Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effects of 10 weeks of exercise on overall brain health, reduction in blood pressure, and the number of blood vessels in the back of the eyes in patients with hypertension and have a body mass index ≥ 25 kg/m2. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are:

* To test the effect of moderate vs intensive exercise on Brain Care Score outcomes.
* To ascertain the differential impact of moderate vs high intensity exercise in reducing hypertension and its downstream effects.

BEHAVIORAL

Exercise Intervention to improve overall Brain Health

During each exercise session, the participant will be assigned to the HIIT or MIT exercise group and asked to ride the stationary bicycle for approximately 30-40 minutes, while wearing the heart rate monitor and recording the session on their smart phone application. For each exercise session, the Polar Beat application will record the time in each of four intensity "zones". The participant will receive training on how to use the outlined schedule during the initial supervised training session.
