In a recent study at Virginia Polytechnic University, researchers divided people starting a walking program into two groups.  Every week, each individual in one group got a phone call asking how their exercise program was coming along; the other group got no calls.  At the end of 24 weeks, 45% of the individuals who got the phone calls were still walking compared to just 2% who did not receive calls.  The results show that weekly accountability increases the likelihood of sticking to your exercise program by 2200%!
