Class | Registration opens Monday, March 16, 2026 10:00 AM EDT
Join Vivo CEO Eric Levitan and Chief Scientific Officer Dr. Katie Starr for a 60-minute webinar on maintaining strength as we age. Participants will learn how muscle loss, which begins around age 30 and accelerates after 60, affects balance, mobility, bone density, and independence—and how strength training can reverse these effects. This dynamic session covers science-backed strategies to safely start and maintain a strength program, with a short demonstration and time for Q&A. Discover how building strength supports better health, sharper cognition, and a higher quality of life.
