"In person training: Participants will receive a 2-hour in person education session with the exercise trainer. Self-monitoring: Subjects will self-monitor subjects' level of physical activity (steps \& minutes of moderate activity) using the smartwatch. The Google calendar and Fitbit apps will send messages and alerts to the subject's smartwatch that encourage subjects to achieve subjects' daily goals. If a participant has low activity for 3 consecutive days, the research assistant will call the participant to either encourage the participant to adhere to the plan or provide a modified plan after consulting the exercise trainer.~Phone consultation: Subjects will have biweekly phone consultation with the research team members to receive guidance and adjustment on activity plans. Financial incentives: The intervention will include financial incentives. Specifically, when the daily activity goal is achieved for more than four days per week, a $5 reward will be given to subjects."
