ONLINE: 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 tone 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’s focus is on cognitive, balance, and strength exercises. Classes are small and instruction is individualized. Certified personal trainers, skilled at working with older adults, provide modified exercises to meet each student's fitness needs. Classes meet twice a week for 45 minutes. You receive personal, one-on-one assessments before exercise classes begin to establish a baseline for your abilities. Following the conclusion of the exercise classes, a final assessment will be provided to measure your results. Whether you are new to exercise or exercise regularly, Vivo will help you meet your exercise goals. | Active Skill Learning.
