This eHealth exercise intervention includes over 90, 10-minute exercise videos with options for exercise type, time, and intensity, customized to the weight of the infant. Users can either select up to three 10-minute videos to create a 10 to 30-minute workout or choose a 'Ready Made' workout that is either 10, 20, or 30-minutes long.

Group II: Usual CareActive Control1 Intervention

Participants in the usual care condition will follow their usual standard care as suggested by their provider. Participants will complete the same assessments and incentives as the active intervention but will not receive the eHealth exercise intervention.
