Tammy hasn't exercised regularly for the past couple of years, but during the last week of October she purchases running shoes, shorts and tank tops to run in and she coordinates her schedule with her sister's schedule so that they can run together. She hopes to run regularly with her sister in a couple of months. In fact, starting in January they hope to start because they both have 2 weeks off from work at the beginning of the new year.

d.preparation

The correct answer is d.

Explanation:

In 1984, Prochaska and DiClemente hypothesized that behavioral changes follow a series of more or less standardized stages. The Transtheoretical Model is based on the basic premise that behavioral change is a process and people have different levels of motivation and intention to change. Preparation is the stage in which people are motivated towards change in the near future, that is, the person has already made the decision to do something about it and begins to take some small steps. People in preparation, in general, already have concrete experiences in relation to change, mainly in the last calendar year. These people have a plan to act or participate in some activity, so they have great potential to participate in action-oriented programs.
