2. On a scale from 1 to 5, on average how many hours a week are spent on a physical activity? 0 being none, 1: 1-3 hours, 2: 4-6 hours, 3: 7-9 hours, 4: 10-12 hours, 5: 13+hours

3. On a scale from 0 to 5, how motivated are you by athletics/competition? (Ex: winning, to do well in your sport, to move up in your sport etc)

4. On a scale from 0 to 5, how much are you motivated by body image concerns? (such as losing weight etc.)

5. On a scale from 0 to 5, how motivated are you to exercise based on health and fitness? (ex: healthy well-being, leading a healthier lifestyle etc)

It turns out that the people I chose to interview were a good mix of athletes and non-athletes. Therefore I was able to see if there were differences in motivational patterns between athletes and non-athletes.
