Brief Summary:
This is a small pilot trial of a 5 month aerobic exercise intervention in participants with MCI (n=20) to begin to compare the effects of randomization to use an exercise buddy or to exercise without an assigned buddy. The investigators hypothesize that participants with MCI who exercise with a buddy will have higher adherence to the protocol and greater improvement in 400 meter walk time.
Detailed Description:
The overall objective of this pilot study is to determine feasibility and gather data that will inform the design of a larger, multicenter, randomized, controlled trial. Specifically, the investigators aim to:
2.1 Determine the feasibility of recruiting persons with MCI and a buddy for an exercise intervention.
\- For MCI participants who do not identify a buddy, the investigators will determine the interest and feasibility of recruiting volunteers from the community to be an exercise buddy.
2.2 Determine the effects of having an exercise buddy on:
* adherence to the protocol
* 400 meter walk time, an objective measure of improved physical fitness
* retention and satisfaction for both participant with MCI and buddy
2.3 Establish a scientific partnership with a community based exercise facility.
