Purpose
The goal of this behavioral research study is to find out more about the health behaviors of cancer survivors. Researchers want to understand the cultural, social, and environmental factors related to physical activity and personal diet. Researchers also want to learn if cancer survivors who take part in lifestyle interventions have better overall health and quality of life than those who do not take part in these interventions.

Primary Outcome Measures:
- Health Behaviors of Breast Cancer Survivors [ Time Frame: 6 months ]Data collected from mail-based surveys (n = 1,000) to assess intervention preferences, physical activity (PA), health related quality of life (HRQOL), and mediators of change (e.g., self-efficacy).
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Home-Based Exercise Feasibility [ Time Frame: 6 months ]Rates of recruitment (% recruited out of the total number invited), retention (% completing the 6-month intervention), adherence (% completing 100% of study requirements), satisfaction, adverse events, and barriers to a home-based aerobic and resistance-training program.

|---|---|
|
Experimental: Exercise Intervention Program Group
At baseline study visit, participant shown how to complete the physical exercises performed while on study. Pedometer received to track physical activity. Resistance training bands given to use as part of the home-based exercise program. At the baseline study visit, directions received on how to use the study website. Access given to website that will allow tracking of exercise behavior and help set goals. Access given to an internet-based curriculum that will help teach about goal-setting, overcoming barriers to physical activity, self-management strategies, and time-management skills. Participant asked to visit website every week. Participant records activity and the number of steps taken every day on the website. Survey completed monthly about attitudes and beliefs about physical activity.

Behavioral: Exercise Program
Resistance training bands, guidebook, and pedometer given at baseline visit. Internet-based curriculum access given to teach goal-setting, overcoming barriers to physical activity, self-management strategies, and time-management skills. Access given website that will allow participant to track exercise behavior and help set goals.
Behavioral: Website
Website access given that allows participant to track exercise behavior and help to set goals.
Behavioral: Survey
Exercise Intervention Program Group : Survey completion monthly about attitudes and beliefs about physical activity. Sedentary Behavior and Dietary Intervention Group: Survey completion monthly attitudes and beliefs about sedentary behavior and dietary intake. |

Sedentary Behavior and Dietary Intervention Group
Access given to internet-based curriculum to help teach about goal-setting, overcoming barriers to physical activity, self-management strategies, and time-management skills. Participants read information about improving the quality of their diet and cutting back on sedentary behavior. Participants record on the website how much television watched and how many fruits and vegetables eaten every day. Survey completed monthly about attitudes and beliefs about sedentary behavior and dietary intake.
