Many health care providers and organizations are now offering chronic condition exercise programs (CCEPs). And for good reason. Exercise helps people with chronic health conditions to manage these conditions and improve their quality of life.

A major issue with CCEPs, however, is that many participants stop exercising after they complete the program. This WellSpring identifies promising strategies for how to keep people exercising after they finish a CCEP.

The following topics are covered:

  • Chronic condition exercise programs (CCEPs): An overview
  • The problem: Exercise drops off after the CCEP ends
  • The search for practices to improve exercise maintenance
  • Promising practices for exercise counselling
  • Other tips for your own CCEP
