Physical Activity in Rectal Cancer Survivors

Participants will perform a baseline +4000 steps/day for the duration of the study. Aerobic exercise, similar to a brisk walk, will be recommended as the primary mode of exercise.

Participants will complete a series of survey at multiple points throughout this study to assess quality of life issues. Questionnaires may be completed via paper forms with prepaid postage envelopes or using a REDCap online survey.

Participants will meet with a health coach, the Principal Investigator, to review baseline bowel habits and symptoms as well as discuss physical activity and potential strategies to achieve this goal, on a weekly basis for 12 weeks.
