Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mackenzie has set a specific goal of exercising three times a week and has identified when she will start (when her gym membership begins in two weeks). This demonstrates that she is in the preparation stage of change, where she is getting ready to take action towards a healthier lifestyle. The other stages of change in the Transtheoretical Model include precontemplation (not yet considering the need for change), contemplation (thinking about making a change), and action (actively making changes).
