Table 3.

Distribution of subjects according to their readiness to perform therapeutic exercise (strengthening stretching, balance) at the initial test (Test-1), and changes from the initial test at 6 weeks (Test-6w) and 4 months (Test-4m). Of those already performing therapeutic exercise, the average time per week in this activity did not differ between groups or across tests within groups

	Test-1	Test-6w	Test-4m
Group A Pain Cycle	Precontemplation = 4% Contemplation = 11% Preparation = 26% Action = 12% Maintenance = 46%	26% progressed 55% no change 19% regressed	23% progressed 45% no change 32% regressed
Average exercise time (min/week) in those already exercising	72	74	79
Group B Walk With Ease	Precontemplation = 0% Contemplation = 18% Preparation = 46% Action = 18% Maintenance =18%	57% progressed 29% no change 14% regressed	31% progressed 38% no change 31% regressed
Average exercise time (min/week) in those already exercising	77	62	47
Group C Both Programs	Precontemplation = 3% Contemplation = 17% Preparation = 30% Action = 10% Maintenance = 40%	38% progressed 42% no change 21% regressed	30% progressed 52% no change 17% regressed
Average exercise time (min/week) in those already exercising	75	51	47
