Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Physician-Led Remote Exercise Program InterventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Participants randomized to the intervention arm will attend three 45-minute walking sessions over Zoom per week for 4 weeks. All participants will be asked to wear Fitbit activity trackers to track steps every day and to regularly use blood pressure cuffs to measure blood pressure at home. All participants will also be asked to complete a brief set of surveys at the beginning of the study, after 4 weeks, and after 12 weeks.

Group II: ControlActive Control1 Intervention

Participants in the control group will continue with usual care. All participants will be asked to wear Fitbit activity trackers to track steps every day and to regularly use blood pressure cuffs to measure blood pressure at home. All participants will also be asked to complete a brief set of surveys at the beginning of the study, after 4 weeks, and after 12 weeks.
