Active You: Walk, Dance, and Tone Your Abs to Reduce Your Risk of Diabetes

The Active You study helps adults with obesity (BMI over 30) become more active and reduce diabetes risk. Obesity can make exercising hard due to stigma (feeling judged) and low confidence. This study uses the Physical Activity for The Heart (PATH) program, which includes fun activities like walking, dancing, and core exercises. The program is accessible online through YouTube, making it easy to find workouts that fit your schedule and preferences. The aim is to improve health without focusing on weight loss. Instead, it focuses on making exercise enjoyable and improving heart health and other body functions.

  • Must be 18 years or older and have Internet access.
  • Participants should not be pregnant or planning to become pregnant soon.
  • Compensation: Participants will track their physical activity using an Actigraph device.

The study is open to those who do less than 150 minutes of exercise per week. If you have certain health issues or need supervised exercise, you might need to talk to your doctor before joining. This program aims to make exercise more fun and less stressful for everyone.
