Incentivizing Lifestyle Modification to Reduce Disease Burden

The intervention will include meeting at an agreed upon community center location and time convenient for both the participant and the researcher. During these meetings, the participants will engage in indoor walking under the supervision of the researcher. This is to ensure accurate walking distance recording and also to monitor the participants for any potential adverse events. The participants will have the option of walking as long or short as they please, so long that it is less than 20 miles per week. This is to protect the participants from exhaustion or overexertion. Overall activity of this group will be recorded using Fitbit Flexes, worn at all time for the duration of the study.
