Health Coaching
Dyad-based Zoom health coaching: This will be delivered by a certified nurse coach, certified in holistic nursing who will provide 6 sessions of Zoom health coaching over 12 weeks to dyads, biweekly (weeks 1, 3, 5,7, 9 \&11) for 45 minutes Fitbit activity monitor: Participants will be instructed to use the Fitbit to monitor their partners' PA in addition to their own. All participants will be instructed to "friend" their health coach to enable real-time monitoring of PA to inform coaching zoom calls. The Fitbit will provide feedback on steps, active minutes, and calories burned. Participants will be asked to wear the device on most days and while they sleep. Electronic newsletters: Newsletters will be sent twice monthly during months 1-3 via email or text with an online link. Newsletters will be designed to share educational PA-related information from publicly available resources. Newsletters will also contain tips for overcoming barriers to PA ,finding time to exercise, low-cost ways to be active and being active with kids.Newsletters will also contain links to brief exercise routines that participants can do in their homes and information on low cost/free exercise classes in the community, which may help to overcome perceived access barriers

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, 12 weeks

Population: Includes all twenty individuals enrolled (participants and their study partners).

A modified version of the validated Leisure Score Index from the Godin Leisure-Time Exercise Questionnaire (GLTEQ) was used to assess episodes, intensity, and duration of PA during a typical 7-day period within the past month. The modified GLTEQ asked the participants to recall the amount of time spent in strenuous, moderate, and mild physical activity for each day over seven days. Time spent in moderate and strenuous physical activity was summed to calculate minutes of moderate-to-vigorous activity from the modified GLTEQ. Responses to the GLTEQ at each of the study assessments were converted to estimated weekly metabolic equivalent (METS). Responses on the LTEQ were converted into estimated weekly METS using a slightly modified version of the formula used by the developers of the GLTEQ: \[(total METS = minutes of strenuous exercise / 15) × 9\] + \[(total minutes of moderate exercise / 15) × 5\] + \[(total minutes of light exercise / 15) × 3\].
