Partially supervised home-based walking exercise
Participants will be asked to exercise at home by walking at a moderate intensity. Each participant will receive an exercise prescription. Participants will receive a heart rate monitor. The heart rate monitors will be used to achieve a desired exercise intensity and to monitor adherence levels. The participants will receive biweekly to weekly phone calls, and monthly in person meetings will be used to address any barriers, provide encouragement, and progress the exercise.
Control
Participants will be asked to exercise at home by walking at a moderate intensity. The participants will receive biweekly phone calls, but will not receive a heart rate monitor, individual exercise prescription, or meet with the investigators monthly.
