Brief summary

FIT4Life is a text message based physical activity project that includes one baseline week and 26 weeks of intervention delivery. Study participants will be provided with fitness trackers to support their physical activity goals. The text messages are intended to motivate participants to engage in physical activity throughout the week, but do not prescribe specific exercises/workout regimens for participants to follow.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALtext messages

There will be two arms for the texting intervention: high and low. Both arms will receive text messages, but the frequency of the messages will vary by arm. Text intervention messaging will be sent through an automated text messaging service programmed by the CM Research Informatics team, which has been approved by the institution.
