Inclusion Criteria: 1. ≥18 years old 2. ability to speak/read English 3. ability to provide informed consent 4. underwent treatment within the last three years for a non-central nervous system-related cancer with said treatment having included chemotherapy 5. self-reported cognitive difficulties following cancer treatment 6. For CS+T2D: current T2D diagnosis as classified by a fasted blood glucose of ≥126 mg/dL, 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test of ≥200 mg/dL, HbA1c level of ≥6.5%, or use of medications to treat hyperglycemia (e.g., Metformin) or For CS: no current T2D diagnosis as classified by a fasted blood glucose \<100 mg/dL, 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test \<140 mg/dL, or HbA1c level of \<5.7%. Presence/absence of T2D to be confirmed preferentially via physician's documentation 7. own smartphone and/or computer with internet access 8. willing to participate in the 12-week remotely-delivered PA program Exclusion Criteria: 1. reporting a Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (2017 PAR-Q) score that indicates PA may potentially be unsafe, unless the participant produces a signed doctor's note. We will define 2017 PAR-Q+ scores as indicating that PA may potentially be unsafe as responding "Yes" to any of the follow-up questions except \[1\] if the individual indicates that they have high blood pressure but subsequent responses indicate that they do not have problems keeping it under control and that their resting blood pressure is less than 160/90 mmHg, and \[2\] if the individual indicates that they have a metabolic condition but subsequent responses indicate that they do not have problems controlling their blood sugar levels, do not any experience signs or symptoms of hypoglycemia, and do not have any signs of symptoms of listed diabetes complications) 2. engaging in ≥75 min/week of vigorous-intensity PA, ≥150 min/week of moderate-intensity PA, or an equivalent combination of both over the last 3 months 3. currently a prisoner, pregnant, or planning to become pregnant during study.
