Seniors Exercise Equipment
Senior's appreciate many of the same things women do when it comes to exercise. When considering exercise equipment for seniors, safety is of extreme importance to this population since many have preexisting conditions. Fluid resistance is the safest to use and easiest of all on joints. FIT™ can be likened to swimming in most respects with the added bonus of being able to stabilize joints and have better muscle control. In addition, not having to wear revealing clothing helps remove another exercise barrier. The absence of eccentric loads nearly eliminates DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) which is a deterrent to most older adults. This makes FitExpress' fluid machines perfect for seniors exercise equipment.

It Addresses Seniors' Health Concerns-
As people age their quality of life may begin to diminish. This can be slowed and in many cases reversed through proper nutrition and regular exercise. Relieving stress, monitoring health and preventing disease are areas of much concern for senior citizens. They understand the importance of improving their lifestyle, but in many cases their options are limited. In a 2005 poll by USAToday/ABC aging adults said that losing their health was the top concern (73%). This was above losing the ability to take care of oneself at 70%, losing mental abilities at 69%, and running out of money at 60%.

It Accommodates Seniors' Exercise Equipment Concerns-
Conventional exercise is unappealing to the senior citizen fitness market. They want to maintain strength, but traditional strength exercise can be tough on joints, especially for those experiencing arthritis. There is also the risk of injury with any system using an eccentric phase to the movement, common with conventional strength exercise. Soreness is also an initial side effect of using conventional equipment at a senior fitness center. Our hydraulic exercise equipment is fluid-based and has no eccentric phase so it is extremely easy on joints and greatly reduces soreness. The solution is incorporate your senior's facility with high quality Fit Express exercise equipment!

It Accommodates Additional Senior Quality-of-Life Concerns-
An additional reason you should use hydraulic exercise equipment in your senior-targeted facility is that it can easily be incorporated in accommodating another need that seniors have—social interaction. Seniors find cardio training boring because it leaves out any opportunity for interaction which is important for many who have little of this in their lives. Aerobic classes provide a group atmosphere, but cannot accommodate various fitness levels effectively nor do they allow for interaction.
The Fit Express hydraulic senior exercise equipment system removes all the common barriers to exercise and sets the stage for a positive exercise experience. This non-impact, simple circuit training provides a total body cardio and strength routine that accommodates any senior exercise fitness level. Its interactive capability makes it very appealing to seniors.
