Healthy weight loss is a growing concern in an increasingly sedentary world. This study explored the effectiveness of the implementation of physical activity changes in the lives of three overweight mother daughter pairs from a rural area in Virginia. The intervention was over a six-week period. The physical activity intervention focused on the promotion of safe walking and fitness.
