Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether a long-term exercise program can improve physical health and well-being in older women aged 60 years and older who live in the community. The main questions this study aims to answer are: * Does taking part in a supervised exercise program lower waist size? * Does the exercise program improve walking speed, leg strength, and the ability to move safely? * Does the program improve motivation for physical activity and feelings of support and well-being? Researchers will compare a Supervised Multi-Domain Exercise Program (intervention group) with Usual Daily Activities (No Structured Exercise) (control group) to see whether the supervised exercise program leads to better physical and psychological outcomes. Participants will: * Be randomly assigned to either the exercise program or a control group * Take part in supervised exercise sessions twice a week for 12 months if assigned to the exercise group * Complete physical tests, body measurements, and questionnaires about motivation and well-being at the start of the study and after 12 months
