Inclusion Criteria: * Ages 18-30 years, or 65-89 years. * Ability to walk independently for 10 minutes continuously. * Willingness to be randomized to any experimental group and to participate in all aspects of study assessment and intervention Exclusion Criteria: -Major cognitive disorder that interferes with independence, based on affirmative response (always/usually/sometimes) to the following question: "As a result of confusion or memory loss, how often do you need assistance with day-to-day activities such as cooking, cleaning, taking medications, driving, or paying bills?
