Motivational Interviewing is a patient-centered, tailored counselling intervention for exercise, through which patients' motives to change are identified. Personal ideas and ambivalence are explored. The discrepancies between the present behavior and the patient's own future goals are amplified. The patient's intrinsic motivation for change is increased through the process.
