Heart Focused Movement Effects on Cardiometabolic Risk

Participants will engage in 8 weeks of gentle movement/mindfulness videos provided in a daily text prompt, asking that this be practices most days of the week. A choice of practice video links will be provided, ranging from 10-30 minutes in length, and later confirmation texts will be employed to document if practiced, and what length was chosen.

"Randomized participants will be coached to practice a breathing technique that focuses attention on the sensations in the heart area, slowing and deepening the breath, and activating through memory or imagery a positive emotion. This practice is used along with a feedback device that provides information on achievement of the heart rate variability target, coherence that represents a neurocardiac state associated with vagal tone, or balance."
