Help Your Patients Succeed With Small Changes.

Small, specific changes in physical activity and calorie intake can make a big difference. Research shows that 90% of adults can prevent weight gain by increasing daily physical activity by just 2,000 steps and eating 100 fewer calories¹.   Losing as little as 5% to 10% of total weight can significantly improve health².

Now you can promote a simple, lifelong approach to health and weight management that advocates small daily changes.

America On the Move's Healthcare Professional Toolkit (HCP Toolkit) provides downloadable materials that will help your patients understand the importance of energy balance, the link between obesity and health concerns, and the long-term benefits of making wise food and activity choices.

We encourage you to register today to access and share our materials with your patients.  Click here to Get Involved Today, or if you are already registered, simply Login.  More importantly, we hope you join the movement by leading by example!

AOM's "Preventing Weight Gain" Patient Information Sheet is a simple tool that gives the patient important health facts and tips.  It also offers the patient the opportunity to activate what they have learned by requesting a free AOM Quick Start Guide and pedometer.
