Let's step up to 'Step it up!'.

FitEx is inclusive of all people, including those with a range of physical and intellectual abilities. Any bodily movement (physical activity) at a 15 minute duration counts as a "mile" of activity. Please speak to your healthcare provider if you have questions about safe and appropriate activities for you and/or your team members. Please contact the research team to discuss any needs for yourself or a team member.
