The VRWP group will have VR with an instruction to increase their number of steps daily to at least 3,000 steps using the pedometer (VR plus walking plus pedometer group). They will receive pedometers (Fitbit Zip), instructions on how to use the pedometer, step log forms, with home instruction handout to walk more at least more than ten minutes at a time. The participants will record on their activity log the number of steps shown on the step display at the end of the day. The daily step log form will be given to the research staff every visit for recording. The research staff will encourage their participants to increase their daily steps at least 10% until they achieve at least 3,000 steps daily.
