The program includes 8 group sessions where participants will learn about a range of health topics which may include physical activity, incidental activity, goal setting, nutrition, fall prevention, and other topics depending on the group's needs.

Participants will be expected to attend the group sessions in-person and complete surveys and physical activity measurements at baseline, 3 months and 6 months.
