S26-0202A, The Benefits of Strength Training for Life’s Journey

This zoom class will consist of a 60-minute webinar with Vivo founder and CEO, Eric Levitan .
Did you know we start losing muscle as early as age 30, and this loss accelerates after 60, impacting balance, mobility, bone density, and independence? The good news? Strength training can help reverse that trend.
Join us for a dynamic session on how building strength supports better health, sharper cognition, and improved quality of life as we age. You’ll learn science-backed strategies to get started safely (and stick with it!) — plus enjoy a short demonstration and time for Q and A.

Presenter: Eric Levitan, founder and CEO of Vivo
Eric Levitan brings to Vivo more than 25 years of executive leadership in the technology sector. As he witnessed the decline of his parents’ health and quality of life as they got older, he realized he wanted a better understanding of the aging process to help them. That is why he started Vivo — to create awareness and a safe, engaging, and impactful program to guide older adults to a safer and healthier life.
Vivo is a live, virtual strength training program designed specifically for older adults. Our small-group classes are led by expert trainers who focus on building strength, balance, and confidence — all from the comfort of home. Backed by science and powered by community, Vivo helps seniors stay active, independent, and connected.
In the context of exercise, “VIVO” does not stand for an acronym; rather, it is derived from the Italian musical term meaning “lively, with life and vigorous.” It is a science-backed program that is NIH grant-funded.
