Summary
This study tests if a new approach called 'Exercise Forecasting' can help people with prolonged-sitting jobs become more active. Twenty participants will wear a smartwatch, answer two questions daily, and receive customized motivational messages. Researchers want to see if these tailored messages make it easier for people to exercise and sit less.
