Martha has already developed a new exercise routine and is planning to implement it in the next month. This shows that she is in the preparation/determination stage, where she is actively planning to make a change and taking steps to do so. The precontemplation and contemplation stages involve a lack of awareness or ambivalence towards the need for change, while the action/willpower stage involves actively implementing the change, which Martha has not yet started.
