Exercise
gear from Swiss balls to Therabands
Few will argue that exercising is
important. The trick is in discovering physical activities
that you don't mind doing - or, better yet, that you actually
enjoy. So you stick with the plan. Boring doesn't
cut it over the long haul! It
also helps to have the right equipment. Being properly
outfitted improves performance and satisfaction and may well
help you avoid injury. Our
Exercise Stuff can help on both counts! We offer equipment
that is adaptable to numerous uses and fun to use. So you
can shape it to your needs and preferences. So it will
"grow" with you. And so (here's where pleasure
enters in) you do actually use it. This
isn't highly sophisticated, specialized (and expensive!)
machinery, but stuff that is solid, well-built, reliable and
safe. Take a look...

can help you become hand-healthy. Regain/build strength,

 Is
there anything more soothing than a massage? You can even
unknot those tense muscles by yourself using the ingenious
backnobber!
Nothing feels much better to
tight, sore, or spasming muscles than soothing warmth or
delicious cold. Studies confirm the pain relieving ability
of these two treatments. We offer a tempting array of
hot/cold wraps and packs, so you can put your muscles at ease.
For
comfort & safety, use a mat - an Airex Fitline, Fitness,
Coronella, Corona, Atlas or Hercules mat.
Exercise smarts
Regular exercise can
help rebuild physical strength, endurance, and coordination. It can
improve some mental abilities by an
average of 20% to 30%.
Even a small increase
in aerobic fitness can improve mental functioning. So
concludes a study reported by Johns Hopkins Medical
Center.
Adults over age 50
were randomly assigned to programs focused on:
 |
brisk walking, or |
|
stretching and
toning |
After six months, the
walkers showed substantial gains in executive control functions,
including the ability to plan, concentrate, and make
decisions.
The stretching group
showed no such improvement. |
