Intervention: Ground-based walking training
Description: Participants randomized to this condition will be mailed a pedometer (3DFitBud Simple Step Counter) and instructed on its use to establish baseline steps/ day for 7 days. They will then receive a booklet with instructions to establish a walking program and three brief (10-15 minute), bi-weekly calls from a trained staff member to review step count values and engage in setting personal activity goals over the course of 6 weeks, following established exercise guidelines for individuals with COPD.

Intervention: Caregiver support
Description: Participants randomized to this condition will identify an informal caregiver who is involved in their healthcare (i.e., spouse, family member, or friend), who will receive a mailed copy of the Respiratory Health Association's COPD Caregiver's Toolkit, a comprehensive informational resource to support the care of the person living with COPD. Caregivers will receive two brief (10-15 minute) check-in calls from a trained staff member. The structured content of these sessions will include providing an overview of toolkit content, identifying goals for sections(s) to review and incorporate into caregiving activities, and addressing any questions.
