New Way Retirement Homes Can Gain New Residents And Increase Current Residents' Health

Online, July 2, 2011 (Newswire.com) - For the entire month of July, for Retirement Homes and other types of Assisted Living Facilities, Fit Express is running a 10% OFF Special for their FIT for Boomers exercise program. The equipment and workout was specially designed for seniors and offers retirement facilities a safe, affordable, and exciting way to increase resident health and wellness, socializing, and quality-of-life.

Relieving stress, monitoring health, and preventing disease are areas of much concern for senior citizens. Seniors 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%.

Regular cardiovascular and resistance exercise are essential for improving health. However, the risk of injury, inability to properly use the equipment, intimidation, muscle soreness, and joint pain commonly associated with resistance exercise are among the top reasons senior citizens cite why they don't do resistance exercise.

Fit Express' hydraulic exercise equipment is a new way to exercise. It is perfect for seniors because it is extremely safe and provides a smooth motion with absolutely no eccentric load to worry about slamming down. The machine arms literally conform to the users' capable range of motion, and their physical capability, so it's very easy on joints. Unlike other resistance equipment with heavy weight stacks, pulleys, and various adjustable settings-Fit Express equipment has only 2 small easy-to-reach levers, has no exposed moving parts, and no other controls or seat settings to be adjusted. Users just get on and go. The equipment is unbelievably easy to understand and use.

FIT for Boomers is a group exercise workout program. Workouts can be as simple as "Get on a machine for 2 minutes and then everybody switches to another machine." This type of exercising lends itself well since the equipment doubles as both a cardiovascular and a functional strength-building machine. The workouts are simple and easy to do groups of 8 or more at a time.

Harry Layne, an 81 year old diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease, attributes Fit Express' fluid machines with greatly reducing his symptoms by increasing both his balance and his strength. Residents in retirement homes look forward to their workout and getting to socialize with the other residents. Offer FIT for Boomers in your facility-Attract new residents and Invigorate your current residents.
