Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
A Twelve week intervention with one non impact aerobics group and one control group will be performed.
Standing balance will then be retested on all subjects and the results will be statistically compared.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Active non impact aerobics
This group will be performing a 12 week non impact aerobics program twice a week.
Non Impact Aerobics
a 12 week, twice a week class in non impact aerobics
Control group: Passive lecture series
The control group will also be measured for balance and then attend a 12 week lecture series with no exercise. They will then also be remeasured post lectures series
Passive : lecture series
a 12 week, once a week for one hour lecture series with no exercise. Topics will cover symptom management in Multiple Sclerosis
