Are you ready to jumpstart your exercise program?
Pennington Biomedical Research Center is looking for individuals to participate in an exercise research study. This study will examine how three different exercise programs can affect changes in your body and impact your overall health.

Number of visits:

Study procedures:

Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups:

Participants will complete a six (6) month exercise intervention at the Pennington Biomedical Fitness Center. Those enrolled in one of the exercise groups will come to the Fitness Center 3-5 times per week for approximately 60 minutes a session. (Alterations of this schedule can be arranged). Each week during the intervention, weight, medication usage, and adverse events will be recorded. The exercise groups will not be provided with dietary information.
