Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •This research study is looking to recruit a convenience sample of i) former or current first responders, ii) aged 18\-65 years, iii) currently inactive defined as engaging in less than 150 mins per week of moderate\-vigorous physical activity per week, iv) cleared to participate in an exercise program (absence of any American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) absolute contraindications to exercise participation). Participants must also speak English, have internet access and an active Facebook account or be willing to create one.
- •First responders must also nominate their support partner/carer who may be any person with a close personal relationship to them eg. partner, family member, friend who have at least weekly in\-person contact with each other. This person must also be between 18\-65 years and be medically absent from any ACSM absolute contraindications to exercise.
Exclusion Criteria
- •Although we will not specifically target those first responders with a diagnosed mental disorder, by nature of the target population, it is expected that a high proportion of the participants will be receiving treatment for a mental disorder. Severely depressed individuals or those experiencing frequent suicidal ideation at the outset will be excluded from the study and directed towards appropriate services in their community. Participants will be screened prior to commencement of the study and those who receive a score in the K\-10 questionnaire of \>30 will be contacted by the research team. If these participants are not receiving treatment the research team will recommended they do and then excluded them from the study. Likewise, those whose medications have changed in the past 4 weeks will also be excluded.
- •Participants will also be screened with the physical activity vital sign and the ESSA pre\-screening tool. First\-responders who exceed 150mins of moderate\-vigorous PA will be excluded and those who answer yes to any of the 7 ESSA pre\-screening questions must get clearance to exercise from a general practitioner.
