Patients randomized to exercise intervention at baseline will participate in live-video-supervised exercise sessions x3/week for 3 months, and then will follow a maintenance regimen for 6 months. During maintenance, patients will continue live-video-supervised exercise sessions, only x1/week, and will be instructed to exercise on their own x2/week following an individualized prescribed exercise program and use their heart rate monitor as an activity tracker.
Patients randomized to usual care at baseline will receive usual care for 9 months and will then start the 3-month exercise intervention of live-video-supervised exercise sessions x3/week for 3 months.
