Summary:
Tension and stress reduction were among the most strongly endorsed of the perceived benefits of physical activity. Other perceived benefits included more positive outlook and increased selfesteem. Financial costs associated with exercise, lack of motivation, and time constraints were among the most common perceived barriers to exercise in this sample. Together, these preliminary data indicate that exercise-based interventions may be well-received by those early in recovery from AUD.
