Brief Summary

Decreased physical activity is not only associated with multiple chronic medical conditions, including obesity, but also with depressed mood, and other negative emotions. As many employed adults spend a great deal of time at work where we are predominantly sedentary, strategies to increase physical activity at work are being pursued to help improve the physical and mental health of Americans. This 17 week randomized controlled trial will investigate changes of occupational physical activity in three groups: those provided with a FitBit® but not able to monitor their activity level, and those provided with activity goals and individual physical activity challenges, and those who do not use a FitBit®.
