Episode Synopsis

An interview with Eric Levitan, Founder and CEO, and Dr. Katie Starr,  Scientific Advisor at Vivo.[A]s we are aging, that strength training component is so important, because not only does it help us maintain muscle mass, it also helps with the quality of the muscle.  It helps us reduce that fat that starts to infiltrate that muscle, so that the muscle will continue to contract like it's supposed to, allowing us to continue to do the activities that we want to do, stay independent, and really be able to have that independence that we all crave as we get older and age and want to still do the things that we love with our families, with our spouses, with our friends.Dr. Katie StarrVivo inspirationMaintaining muscle mass Creating shared experiences Measuring successImportance of strength trainingThe role of fitness professionalsCreating community and social engagement onlinePhysical resilience and agingCOVID-19 pandemic impact on vision and modelhttps://www.movetolivemore.com/https://www.linkedin.com/company/move-to-live-more@MovetoLiveMore
