Abstract

According to 2017–2018 data from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, nearly 1 in 3 adults are overweight with 30%, more than 2 in 5 adults (42.2%) have obesity and approximately 1 in 11 adults have severe obesity, of 9.2%. In order to promote a healthier life, this work aimed at finding out whether intrinsic or extrinsic motivation that can trigger a higher decline rate of body mass index in a group of people in a gym. The samples are divided into two groups, which are group A with people that have extrinsic motivation, and group B with people that have intrinsic motivation. This project organized experiment every weekends, and last for 4 weeks. Although scheduling participants with the same work out calendar and activities during the experiment time, this project did not impose restrictions to participants’ diet and routine during weekdays beyond the experiment. Moreover, this project imposed a follow up interview to all the participants one month after the 4 weeks experiment ended, in order to find out the relationships of one’s motivation to their long term resolution in either maintaining a satisfied body mass index, or to keep losing it. In the end, we examine both the internal motivation and external motivation as influential in different aspect.
