They must be able to read English at a sixth-grade level and attend weekend trainings. Women on certain medications or with physical limitations that affect exercise cannot participate.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study aims to understand why some African American women don't exercise much and if teaching them how to support each other's exercise habits can help increase their activity levels. It involves interviews, focus groups, questionnaires, newsletters about physical activity (PA), and motivational interviewing training.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial focuses on increasing physical activity through behavioral techniques rather than medication, there aren't typical side effects like those seen with drugs. However, participants may experience muscle soreness or fatigue as they become more physically active.
