The intervention group will participate in a workshop during the balneotherapy providing them informations about physical activity and also about the way to use the web and smartphone-based physical activity program along with the use of the connected devices (scale and pedometer). After the end of the balneotherapy, the intervention group will have access to the web and smartphone-based physical activity program during 12 months.
