Measure
Fitbit Only
In the Fitbit Only arm, participants will receive their exercise prescription, as devised from their baseline exercise stress test results, and a Fitbit. They will undergo a 9 week (interim) and a 22 week assessment (follow-up). Physical Activity Monitoring: A physical activity monitor (Fitbit) will be provided to both groups.
Fitbit + Coaching Sessions
In the Fitbit + Coaching Sessions arm, participant will receive their exercise prescription, as devised from their baseline exercise stress test results, a Fitbit, and will have 8 sessions with a coach (interventionist) over the course of 20 weeks. They will undergo a 9 week (interim) and a 22 week assessment (follow-up). Physical Activity Lifestyle Intervention: Coaches work with participants on three elements of behaviors change: (1) changing attitudes towards physical activity; (2) increase perceptions of other people's approval of physical activity for the participants; (3) increase perceptions of control over being physically active. These elements will be delivered using a non-judgmental stance accompanied by promoting appropriate goal-setting. Physical Activity Monitoring: A physical activity monitor (Fitbit) will be provided to both groups.
