SUMMARY:F26-0915A\, Staying Strong and Independent: What the Science Shows (And What to Do About It)
DESCRIPTION:This session explores the growing body of research on strength training and its role in supporting healthy aging. Participants will learn how strength impacts mobility\, balance\, metabolic health\, and overall independence\, along with practical ways to incorporate it into daily life.\nWe will also examine what happens to the body as we age\, including the natural loss of muscle mass (sarcopenia) and discuss simple\, research-backed strategies to address it—particularly through strength training and nutrition.\nAdditional benefits\, including the connection between strength training and cognitive health\, will be introduced to provide a more complete picture of how movement supports overall well-being.\nThe session includes a brief\, guided class demonstration to help participants experience how strength training can be adapted for different levels and abilities\, followed by time for questions and discussion.\nSpecial Note: This presentation serves as both a standalone educational opportunity for anyone interested in understanding what happens to our bodies as we age—and what we can do about it—as well as an informational session for an upcoming multi-week Vivo program offered to LLI Manassas members at a special rate. Participation in the multi-week program is optional and requires a fee separate from LLI membership. \nPresenter: Eric Levitan\nEric Levitan & Kevin Snodgrass  – All Vivo trainers are certified and guided by the Head Trainer Kevin Snodgrass\, who leads program development and trainer oversight.  Kevin has over 10 years of experience and holds multiple advanced certifications\, specializing in strength and functional training.   \nNote the DATE of the ZOOM call – It is September 15\, the day after LLI registration begins.  This will give you time to consider a ZOOM exercise program twice a week for 8 weeks.  You can pick which days and times work best for you. \nLLI Coordinator: Kelly Espy
