A recent article in the Wall Street Journal reported what we at the LEI already knew: an occasional gentle nudge can get people to more regularly exercise and make other lasting lifestyle changes. The study, conducted by Stanford University, is part of a growing body of research showing that small amounts of support, ranging from friends who encourage each other by e-mail to occasional meetings with a fitness counselor, can combat a national problem--physical inactivity. Less than half of Americans meet the recommendation for exercising half an hour most days of the week. What you may not know is that nearly all sedentary people at one time or another have started, but then dropped out of, exercise programs.
