This study is looking at whether special messages can help older adults who have difficulty walking continue their exercise routine. You would have already completed a 12-month at-home strength training program called FAST. Researchers want to see if messages that focus on not losing the benefits you've gained from exercise, called "Loss Aversion Messaging," encourage you to exercise more regularly compared to standard reminders. The main goal is to find out if these messages make you more likely to anticipate regretting it if you don't exercise, and if that regret leads to more consistent exercise. The study involves a 5-minute daily at-home exercise program for 4 months and regular online surveys.
