## Resource

Interview with Sabrena Joe PhD, Senior Director of Science and Education at the American Council on Exercise (ACE). We delve into the psychological aspects that influence motivation and wellbeing in group exercise, particularly for older adults. Sabrena elaborates on her research paper, which explores 'motivational climate' through the lens of self-determination theory, highlighting the core needs of autonomy, competence, and relatedness. She presents the RRAMP framework (Respect, Recognition, Alignment, Mistakes, Participant), a practical approach to creating a motivational climate in group classes. The discussion expands on how implementing RRAMP benefits both the psychological and physical aspects of exercise, fostering inclusive, effort-focused, and supportive environments.
