Active You: Feasibility of a Unique Physical Activity Program to Prevent Diabetes and Heart Disease

The web-based Physical Activity for The Heart (PATH) intervention leverages openly accessible platforms, such as YouTube, to proffer workout videos that match the participants preferences. Currently, PATH includes over 90 workout videos vetted by a team of experts and curated on the PATH website in 3 controlled levels of intensity (beginner, intermediate, proficient) to foster gradual progression from low to high intensity PA in accordance with the FITT-VP (frequency, intensity, time, type, volume, progression) principle.

Be Active Your Way booklet was developed by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to help individuals integrate PA in their daily lives. It simply encourages individuals to increase their PA gradually and gives them examples of things that they can do.
