The Impact of a Routine Schedule on an Intervention With Working Midlife Adults to Form a Walking Habit For More Sustained Physical Activity

The intervention was more effective in increasing walking for participants with more routine schedules (relative to controls). Stronger developed habits helped intervention participants maintain their walking.
