Low-Amount/Moderate Intensity Exercise
High-Amount/Moderate-Intensity Exercise
High-Amount/Vigorous-Intensity Exercise
Low-Amount/Moderate-Intensity Exercise + Diet
Aerobic exercise at 50% peak oxygen use/consumption expending approximately 1,000 calories per week equaling approximately 10 miles per week OR 2.5-3.5 hours per week
Aerobic exercise at 50% peak oxygen use/consumption expending approximately 1,600 calories per week equaling approximately 16 miles per week OR 4-6 hours per week
Aerobic exercise at 75% peak oxygen use/consumption expending approximately 1,600 calories per week equaling approximately 16 miles per week OR 2-3 hours per week
Exercise - 150 minutes per week (30 minutes / 5 days per week) of aerobic exercise at 50% peak oxygen use/consumption equaling approximately 10 miles per week Diet - The CLI sessions will provide training on needed skills (e.g., calorie counting, portion size estimation) as well as motivation and support in a group counseling setting designed to achieve a weight loss goal of 5 to 7% of baseline body weight.
