Active You: Walk, Dance, and Tone Your Abs to Reduce Your Risk of Diabetes is a study that helps individuals with obesity engage in fun and accessible physical activities (PA) like walking and dancing to improve heart health without focusing on weight loss. These activities are available on YouTube, making it easy to join from home. The program considers barriers such as lack of time and stigma and uses the Physical Activity for The Heart (PATH) intervention strategy, which shows how watching others succeed can motivate you too.

Key Points to Consider:

• The program runs online, so you need regular Internet access and a device to view content.
• Participants must wear a waist device called an Actigraph to track activity for at least 4 days.
• You should not be pregnant or have any medical condition requiring supervised exercise to join.

To take part, you must be 18 or older, have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or more, and not currently meet physical activity guidelines, which means less than 150 minutes of activity per week.
