Experimental Treatment
Group I: Intervention: Behavioral Change Techniques to encourage Habit FormationExperimental Treatment5 Interventions
Individuals will receive daily text messages with the goal of increasing daily walking by 2,000 more steps 5 days per week. Participants will be enrolled for a baseline period lasting 2 weeks where their average daily activity level will be assessed using a Fitbit device to generate an average daily step counts. Following completion of baseline, participants will be asked to generate a walking plan with the goal of walking an additional 2,000 steps above their baseline activity level on 5 days per week. This walking plan will include details about day of the week, time of day, and location of walking. Once participants have completed their walking plan, they will receive daily texts based on the 5 identified BCTs for the duration of the 10-week intervention. All BCTs will be delivered daily. The goal of the text messages will be to encourage habit formation for walking behavior.
