Participants will be instructed to practice at least 30 minutes a day (at least 3 days per week) throughout the intervention and post-intervention period.

Body Training (BT):behavioral

Participants will practice BT under the instruction of a BT instructor. There will be 24 sessions. Each session will last 60 minutes and will occur twice a week for 12 weeks. Sessions will be supplemented with home-based practice using an instructional DVD and handouts. Participants will be instructed to practice at least 30 minutes a day (at least 3 days per week) throughout the intervention and post-intervention period.
