#56 Joining Together for Physical Activity

About this episode

This episode discusses the importance of group and community support for achieving physical activity goals, featuring guests from various Oklahoma programs.

Adults should get 150 minutes or more of physical activity each week for good health. Busy schedules can make reaching that goal consistently difficult, and for those who go it alone, decreased motivation and even discouragement can derail one's desire to get up and moving. Group- and community-based can provide the encouragement needed to get and stay physically active, and this episode will delve into some Oklahoma programs that provide such social supports. Guests are Lance Walker of the Human Performance and Nutrition Research Institute at Oklahoma State University, Mitch Drummond of the non-profit Activate Oklahoma and Angela Daly, a program manager of TSET's newest physical activity grant program.
