Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Physical activity adherence or 'sufficient' physical activty via the Active Australia Survey. All particpants will complete this survey at the below timepoints.[Baseline, 6(end of intervention period), 12, 18 and 24 months.];Physical activity adherence via the Actigraph GT1M accelerometer. All particpants will wear the accelerometer for a week in the month prior to the data collection points. The Active Australia Survey will be completed at the end of this week.[6 (end of the intervention period), 12, 18 and 24 months.];Physical activity adherence assessed via exercise diaries. Participants were encouraged to record any exercise completed in the exercise diary and return the diaries in the provided reply paid envelope at the end of the month. Exercise completed will be compared to exercise prescribed to determine adherence.[6 (end of intervention period), 12, 18 and 24 months.]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Aerobic capacity via the 2 minute step test.[Baseline, 6 (end of the intervention period), 12, 18 and 24 months.];Quality of life via the SF-12 quality of life survey.[Baseline, 6 (end of the intervention period), 12, 18 and 24 months.];Disease biomarkers via waist circumference (cm), waist:hip ratio, body mass index (kg/m2) and blood pressure (mmHg).[Baseline, 6(end of the intervention period), 12, 18 and 24 months.]
