Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Exercise

An individualized 12-week exercise intervention that will follow American College of Sports Medicine guidelines to ensure a gradual safe increase in frequency and intensity. The exercise goals for participants in the intervention arm are to increase minutes/week of aerobic exercise, build strength and muscle mass, and improve flexibility, core strength, and balance progressively over the course of 12 weeks. The participants are prescribed 3 sessions of aerobic exercise lasting 45-75 minutes each, including warm up and cool down; 2 resistance training sessions per week, and at least 3 flexibility and balance sessions per week. Intervention arm receives the following: Control arm "Successful Aging" newsletter plus additional educational materials related to exercise, heart rate monitor and resistance bands, and two 90-minute sessions and ten 30-minute phone sessions over 12 weeks with an exercise coach (the first two sessions include a resistance training session).

OTHER

Calls and Newsletter

A 12-week remote health education program developed by the study team to provide a control for the exercise intervention. Participants in this arm will receive a summary of the American College of Sports Medicine guidelines (self-directed and time-based), a twice-monthly "Successful Aging" newsletter with suggestions for health diet, stress reduction, and social engagement, and twice-monthly phone calls to reinforce and discuss topics in the newsletter and to review adverse events and change in medications.
