Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Health coaching

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Dyad-based Zoom health coaching

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

This will be delivered by a certified nurse coach, certified in holistic nursing who will provide 6 sessions of Zoom health coaching over 12 weeks to dyads, biweekly (weeks 1, 3, 5,7, 9 \&11) for 45 minutes

Fitbit activity monitor

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants will be instructed to use the Fitbit to monitor their partners' PA in addition to their own. All participants will be instructed to "friend" their health coach to enable real-time monitoring of PA to inform coaching zoom calls. The Fitbit will provide feedback on steps, active minutes, and calories burned. Participants will be asked to wear the device on most days and while they sleep.

Electronic newsletters

Intervention Type OTHER

Newsletters will be sent twice monthly during months 1-3 via email or text with an online link. Newsletters will be designed to share educational PA-related information from publicly available resources. Newsletters will also contain tips for overcoming barriers to PA ,finding time to exercise, low-cost ways to be active and being active with kids.Newsletters will also contain links to brief exercise routines that participants can do in their homes and information on low cost/free exercise classes in the community, which may help to overcome perceived access barriers
