OSHER 202 - Build Strength and Fitness with Vivo for Seniors

Muscle strength and balance are critical to maintaining health and independence as we age. Without additional strength training, most older adults will suffer a loss of muscle mass and strength that can negatively impact their balance and mobility. Vivo, a live, online, interactive strength-building course customized to your fitness level, helps you attain physical fitness. Vivo exercise sessions consist of cognitive, balance, and strength exercises informed by the latest science and research on exercise for older adults. Vivo is the recipient of a National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant to study its science-based training strategy and personalized online small-group format for older adults. Classes are small and instruction is individualized. Certified personal trainers, skilled in working with older adults, provide modified exercises to meet each student's fitness needs. Classes meet twice a week for 45 minutes. Participants receive personal (1:1) assessments scheduled separately at the beginning and end of the course that measure their strength, balance, and mobility - critical health areas for people over 55. Whether you are new to exercise or exercise regularly, Vivo will help you build your strength and improve your fitness and mobility.
