"* Remotely-coached/guided, home-based program delivered using telerehabilitation focusing on aerobic fitness and muscle strength as a mode of training.~* The exercise training prescription involves performing 3 days per week and include (a) aerobic exercise: 30+ minutes of moderate-intensity walking (≥100 steps/min) monitored by a waist-worn pedometer, and (b) resistance training: 1-2 sets, 10-15 repetitions of 5-10 exercises targeting lower and upper body, and core muscle groups using elastic bands.~* Other components of the GEMS program include appropriate exercise equipment (pedometer, resistance bands), one-on-one coaching sessions via Zoom, action-planning via calendars, logbooks for self-monitoring, and SCT-based newsletters."

BEHAVIORAL

Flexibility and Stretching Program (FLEX-MS program)

"* Remotely-coached/guided, home-based program delivered using telerehabilitation focusing on stretching and range of motion as the mode of training.~* The training will involve the same frequency, duration, timeline, behavior change content, and interactions with behavioral coach as the GEMS program, and account for activity, social-contact, and attention.~* Other components of the FLEX-MS program include appropriate exercise equipment (yoga mat), one-on-one coaching sessions via Zoom, calendars, logbooks and newsletters similar to the GEMS program."
