Cardiometabolic Health Intervention Using Movement-to-Music Exercise

Participants will attend 3 exercise sessions per week for 24 weeks. Each session will last 15 - 40 minutes. Increasing by 5 - 10 minutes each week. Each session will last from 25 to 50 minutes by increasing 5 to 10 minutes each week. The exercise program will focus on improving cardiorespiratory fitness using a series of movement patterns accompanied by music. The program will be tailored to individuals' abilities (e.g., use of arms only vs. truck movement together; slow vs. fast tempo music). The exercise will be prescribed at a moderate intensity level (working somewhat hard with increased heart rate and breathing rate). For the follow-up phase (weeks 25-36), participants will receive the recorded M2M exercise sessions between the M2M instructors and themselves to continue to exercise for the remaining 12 weeks.

Participants will exercise for 36 weeks using pre-recorded exercise videos. The videos include warm-up, flexibility, muscular strength, aerobic endurance, balance, and cool-down.
