- description
- Subjects in the exercise group will participate in a 3-month exercise program at the University of Miami UHealth Fitness and Wellness Center. Participants will complete two exercise sessions a week, each 45-60 minutes long and on a one-on-one basis. In addition to two site visits, the participants will receive a tailored daily home-based walking plan. The participants will use physical activity trackers (Fitbit®), with an ultimate goal of achieving 10,000 steps by the end of the intervention. Participants in the exercise intervention will complete 24 sessions.

- Wellness Intervention
- description
- For 3 months, the wellness education group will not be offered any form of supervised exercise program or receive any specific instructions on physical activity as part of the study. The participants in this group will attend educational sessions about different wellness topics, such as nutrition, sleep, weight management, mindfulness, and the overall benefits of increased physical activity. The wellness visits will be held two times per month, and similar to the exercise sessions of the intervention arm, they will be 45-60 minutes long and on a one-on-one basis. Participants in the wellness education group will complete 6 sessions.
