Study Details: This study is being conducted at Texas Christian University, Richel building 256 and 259. The project is sponsored by a Texas Christian University Invests in Scholarship grant. The purpose of this study is to looks at how gut bacteria affect exercise benefits. We want to see if a supplement called butyrate can help people who don't get better insulin response from exercise. Butyrate is a natural substance made by gut bacteria when they break down fiber in your diet. The study lasts 12 weeks, including a 12-week supervised exercise program (30-60 min per day/5 days per week), 4 weeks of taking a butyrate supplement daily (weeks 8 to 12), 3 material pick up visits (10 min each) and 3 lab visits (60 min each). All participants will follow the 12-week exercise intervention and all participants will follow the 4-week supplementation. Par
