Intervention for Healthy Brain Aging Study

The purpose of this study is to learn more about the effects of healthy lifestyle training on fitness, brain health, and cognitive function in older adults randomized to a "brisk walking" condition or to a "healthy aging education" condition. The focus of this study is to investigate if the brain benefits observed under "supervised training" can also apply when the training is done remotely in a person's real-world environment.
