Multi Modal Balance Training & Weight Loss
Supervised exercise 3 times per week for about 1 hour. The classes will consist of a group balance class (about 30 minutes), a supervised obstacle course (about 10 minutes), and lower body and core body strength exercises (about 20 minutes). Weekly nutrition sessions for individual dietary recommendations designed to produce about a 10% weight loss over the first six months of the study.
