5 Reasons Isawall Is The Ideal Exercise Apparatus For Seniors
Seniors make up a huge segment of the population, and today’s seniors are more aware of the need for sound diet and exercise than any generation in the past. Seniors today are more inclined to workout in their home or local gym than ever before, and in many cases their health insurance will actually pay for them to go to a gym. Whether it’s from their doctor, family, television, or their health insurer, seniors are constantly being reminded of the need to engage in regular exercise.
Isawall can play a unique role in helping seniors get the most out of their workouts. Our fitness wall was designed specifically to accommodate the broadest range of users possible, and seniors were at the top of the list in its design. So let’s take a look at five reasons why Isawall is such an ideal workout apparatus for seniors.
The Exercises Are Functional In Nature
One of the most important aspects of working out for seniors is doing exercises that will translate into daily life. This means often using multiple muscles simultaneously and working in multiple planes of motion. Very few daily activities are done using single muscle groups in one single plane of motion. The various attachments that Isawall utilizes are designed so that functional, multi-joint exercises can be performed that closely simulate activities for daily living.
Isawall Utilizes A Ton Of Core Muscles
One of the unfortunate realities for many seniors is that their core muscles are highly under developed. A weak core can translate into postural issues, back problems, and increased risk of injury. The core is utilized constantly throughout daily life whether it is lifting groceries out of the car, working in the kitchen or garage, or simply standing and walking. Isawalls exercises were designed to pull in as much core as possible in a way that simulates everyday activities. Resistance machines that work the core do help to strengthen those muscles, but they do so in a controlled way that rarely simulates everyday activities.
Our Fitness Wall Takes Up No Space
In addition to providing functional exercises and utilizing core muscles, Isawall takes up no space. This is a great benefit for seniors for two reasons. First, many seniors tend to downsize living space as they retire and children have moved out. Secondly, for gyms and fitness centers that have seniors as members, multiple Isawalls can be installed that take up no additional space, unlike the large standard workout equipment that most gyms are accustomed to. You won’t be spending additional money on square footage to accommodate Isawall.
It’s New And Exciting
When people walk into a workout facility, seniors are unlikely to get too excited by another chest press or leg extension machine. Isawall is new, innovative, and exciting for seniors to explore. People are naturally intrigued by Isawalls unique appearance and non-conventional exercises. It’s the difference between having another workout routine and an exciting assortment of hundreds of exercises to choose from.
No Maintenance And No Fuss
Isawall has no mechanical moving parts. This means maintenance is virtually non-existent. There are no cables and pulleys to maintain and you’re not going to have to worry about dealing with rusting equipment. Since Isawall has no welding points, you don’t need to be concerned about those points wearing down and cracking, which is true of virtually all resistance equipment over time whether it be residential or commercial.
The last thing you want to do is be on the phone trying to get a replacement part and then finding someone who can come out and fix your problem. Isawalls simple design eliminates the points of breakdown and problems so common in conventional workout equipment. When you purchase Isawall, you are not only investing in a superior workout apparatus, but you are investing in a headache free workout system.
The Best Choice For Seniors All Around
Functional exercises, great core utilization, space efficiency, exciting workouts, and hassle free use make Isawall the ideal choice for seniors.
