Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: BExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Treatment Arm B will be mainstreamed into an ongoing facility-based exercise program for post intervention exercise adherence. Persons in this "mainstream follow up" arm will be randomly assigned such that half will receive regular telephone reinforcement follow up and half will not.
Group II: AExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Treatment Arm A will develop tailored/negotiated contracts with the exercise instructor to maintain post intervention exercise adherence at home or in the community. Half of the participants in this "negotiated maintenance" arm will be randomly assigned to receive telephone calls to reinforce adherence and half will be assigned to a no telephone calls group.
