  5. Ability to provide consent from their personal physician to participate in this study.

Exclusion criteria

  1. Reporting regular exercise participation of at least 20 minutes per day on at least 3 days per week during the previous six months. (This study is designed to recruit relatively sedentary adults.)
  2. Diabetes, hypothyroidism, or other medical conditions which would affect energy metabolism.
  3. Currently pregnant, pregnant within the previous six months, or planning on becoming pregnant within the next 24 months. (Pregnancy will be based on self-report and will be included on the detailed medical history that is completed by subjects.)
  4. Non-medicated resting systolic blood pressure >160 mmHg or non-medicated resting diastolic blood pressure >100 mmHg, or taking medication that would affect blood pressure.
