Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- All individuals who currently do not meet recommendations for a physically active lifestyle, are over the age of 18 inclusive, who are not retired, work at a PHC centre, and are without risk factors for cardiovascular events are eligible for inclusion.
- To screen for the low active participants, investigators will use the L-CAT (see Section 9.5). All participants who score 1-3 will be included in the study. Those who score 4-6 will be excluded.
- They must also work at a Providence Health Care centre.
Exclusion
- Participants must be cleared to participate in exercise. The 2021 Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire for Everyone (PAR-Q+; Section 9.5) will be used to minimize any risk of exercise and ensure the safety of individuals (Warburton, Jamnik, Bredin, Shephard, \& Gledhill, 2018). Given that exercise is a risk factor for cardiovascular events, participants must report any family history of cardiovascular disease, stroke or myocardial infarction (American College of Sports Medicine, 2018). If participants do report a family history of cardiovascular events, they must receive a note from their family physician clearing them for moderate to high intensity training. If payment is required for this clearance, participants will be reimbursed.
- In addition, as informed consent requires individuals to be at least 18 years old, participants under the age of 18 will be excluded.
- Participants who are currently retired from their work or who do not currently work at a PHC centre are ineligible to participate.
- Participants without personal smartphones or computers, and those without internet service at home will be excluded.
