The progressive aerobic exercise will involve walking that varies from from 15 to 30 minutes done 2-4 times per week at an intensity from 40% to 65% of heart rate reserve. Therabands elastic bands will be used to perform 12 to 15 repetitions per exercise. Once a participant can comfortably complete 15 repetitions for all prescribed sets, they will increase resistance by moving up to the next band.
