Physical Activity Intervention

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will participate in a multi-component physical activity intervention for 12 weeks.

Behavioral: Physical Activity

Interventions

Physical Activity BEHAVIORAL

Self-monitoring: Subjects will be provided with a commercially available activity monitor (i.e., Fitbit) and instructed to wear the device daily. Active Living counseling: The Active Living counseling program will consists of 12 weekly group educational sessions, facilitated by project interventionists. These sessions will involve discussion of topics related to increasing physical activity, including: identifying and overcoming barriers, setting goals, social support, and time management.
