Exercise Rx
What is Exercise Rx?
There is no generic exercise prescription that works for everyone, because each individual has different goals and issues affecting exercise habits. Our goal is to specifically design a program for you, individualized to your goals and life based on current science and research. Exercise Rx is a single 60-minute one-on-one consultation with a trained fitness professional.
Exercise Rx is unique to any other exercise prescription offered, because at The University of Texas we base our prescription on current research and focus on the following areas:
- Education: We desire to teach you what you need to know about how to accomplish your specific goals within the happenings of your own life. We utilize both informational and hands-on teaching to provide you with the knowledge you need to make life-long changes.
- Proper Exercise Prescription: Each prescription is designed specifically for you and your goals. No matter your goals or where you exercise, we can design a program that is right for you.
- Behavioral Analysis: Once we prepare a specific program and prescription for you and your life, you then have to do it consistently to see the results you desire. Being consistent with your exercise can be difficult with the obstacles you face in your everyday life. Scientific research has shown us tools that can help you overcome your specific barriers to consistent exercise.
Who is Exercise Rx for?
Individuals of any age, size, or fitness level will benefit from Exercise Rx. The expertise from the University of Texas at Austin Department of Kinesiology and Health Education provides customized solutions and services. Our FIT coaches are trained to manage common exercise goals such as weight loss, muscle building and performance, as well as more complex needs such as reducing cholesterol, blood pressure, and diabetes management.
How will Exercise Rx benefit me?
Most programs fail to accommodate the obstacles you face in the everyday regulation of your exercise behaviors, as well as providing you with the tools to prevent drop-out from your exercise program. For exercise to become a life-long behavior, your ability to handle these obstacles to staying motivated is crucial. Through the Education and Behavioral components of Exercise Rx, you will be provided the tools to monitor your pursuit of your goals. In addition, other programs prescribe generic exercise prescriptions for everyone. Because we know that your goals and situation are specific to you, and our prescriptions are designed with such specificity in mind.
