Abstract
Working women distribute their time between career and family, leaving little time and energy for personal health. Proven links exist between chronic stress and disease, which can be alleviated through regular exercise. Focused efforts by employers and advanced practice nurses can promote exercise as an effective tool to reduce stress, resulting in disease prevention and reduced health care costs. The coaching model is proposed as a method for health care professionals to encourage working women to develop a daily physical activity plan.
