Abstract. Habituation of exercises are in preventing lifestyle-related diseases. However, existing habituation applications fail to address mental factors of individual users. This method, users dialogue daily with avatars assigned to them based on their motivation. The avatar proposes suggestions for short-term goals based on the intention level and the current goal achievement, as well as analysis results based on collected data to users. From the group of pre-survey subjects, we obtained 2 kinds of groups. We created avatars based on each group to verify their effectiveness. We found that the avatars have improved the goal achievements of the subjects.
