Interventions
Exercise Intervention
Eligible and consented participants randomized to the exercise arm will work with an exercise trainer three times weekly for 12 weeks. Training sessions will be delivered virtually using HIPPA Complaint IU Health Zoom. These sessions will last 60 minutes and include cardiovascular exercise, resistance training, and balance or stretching exercise. The participants will be able to use any equipment they already have at home but will be provided a heart monitor and a set of resistance bands. All sessions will have a moderate-intensity training goal, defined as 40-80% of heart rate reserve (HRR). Cardiovascular exercise will include any at-home equipment available to the participants or follow a Tabata-style program. Resistance training will include a full body workout, emphasizing all major muscle groups. Trainers will progress or regress intensity levels based on the participant's rate of perceived exertion (RPE), heart rate, and individual response during each session.
