What is Activate South Carolina?
Activate South Carolina is a FREE year-round healthy living awareness program that targets youth and adult obesity and related diseases. The program encourages participants to accumulate at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity five days per week by completing their daily activity log online. Participants will receive Healthy Living information about nutrition, exercise and health education weekly on the website. Participants also take part in weekly and monthly weigh-ins and counseling, as well as attend “Health Talks,” a series of lectures by wellness and medical experts that focus on topics related to health and wellness. Participants will be challenged to begin healthy eating and regular moderate-intensity exercise. They will be supported by wellness experts (over a year) as they jumpstart their quest for a healthy lifestyle.
