The purpose of this study is to compare CORTEX (Cognitive Regulation Training and Exercise), a multi-faceted, general and exercise-specific cognitive training program plus a 4-month exercise program, to an attention-control condition involving health and wellness informational lectures plus videos. The proposed exercise program will involve both aerobic and resistive exercises. The investigators hypothesize that pre-intervention cognitive training will enhance self-regulation and self-efficacy and in turn, increase exercise adherence. The investigators also expect more positive improvements in cognitive and psychosocial function among participants in the CORTEX condition as compared to the Control condition immediately following the cognitive booster training, and across time.
