Game-based intervention

Investigators will provide participants with a smartphone and required accessories (gift card for downloading the game application and music, headphones, armband). The game, "Zombies, Run!" encourages walking/jogging by playing music interspersed with a continuous narrative. Periodic "zombie chases" encourage brief interval training. Participants will set goals to increase their activity and receive weekly brief counseling phone calls to provide feedback.
