To describe the physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviors of postpartum Latinas who are overweight or obese prior to initiating Madres para la Salud, a social-support mediated walking intervention to promote postpartum weight loss. 139 postpartum (13.6 ± 7.7 weeks since childbirth) women (age = 28.3 ± 5.6 years and BMI = 29.7 ± 3.5 kg.m2), recruited from Phoenix area Latino-serving organizations completed the Stanford Brief Activity Survey (SBAS) and concurrently wore an accelerometer (AG) and a pedometer for 7-days, and kept a PA record (PAR). Most were classified as inactive and lightly active on the SBAS (51% inactive, 37% light, 11% moderate). Most time was spent in sedentary (512.0 ± 169.9 min.d−1) and light-intensity PA (242.4 ± 51.4 min.d−1) with less time in moderate-intensity lifestyle (78.3 ± 39.9 min.d−1), moderate-intensity walking (16.6 ± 14.4 min.d−1), and vigorous-intensity PA (0.34 ± 1.5 min.d−1). Pedometer steps.d−1 were low (total = 4,973 ± 2,202 steps; aerobic = 412 ± 774 steps) with most participants rated as sedentary (61%) or low-active (28.1%). Consistent with objective PA measures, PARs showed more time spent in light-intensity PAs such as home care, cooking, child- and self care tasks, occupation, religious events, and watching television. By and large, the postpartum Latinas enrolled spent most of their day in low-intensity activity levels with little time spent in health-enhancing PA levels/behaviors. This demographic should be the focus of PA interventions to increase PA to health enhancing levels.
