PACE-Life

PACE-Life Groups will occur twice per week for 15 minutes in the first two weeks, progressing to 30-minute walking sessions over the course of the intervention without changes in frequency. The intensity of virtual walks will increase throughout this intervention in a stepwise fashion to create an exercise dose response to maximize impact on CRF.

BEHAVIORAL

Exercise Intervention

Data from Fitbit devices will be synced and accessed through Fitbit.com. Participants will be provided account information to view data but will be asked not to change any of the settings as the investigators will be using data for tracking steps/day and minutes spent walking.
