The program, based at UConn Health, has a loyal group of participants, some who\u2019ve been with the program since it began 15 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>The goals of the program are relatively simple: Improve your strength, endurance, balance and sense of well-being. The program is based on more than a decade of research and training involving older adults at the UConn Center on Aging.<\/p>\n<p>Powerful Aging instructor Mary Root is a certified personal trainer and has many years of experience as an older adult fitness instructor.
