This pilot study, called VESPA, is looking at new ways to help adults aged 45-80 become more physically active and reduce loneliness. Many adults aren't active enough, and this study aims to overcome common barriers like lack of access and social support. You would participate in either a Virtual Reality or Video Conference group. Both groups involve behavioral counseling sessions and one-on-one coaching to help you reach about 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous activity each week. Researchers will measure how many people attend all their sessions and how acceptable the programs are. This study is currently recruiting 30 participants.
