Table 4.

Distribution of subjects according to their readiness to perform aerobic exercise (eg, walking, swimming, bicycling) 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 aerobic exercise, the average time per week in this activity is shown

	Test-1	Test-6w	Test-4m
Group A Pain Cycle	Precontemplation = 10% Contemplation = 9% Preparation = 19% Action = 11% Maintenance = 52%	19% progressed 61% no change 19% regressed	26% progressed 47% no change 28% regressed
Average exercise time (min/week) in those already exercising	126	131	106
Group B Walk With Ease	Precontemplation = 0% Contemplation = 25% Preparation = 43% Action = 18% Maintenance =14%	60% progressed 27% no change 13% regressed	44% progressed 38% no change 19% regressed
Average exercise time (min/week) in those already exercising	83	121a	111
Group C Both Programs	Precontemplation = 7% Contemplation = 7% Preparation = 30% Action = 7% Maintenance = 50%	28% progressed 60% no change 12% regressed	17% progressed 52% no change 30% regressed
Average exercise time (min/week) in those already exercising	107	143a	128
