Vivo Strength: Protecting Your Wealth Through Health

When most of us think about wealth, we picture financial security: bank accounts, investments, property, and the inheritance we’ll leave behind. Those things matter, and they are the visible markers of years of discipline, sacrifice, and hard work. But wealth in its truest sense depends on something even more fundamental: our health.

Imagine planning a long‑awaited trip or helping a grandchild through college, only to find your plans sidelined by a health crisis. It happens more often than most people realize. A 2019 study published in the American Journal of Public Health found that medical problems contributed to roughly 62 percent of personal bankruptcies in the United States. That stat is a blunt reminder: health is not just personal; it is practical.  

Health as an Engine of Wealth

The health pillar of Conscious Wealth is the engine that lets the rest of your life run smoothly. If those parts begin to fail, the things you built, your lifestyle, your legacy, your retirement plans, lose some of their shine. For people in their 40s, 50s, and early 60s, this is a useful moment to act.  

As we age, it’s natural to lose muscle and strength. The good news? Science has consistently proven that strength training can rebuild muscle at any age or fitness level, helping you regain strength, reduce fall risk, and maintain the quality of life you deserve. This also translates to fewer doctor visits and health-related emergencies. Further, strength training doesn’t just build physical strength – it also sharpens your mind, improves memory, and enhances focus. It’s like a workout for your brain and body at the same time!  

The Vivo Approach

Vivo bent over row

That is what we do at Vivo. We run live, instructor‑led strength classes online designed specifically for older adults. The classes focus on practical movements you use every day and are scaled to each person’s ability. Because sessions are live and in small groups, instructors can cue form and progressions in real time, and members benefit from short, consistent routines that fit into busy lives.  

Vivo is not about chasing perfection or drastic routines. It is about a practical habit that protects choice. Two focused strength sessions per week can make a measured difference and noticeable improvements in strength, endurance, and agility. For many, that habit preserves the very freedoms their savings were meant to support. Start small, be consistent, and give your future-self more options.  

True wealth is the ability to use your time and resources in ways that matter to you. Building your strength is one of the most practical ways to protect that ability.
