Participants will meet with interventionists weekly for 16 weeks and receive instruction on the DASH diet with caloric and sodium restriction and will exercise three times per week at one of the designated CR facilities, under the supervision of medically trained staff, 3 times per week for 16 weeks.

Participants will receive routine medical care provided by the participants' primary care physician(s) supplemented by an educational session on hypertension management. Participants will receive a dietary consultation from the study nutritionist and an individualized exercise prescription from an exercise physiologist, but not participate in a structured program.
