Abstract
This paper discusses how wellness coaching can promote and increase physical activity among middle aged to older adults, addressing some of the challenges faced by this population based on research and survey data collected. The discussion will apply the biopsychosocial model to wellness coaching and explore factors that can influence physical activity as people age. The session will also discuss application, impact and recommendations for using wellness coaching to promote physical activity and to reduce the risk of suffering negative health consequences to age better.
