• Detailed Information

    • Digital Video Library: A collection of physical activity videos tailored for adolescents, covering formats such as yoga, salsa, cardio, Pilates, barre, strength training, hip hop, HIIT, core, warm-ups, cool-downs, and guided relaxation. Medical School

    • Flexible Lengths & Options: Videos come in varying durations and difficulty levels to accommodate different time availability and physical ability. Medical School+1

    • Provider Resource Tools: Materials (e.g. PDF guides, social media promotional ads) are made available so healthcare providers can safely share video resources with adolescent patients. Medical School+1

    • Research & Evaluation: The team conducts research to understand what youth want in movement videos, barriers to participation in physical activity, and the effects of inclusive activity programming. Medical School+1

    Notes / Limitations:

    • Move + Thrive is not a live or in-person fitness program — it provides digital resources only.

    • It does not directly provide clinical or physical therapy services; its output is meant to be a supplemental tool rather than a substitute for professional care.

    • The initiative is primarily designed for adolescent populations; younger children or adults outside of this scope may find limited fit.

    • Because the project is integrated with academic research, the availability of new video content or updates may depend on funding cycles, staffing, and research priorities.

    • The provider guides are meant to support distribution, but the initiative does not guarantee integration in all health systems or clinics.

    • As with any digital resource, access depends on having internet access and a device capable of streaming video.
