Summary

This is a 2x2 study examining the impacts of a novel exercise regimen and daily text message reminders in patients at high risk for cardiovascular disease. Patients participating in cardiac rehabilitation will be randomized to either moderate intensity continuous training (MICT) or a novel exercise regimen consisting of three periods of high intensity exercise, called BURST exercise. Additionally, half of the patients in each exercise group will be randomized to receive daily text message reminders to improve adherence to the prescribed exercise regimen.
