Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Physical ActivityExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The intervention will last 11 weeks, and participants in the intervention group will have individual weekly web-meeting using a video conferencing platform. The weekly meeting is expected to last approximately 30 minutes. During this meeting, participants will report on the past week's physical activity goals, failures and successes, set goals for the next week, discuss that week's behavioral strategy to promote physical activity for that week, and engage around 5 minutes of physical activity. The topics that will be discussed in the newsletters and weekly meetings will include behavioral strategies for physical activity changes. Those in the control group will also be contacted weekly for 11 weeks and will be asked about their physical activity levels for the past week. These meetings will also occur using video conferencing and last 5 minutes.
Group II: ControlActive Control1 Intervention
During the 11 weeks the participants in the control group will have a weekly check in meeting using a video conferencing platform. The weekly meeting is expected to last approximately 5 minutes. During this meeting, participants will report on the past week's physical activity levels.
