INTRODUCING FITNESS FOR SENIORS
09 Dec 2015
a_space has recently expanded their exciting Fit for Parks outdoor gym range to incorporate items that specifically address the needs of seniors.
a_space’s newly expanded Fit for Parks range specifically addresses the needs of seniors. Our new items concentrate on improving dexterity, flexibility and strength, which are essential to maintaining quality of life for older adults.
New items include:
Dexterity Builder | Providing the opportunity for users to maintain or improve their co-ordination and dexterity by gripping the handles (one with each hand) and guiding the handles through the spiral-shaped track in a co-ordinated effort.
Step Up Station | Suitable for both seniors and younger people. For seniors, the step up aids in everyday activities such as stepping onto a bus or walking up a staircase.
Shoulder Mobility Station | Provides the opportunity for users to maintain/improve their range of shoulder movement and strength by gripping the handle and guiding it through the track in a circular motion. The range of movement can be increased by the user bending their knees to increase reach.
With more than 250 Fit for Parks outdoor gyms available in public spaces throughout Australia, a growing number of communities are enjoying the benefits of fitter, healthier residents.
