Brantley's Theory extended the academic body of literature knowledge. Her research within this context proved assertions outcome; similar to men counterparts, women are 'Risk-Takers.'

Over the years, Cecilia has hired fitness instructors and formed a vast partnership with like-minded organizations to offer wellness programs for the underserved 55+ population in Chicago's southside communities. Her Philosophy: Elders often need to be remembered instead of forgotten about! They are the pillars that hold a community together, particularly during challenging times. Today, mature active agers live longer and care more about preserving healthy lifestyle changes that include multiple wellness dimensions _Brantley, C. A. (2005, Sept). Good fitness programs; multi-step process. Chicago Health, p. 12.

Dr. C understands that motivation can be lacking, and support is necessary. Therefore, besides higher-intensity activities, BSF offers the first level of basic movement: a walking program. This activity will help those who are sedentary. Members get an opportunity to meet others who are getting started with joining a fitness wellness group. As a result, lasting relationships develop, and word spreads fast about the nonprofit BodyParts Senior Fitness-BSF free service. This outreach initiative demonstrates that they care to connect with the older generation and uplift their spirit! Alternatively, those who can't get out or want to exercise at home for convenience can view the choreographed produced video search word "Exercise Every-BodyParts." The workout is 90mins, which entails a tutorial on each component's purpose, illustrating modifications, and 30mins bonus diversified sessions. (Line Dance, Pilates, Etc.)
