Brief Summary

The goal of this project is to develop a scalable physical activity intervention tailored to rural men. We will recruit participants nationwide from ResearchMatch data base, emails, and social media posts. Participants will have access to health education materials hosted on Healthie, a health coaching software platform, and provided an activity monitor (e.g., Fitbit) to support behavior change. The health education materials provide participants with education, motivation, and support for making health behavior change (e.g., increasing physical activity levels). We will measure physical activity behaviors, psychosocial, and several health outcomes

Study Groups

Intervention Group

Participants receive a Fitbit and access to a 10 week educational course that accessible through the web or app. While participants can complete the program at their own pace, there is a suggested schedule with 1-2 modules/lessons completed per week. Each module has a different topic related to promoting adoption and maintenance of physical activity.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

No BS just Fitness

Intervention Type: BEHAVIORAL

The participants receive lessons on the physical activity guidelines, goal setting, physical activity planning, habit development, identity formation, and how to apply all these tools together. In addition, there are numerous resources provided to other existing web resources, including exercise videos and other informational webpages (e.g., USDA nutritional recommendations).
