Abstract This study sought to test the use of operant conditioning principles to increase the levels of exercise of the author‚ more specifically to increase the quantity of push-ups and sit-up sets. A baseline measuring of the sum of both sets of exercise was recorded over a 10 day period. An intervention plan was then used in an attempt to increase the levels of exercise sessions done in the subsequent 10 day intervention testing period. The Bloom’s method was used in the analysis to compare the

models of behavioural learning‚ which are called respondent conditioning and operant conditioning respectively. Lavond (2003) highlighted that the starting point for respondent or classical conditioning is an involuntary response to a stimulus. This is usually an innate behaviour that does not require specific though to demonstrate‚ and is usually an automatic response such as jumping at the sound of a loud noise. Respondent conditioning in the sense of stimuli and responses was initially investigated
