Brief Summary
Hypothesis 1: Exercise will decrease serum markers in a dose response manner. Hypothesis 2: Participants in the 60 minute intervention will have significantly higher physical activity levels than those in the 30 minute intervention at three months.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Exercise will decrease serum markers (insulin, C-peptide, IL-6 and PGE-2) in a dose response manner.
Changes in serum levels of four risk-related biomarkers: insulin, C-peptide, IL-6 and PGE-2 comparing baseline and 3 months serum levels.
3 months
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Participants in the 60 minute intervention will have significantly higher physical activity levels (measured by pedometer and accelerometer) than those in the 30 minute intervention at three months.
3 months
Study Arms (2)
Arm A: 30 minutes walking
EXPERIMENTALFirst Step program with 30 minutes of walking and 10,000 steps per day for 3 months.
Arm B: 60 minutes walking
EXPERIMENTALFirst Step program with 60 minutes of walking and 13,000 steps per day for 3 months.
Interventions
* 7 days prior to baseline participants must wear a blinded pedometer * At baseline information on the blinded pedometer will downloaded to the computer for analysis as well as number of days worn and hours of wear. Sociodemographic, cancer risk factors, height/weight, fast blood draw to check levels on insulin, C-peptide, IL-6 and PEG-2 and questionnaires PPAQ, Exercise Confident Survey and Sallis Social Support Scale, Day/night; Home/Work, neighborhood safety, HINTS, IPAPS, CES-D, Brief COPE, Urban and Life Stress Scale.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- aged 50 to 80
- no personal cancer history
- found to have an adenomatous polyp upon colonoscopy at BJH/WUSM in the previous six months
- no contraindications to beginning an exercise program
- no previous diagnosis of familial polyposis syndromes
- no previous diagnosis of ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease;
You may not qualify if:
- Participants who are regular NSAID users will be excluded as this may interfere with the measurement of inflammatory marker outcomes. Regular use is defined as taking 80mg or more per day of aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen or other NSAID 5 or more days of the week.
