Brief Summary
The hypothesis of this study is that participation in the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) Bone Builders program 1 hour, twice per week, for 12 weeks may result in significant positive changes to the health status of older adult participants as demonstrated by increased leg strength and walking speed, improved balance and balance confidence, and enhanced life satisfaction. These improvements may lead to a reduction in risk of falls.
