Physical Activity Coaching

Participants will receive up to 5 coaching sessions by a physical or occupational therapist. The intervention will focus on facilitating physical activity engagement and development of specific and measurable goals. The recommended program will be individualized to each participant but will primarily focus on increasing general physical activity (e.g. steps per day) as well as engagement in moderate intensity aerobic exercise a minimum of three times per week. At the follow up sessions the therapist will review progress with the current exercise plan and progress and discuss barriers and facilitators for exercise engagement. Participants will have the option to use a Fitbit or other device to monitor their heart rate and physical activity during the course of the intervention period.
