• An exciting new project Michelle is working on that converts ideas from her book into a social media campaign
• She tells us about a new quiz she has developed to help people understand their own motivation profile
• We discuss the future of activity trackers and what they will include in years to come
• Plus Michelle leaves us with three great tips to action straight after this weeks show!

Top Tips From The Show

The hook to getting people to move more, sleep better and change their diet, is to help them become aware of how they feel in the moment.

When it comes to activity trackers we should be designing algorithms based on the core science of motivation and decision making – rather than just numbers and the future will do this. We will see activity trackers progress from ticks & numbers to feelings and enjoyment.

It is up to the fitness and health industry to help people understand that when they take better care of themselves through physical activity, they will start learning the benefits of, and developing the skill set for prioritising self care behaviour.
