Review with the individual during, and after, programme completion

The Importance of Reviewing During the Programme

Regular reviews while a programme is ongoing are crucial in tracking progress and making necessary adjustments.
These reviews should be individualised and interactive - each person will have unique responses and progress rates to their exercise programme.
During these reviews, feedback should be provided on performance, including areas of improvement and achievements thus far.
It’s an opportunity to re-evaluate goals and adjust them if necessary. Goals may need to be revised based on the participant’s progress, new interests, or changes in health/motivation.
Regular monitoring and review can help detect any problems or risks that might cause injury or hamper progress.
It’s also an ideal time to reinforce positive habits and provide motivation to stay committed to the programme.

After the completion of the programme, a comprehensive review should be conducted. This discussion should highlight the individual’s progress, achieved goals, and areas where more work is needed.
Post-programme reviews will help in evaluating the effectiveness of the existing exercise plan and make necessary changes for the future.
This is also a chance to discuss and establish new goals. Goals reached should be celebrated, and then new, more challenging ones can be set.
Assessing the individual’s satisfaction level and feedback is necessary. This will not only help you improve, but also boost the participant’s confidence in the process and their own abilities.
The next steps should be planned at this stage, whether it be continuing the current plan, modifying it, or starting a new routine entirely.
Long term planning for maintaining the exercise routine should be discussed. Keeping an individual engaged and motivated for exercise beyond the programme is crucial for the promotion of lifelong fitness and health.
Lastly, a comprehensive review after the completion of the exercise programme can lead to better personalisation in designing future programmes, ultimately leading to a more satisfying and effective workout experience for the individual.
