Interventions
Participants will participate in a maximum of twice weekly exercise classes (90 minutes each class) for a total of 6 months. While participants will be encouraged to attend as many classes as able, there is no minimum requirement for class attendance. During the exercise classes, participants will participate in a 10-minute warm up, followed by 30-60 minutes of aerobic, resistance and/or balance training up to a maximum intensity of 8/10 on the rating of perceived exertion scale. Participants will finish each class with a 10-minute cool-down consisting of lower intensity exercise.
