High-Intensity Interval Training Physical Activity (PA) Advice
This PA intervention will be primarily self-directed by the patients themselves. Each participant will receive a 1-page double-sided handout detailing their PA protocol. Participants in this arm will receive a CSEP handout (page 4&5 from: http://csep.ca/CMFiles/Guidelines/CSEP_PAGuidelines_0-65plus_en.pdf) detailing their PA recommendations.Participants will be instructed to follow their PA protocol, while noting down which days they completed the PA using a log booklet provided to them by Dr. Fernando (their family physician). Participants will be provided with the phone number for Justine Horne who is a lifestyle coach and co-investigator on this trial. If participants have questions about their PA protocol, Justine will respond to these over the phone.
