Materials for Health Care Providers

Health care providers have a key role in promoting physical activity. Move Your Way® materials can help doctors, nurses, physical therapists, and other health care professionals share important physical activity messages with their patients.

Use these materials to help health care providers understand and promote key messages from the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans.

Fact Sheets

Our Move Your Way fact sheets offer conversation starters and talking points to help health care providers share key physical activity messages with their patients.

Tool for Planning Weekly Activity

Health care providers can share our interactive tool with patients to help them get active.

The Move Your Way Activity Planner helps people build a personalized weekly activity plan and offers tips for fitting activity into their daily routines.

The Move Your Way Activity Planner web badge and widget encourage people to visit the tool and build their weekly plan. Add the web badge and widget to your website to guide your audiences to the tool.

Sample Social Media Messages, Graphics, and GIFs

Use these sample messages, graphics, and GIFs to reach health care providers in your networks. You can adapt these messages to align with different events, priorities, and National Health Observances — like Health Literacy Month in October.
