SWET: Supervised Weight loss and Exercise Training

Weight loss will occur via a dietitian-led intervention targeting weight loss over 16 weeks, with weekly weigh-ins and group support sessions. Exercise training will consist of three times per week of an interval-based aerobic program plus twice-weekly resistance training. Both weight loss and exercise training will be supervised to maximize safety and adherence.
