Theme 2: Weather
HEAT, COLD, COLD
Adverse weather conditions were identified as a barrier to participation, particularly for the aerobic component of the program. In some cases, heat and humidity impacted participant’s motivation to exercise (e.g., ‘…on those really hot humid days. You just didn’t feel like doing [the exercises].’). Cold and winter weather were also identified as barriers (e.g., ‘It’s been too cold to walk outside. Especially when I hate the cold to begin with.’, and ‘It would have been easier to schedule the walks for sure had the weather been nice.’).
