Our stretch bands work for people suffering from leg, knee and back injuries and help in stroke rehabilitation or recovery after knee or hip replacement. The bands are also great for Pilates or yoga – work at your own pace, in the privacy of your home, as you would with a chair gym!
- PERFECT GIFTS FOR ELDERLY PARENTS: maintaining senior wellness is an important part of the healthy aging process and physical exercises play an important role. Done regularly, exercises prevent heart diseases, diabetes or osteoporosis, improve balance and can also reduce pain associated with arthritis, sciatica or back pain. And these bands make regular exercises so much easier!
An active lifestyle is especially important as we grow old: by doing core exercises, improving balance and strength, doing stretch exercises to improve flexibility older adults can stay healthier longer.
What happens to our body as we age?
– Muscle mass decreases: we lose up to 15% of our lean muscle mass, which contributes to a lower metabolic rate as we get older.
– Balance decreases resulting in falls that can lead to fractures: more than one-third of people over the age of 65 fall each year, often resulting in injuries such as hip fractures.
– Bone density decreases and can lead to osteoporosis, a condition in which the bones become fragile and weak, and are more prone to fractures.
– Osteoarthritis becomes more common: the cartilage between the joints breaks down, causing stiffness, pain, and loss of movement in the joints.
The Healthy Seniors set is one of the easiest way to incorporate exercises in your daily routine: it includes two resistance bands, one set of handles and a printed booklet with detailed exercises. This means that you can work at home, at your own pace, without needing any other additional equipment such as leg machine or other accessories! You can sit and be fit!
The bands are made of highest quality 100% genuine eco-friendly latex imported from Malaysia (not rubber bands which are much cheaper and tend to break easily). They are stronger and able to stretch further, which means that you will feel the same resistance after a dozen reps. Natural latex is odor free, elastic, easy on skin, and does not twist up.
We have also included in the set a pair of handles – if you want a stronger grip you can attach them to the band (in the printed booklet you’ll find detailed instructions). All these are nicely packed in a quality box – making this set a great birthday, Christmas, Mothers or Fathers’ day present for older parents, grandparents or any senior citizen!
