Phase N/A

Active You: Walk, Dance, and Tone Your Abs to Reduce Your Risk of Diabetes is a study focused on helping people with obesity become more active. Physical Activity for The Heart (PATH) is a program designed to encourage enjoyable physical activities (PA) like walking, dancing, and core exercises without focusing on losing weight. This helps people avoid feeling discouraged if they don't lose weight quickly. The program uses videos of people of similar body types exercising to motivate participants. This study is important because it looks at how exercise can improve health without stressing about weight loss.

To join the study, you must be at least 18 years old, have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, and have regular Internet access. You should also monitor your activity using a waist-worn device for at least 4 days. If you're pregnant, involved in legal health issues, or have conditions needing supervised exercise, you're not eligible to participate.

  • Participants will have to wear an activity monitor.
  • Sessions are available online, making it easy to access.
  • Focus is on enjoyment and health, not just weight loss.
