August 1, 2010Abstract:
Physical inactivity is not only a waste of human potential and wellbeing (Hardman 2001), but the developed world tendency towards sedentary living is causing physical and mental illness, and avoidable deaths. As positive psychology aims to help individuals and communities not just endure and survive but also flourish (Seligman, 2002), this paper proposes an evidence-based group outdoor exercise intervention that will make it easier, and more enjoyable, for New Zealanders to get the regular activity they need to thrive.
