PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. Administer and determine the feasibility of the perioperative physical activity intervention. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To describe patient and family caregiver outcome patterns and trajectory pre- and post-intervention. II. Using qualitative methods, evaluate the acceptability of the intervention through brief, semi-structured interviews with patients and family caregivers. OUTLINE: Patients and family caregivers complete comprehensive geriatric and functional assessments before surgery. This information is used to develop a personalized walking program plus simple lower extremity strength exercises. The intervention is administered by trained coaches with physical and occupational therapy background. The sessions are delivered by telephone before surgery (30-60 minutes), and on days 2, 7, 14, and 21 after hospital discharge (20-50 minutes). Participants will also receive brief motivational text or email messages (4 times per week between telephone sessions) to provide support, promote physical activity behavior change, and to sustain participant engagement. Patients and family caregivers are followed up to day 30 after hospital discharge.
