Description of intervention(s) / exposure
BEHAVIORAL - Intradialytic Cycling

Experimental: Exercise (Intradialytic Cycling) - Participants will receive a standardized baseline exercise counseling session as per control and then participate in a supervised intradialytic cycling program for 12-weeks

No intervention: Usual Care - Participants will receive a standardized baseline exercise counseling session. Participants in the control group will not undergo formal exercise intervention, but will not be prohibited from participating in exercise outside of hemodialysis. They will be asked to not to participate in intradialytic cycling during the study (16 weeks total).


BEHAVIORAL: Intradialytic Cycling
This intervention will consist of intradialytic cycling for 60 minutes 3 times per week for a total of 12 weeks.
