise, gave him the confidence
to try, the motivation to keep going, and the tools
to succeed. Start the Virtual Health Coach program
