^*Example: a subject in the WB exercise program would start with an average daily walking duration of 5900 steps per day and increase 10% to 6565 average steps per day at 2 weeks by walking an additional 14 minutes at about 100 steps per minute each of the 3 exercise days. Subjects would walk the prescribed amount on the 3 exercise days. On off days, they would walk their regular self-selected amount, but their step count would be carefully monitored using the SAM. After 3 months, this subject potentially could walk 10,700 steps per day.

A subject with a beginning average step rate of 5900 steps per day in the NWB exercise program would be assigned a beginning stationary bike duration of 14 minutes and increase every 2 weeks by the time previously indicated. After 3 months, the subject would exercise on the stationary bicycle for 23 minutes, a comparable time with that of the subject walking in the WB exercise program.
