Shana is most likely to use a reward-based incentive system to motivate her exercising behavior. Buying herself a new pair of shoes after exercising every day for two weeks will provide her with a concrete reward for her effort and help to keep her motivated to continue with her routine. Focusing on how much pleasure she feels or working out at a specific time of day may not provide a tangible reward, and weighing herself each morning may create an unhealthy and unsustainable focus on weight and appearance.
