Exclusion Criteria

• Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (Thomas, et. al., 1992): This 7-item scale will be used to screen out individuals who will need to consult a physician for medical clearance before engaging in physical activity based on a human subjects concern raised during National Institutes of Health (NIH) review due to the fact that the comparison condition covers behaviors including physical activity. If a participant checks off any of the items, we will ask for a physician clearance before consenting to study as a precaution, so the study is not posting information on physical activity to those individuals who are not health enough for exercise
