What’s stopping me—or someone I love—from building strength, and how might our lives change if we took that first step? Today’s episode is for anyone who wants to better understand the role that strength, movement, and mindset play in the Aging process. As we grow older, we naturally lose muscle, and that quiet decline can impact not only our independence but our overall quality of life. The good news? There’s hope. With the right support and approach, it’s never too late to start building strength—and confidence—again.
Our guest today is Eric Levitan, the founder and CEO of Vivo. After over 25 years in corporate America, Eric left a successful career in Technology to pursue something deeply personal: helping older adults reclaim their vitality through strength training. Inspired by watching his own parents struggle with the effects of aging, Eric set out to create Vivo—a virtual, personalized fitness program that empowers people to move, strengthen, and thrive. Through live, small-group classes, Vivo offers a supportive environment where older adults can overcome fear, build resilience, and rediscover their potential.
In our conversation, we talk all about what happens to our muscles as we age, the often-overlooked emotional barriers to Exercise—like fear, shame, and judgment—and how breaking through those mental blocks can be transformative. Eric shares his insights on fall prevention, self-compassion, how caregivers can support their loved ones without adding pressure, and how families can participate in classes with their loved ones. If you’re looking for inspiration, practical tools, and a refreshing perspective on aging and movement, this is the episode for you.
