Motivational Lifestyle Counselling
"The intervention will focus on individual goal setting and self-efficacy, where participants describe their everyday life in terms of sitting time and set goals how to reduce their daily sitting time. Project staff will introduce the patients to the possible benefits of reducing their daily sitting time.~The intervention focuses on 4 key messages or themes, which are written in booklets that will be handed to the patients: 1) Reduce daily TV-viewing, 2) Substitute sitting with standing when possible, 3) Break up prolonged sitting and 4) Maximum 30 minutes of sitting.~Based on the patients' own individually goals the patients decide how many weekly SMS reminders they want to receive during the 16-week intervention period.Example:~• Hello X. Raise from your table stand-up and allow gravity to assist your lunch to digest. Bonus: You burn more energy when you stand."
