Summary

This study tests whether a 10-week group program that combines health talks, team games, and goal-setting can help inactive African American women become more active. 360 women who currently exercise less than 60 minutes per week will take part. The program uses FitBits and group support to encourage physical activity, and results will be measured right after the program and again 6 months later.
