Active Comparator
Live zoom exercise classes
Recorded zoom exercise classes
Participants will engage in a live zoom exercise session. Participants will undergo 45 minutes of aerobic exercise intervention, three times a week, for a period of 12 weeks. Exercise will include repetitive bouts of high intensity exercises with intermittent periods of rest or active recovery. circuit of moves like 'jabs', 'hooks' etc, and a strength and endurance class that promotes postural awareness.
Participants will undergo 45 minutes of aerobic exercise intervention, three times a week, for a period of 12 weeks, using a pre-recorded class that they can do according to their own schedule. Exercise will include repetitive bouts of high intensity exercises with intermittent periods of rest or active recovery. circuit of moves like 'jabs', 'hooks' etc, and a strength and endurance class that promotes postural awareness.
