This application is for an academic research study about how random daily messages influence participants' motivation to increase their physical activity. The purpose of this application is to receive messages sent at random times each day that provide motivation to increase physical activity.

1. Allow notifications: You must select "Allow"
2. Always allow location: You must select "Always Allow"
You will begin receiving randomly scheduled messages the next day.

The people in the Penn State research study kicked me out of the program for having a rash on my arms and not wearing my Fitbit for 1 hour of 1 day out of a week for it to charge. They didn’t even send me a new band until past halfway through that week so I was just wearing it and letting the rash get worse to try and meet their unrealistic standards. Do yourself a favor and do not be in their research study it is not worth your time and effort for the little reward they’ll compensate you with.
