Having a healthy city or neighborhood implies so much more than improving physical activity levels and healthy eating habits. Even so, improving the level of health and fitness of local citizens is a great place to start creating a healthier community. More than 60% of American adults fail to get the recommended 30 minutes of physical activity per day and 25% are not physically active at all. Learn how you can influence change in your local community by registering for free with America On the Move (AOM).

Start a neighborhood group—recruit neighbors, restaurants, radio stations, and anyone else you can think of—to join. Encourage everyone to post events and activities to keep the fun and momentum going both online in the AOM community and in your backyard. For more information on groups in AOM's community, please see our help section.

Use AOM’s toolkit to measure how walkable your community is and learn how to influence change to make your community friendlier for everyone. Join the movement as an individual user for free today, and then tell your friends.
