Brief Summary:
HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins) have beneficial effects (prevent stroke, heart attack) but also some bad ones (block some good effects of exercise). Individuals have genetic variations in proteins that metabolize/transport statins. The investigators hypothesize that these variations modulate the relationship between statin use and lack of benefit from exercise. The investigators will test this by having statin-users do supervised exercise for 6 weeks, measuring the cardiorespiratory fitness before/after and correlating this to genetic variations present in the participant.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Single arm Other: Exercise
Patients will exercise on a treadmill three times weekly at approximately 60% VO2max for 30 minutes (week one) followed by 45 minutes (week two and thereafter) for a total of 6 seeks.




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Peak oxygen consumption (VO2max) [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ]
    Change pre/post intervention; compared with genomic variants


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Resting heart rate [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ]
  2. Resting systolic blood pressure [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ]
  3. Weight [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ]
