Home-Based Exercise Program
The intervention will include a combination of both aerobic and body-weight based exercises. The aerobic portion of the intervention will include 5 days of light to moderate intensity walking for 30 mins. Intensity will be set at 40-60% of the individual's heart rate reserve. The body-weight based exercises will be done 3 times a week and will consist of 3 sets of 15 reps of bodyweight squats, incline push-ups, and hip thrusts. If these exercises cannot be performed, lower intensity exercises such as sit-to-stand, wall push up and pelvic tilt can be replaced. Individuals in this group will be given a pocket guide with instructions on how to safely perform the exercises and document their completion.
