Brief summary: Aging is defined as a functional change in the organism which is not reversible with time progression. With this change in the organism, physical and cognitive functions are decreasing, and the potential of the individual to establish a balance between the systems decreased. For this reason, the aim of this is to investigate the effects of different home exercise programs on cognitive function, balance and daily living activities in healthy individuals.

Detailed description: 40 healthy individuals between the ages of 60-80 who agreed to participate in the study will be included in the study. Participants will be divided into 2 groups randomly. Both groups will be given balance exercises with aerobic exercise. The second group will be given second additional cognitive task besides doing usual exercises that the first group is performing. Exercises will be given in the form of a home exercise program and the treatment will last for 6 weeks. The continuity of the exercises will be controlled by telerehabilitation method. The participants will be evaluated before and after the treatment.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Participants between the ages of 60 and 80
* Mini Mental Status Test score to be over 24

Exclusion Criteria:

* Cardiovascular disease
* Cardiovascular surgery operation, pacemaker etc.
