This study is looking at how well the "Walk Your Heart to Health" program can be put into practice by African Methodist Episcopal (AME) churches in South Carolina. This program aims to help older African American adults increase their physical activity. Researchers want to understand what helps or hinders churches in offering this program and how it can be expanded to more churches. You might be able to join if you are 50 or older, a member of a participating AME church in Charleston or Columbia, and can attend in-person walking group sessions. The study will measure participants' steps using a pedometer at the beginning, after 8 weeks, and after 32 weeks to see if the program is successful. The current recruitment status is unclear.
