Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Home-based, DVD-delivered physical activity

Subjects will be participating in a home-based physical activity program that focuses on flexibility, toning and balance. Exercises will be progressive over the six-months and will highlight modifications for varying levels. This program will be delivered on 3 DVDs. Participants will be asked to exercise with the DVD at least three times per week. Additionally, they will be encouraged to add two days of aerobic activity (e.g. walking) each week.

BEHAVIORAL

Usual care/Wait list

Participants in this arm will receive a DVD that focuses on healthy aging topics but does not include physical activity. They will receive the FlexToBa DVD afer the completion of the 12-month follow-up testing.
