Phase N/A

Active You is a study designed to help people reduce the risk of diabetes through fun activities like walking, dancing, and toning exercises. People with obesity often avoid physical activity because of issues like stigma (feeling judged) or low confidence. This program, called Physical Activity for The Heart (PATH), uses popular YouTube videos to encourage people to be active without focusing on losing weight. Instead, it promotes general health benefits, such as improving heart health. The program is flexible and can be done anywhere, anytime, making it easier to stick with even if the weather is bad or during a pandemic.

Key Points:

  • The study is for adults who have a body mass index (BMI) over 30 and use the internet regularly.
  • Participants will wear a device to track their activity and should currently exercise less than 150 minutes per week.
  • People who are pregnant or have certain health conditions may not be able to join the study.
