Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Participants will be randomized to 1 of 2 pathways:
* First pathway consists of organized health workshops. These workshops are intended to provide information on topics such as proper nutrition, management of stress, sleep practices, and emphasis on a healthy lifestyle that may help the participants through cancer treatment. This pathway will also test whether stretching may help participants through cancer treatment.
* Second pathway participants will take part in some unsupervised and some potentially supervised moderate activity sessions each week throughout participants' cancer treatment to take place either remotely or in person, depending on availability of facilities at the time visits are scheduled.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Secondary Objectives:
* To determine if a \>10% difference exists in the % change in peak exercise cardiac output, calculated A-VO2 difference, and pre-exercise measures of left ventricular function from baseline to 6 months of intervention between participants receiving the PAI versus HLI.
* Among these same participants, 1) to compare PAI and HLI groups on their baseline to 3 \& 6 months after initiating cancer treatment changes in 6-minWD, Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL), fatigue, strength, physical activity, cognitive \& physical function, 2) to determine the relationships between the 6-month time-dependent changes in these and peak VO2; and 3) to examine whether time-dependent changes in peak exercise cardiac output and/or calculated arteriovenous oxygen difference are associated with similar time-dependent changes in peak VO2.
* Assess physical activity engagement via accelerometry.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Physical Activity Intervention
Participants will have the ability to attend one to two training sessions per week and 1-2 sessions per week at home (the 4th level of our multi-level intervention) or the location site using the Trainerize application to deliver the exercise prescription.
Exercise with Trainerize application
1-2 sessions per week consisting of slow 15 minute aerobic warm, 20 minutes of strength training, 15 minutes progressive intensity aerobic exercise and 10 minute cool down (stretching/toning) with elastic bands.
Cardiopulmonary exercise testing
Maximal peak VO2 (to monitor the body's oxygen consumption) and 6-minute exercise walking test.
MRI scan
Images of the heart will be taken.
Quality of Life Questionnaires
Participants will be asked to complete several questionnaires that will measure fatigue, general health, social determinants of health, cognitive function (tasks that assess memory, ability to count, etc.) and physical activity. The questionnaires will take 15-40 minutes to complete.
Cognitive and Brain Function Questionnaires
Participants will be asked to complete several questionnaires that will measure fatigue, general health, social determinants of health, cognitive function (tasks that assess memory, ability to count, etc.) and physical activity. The questionnaires will take 15-40 minutes to complete.
Blood draws
Approximately 2 teaspoons of blood withdrawn from either a vein in your arm or a currently placed central line port-a-cath. A portion of blood from each visit will be used to collect information about blood cell count.
Healthy Living Intervention (Control Arm)
Participants randomized to the control arm will participate in organized health workshops. Each session will last 60 minutes and will be offered on location and virtually (e.g., Zoom) over 6 months. Participants will meet once a week for the first 4 weeks, biweekly for 3 months, and once a month for the last 2 months for a total of 12 sessions.

* Unstable angina
* Contraindication for exercise training or testing
* Inability to exercise on a treadmill or stationary cycle
* Significant ventricular arrhythmias (\>20 PVCs/min due to gating difficulty)
* Atrial fibrillation with uncontrolled ventricular response
* Acute myocardial infarction within 28 days
