Interventions

• Walking — BEHAVIORAL
  Prescribed 150 minutes per week of moderate to vigorous walking.
• Variety — BEHAVIORAL
  Prescribed 150 minutes per week of moderate to vigorous variety of exercise. Each week participants are randomly asked to participate in cycling, walking/jogging, yoga/Pilates, or cross-training.
• Progressive — BEHAVIORAL
  Prescribed 150 minutes per week of moderate to vigorous progressive variety of exercise.

Participants can choose which exercise they want to do, and can do as much or little as they want.

Study Details

Only 50% of sedentary adults that start an exercise training program adhere to the program after 6 months. Exercise variety may improve adherence. The goal of this study is to examine different exercise interventions that include a variety of exercise on adherence.

Arms

• Active Comparator: Walking
  Participants prescribed 150 minutes/week of moderate to vigorous walking.
• Experimental: Variety
  Participants prescribed 150 minutes/week of moderate to vigorous variety of exercise. Each week participants will be prescribed a single different exercise (variety) which will include cycling, walking/jogging, yoga/Pilates, and cross-training.
• Experimental: Progressive
  Participants prescribed 150 minutes/week of moderate to vigorous exercise. The exercises include cycling, walking/jogging, yoga/Pilates, and cross-training, and each week another exercise will be added to the list of options for participants. Participants may choose from the list of exercise. They do not have to do them all, and they can do as much or little (none) of whatever they choose.

Primary Outcome Measure
