Summary

This study tests whether using a Fitbit alone or with health coaching helps adults aged 40+ with central obesity (large waistline) move more and improve heart health. Over one year, 133 participants will either continue their usual routine, use a Fitbit with step and sleep goals, or use a Fitbit plus a structured coaching program. The goal is to see if these tools can lead to healthier movement patterns and lower risks for heart disease and diabetes.
