Staying active is one of the best things we can do for our health, but this doesn’t mean to say that everyone should be running marathons.
If your loved one finds it tricky to get out and about or be as active as they would like, you may find that the following five products could be just what they need to get moving again.
A pedal exerciser is a great option for low impact exercise. While it isn’t an alternative to a full-size gym exercise bike, it’s brilliant for those who want to gently increase their activity from the comfort of their own chair. They can also set it on a table and use it to exercise their arms as well. The digital display shows how long they’ve been exercising, the calories consumed, and the cycles and revolutions they’ve done per minute.
A kettlebell is a classic piece of fitness equipment. This one has been designed with a better, more comfortable hand grip so it’s less hard on the hand. It can be used indoors or outdoors, at home or in the gym. The 4kg weight comes in a vibrant shade of green and could make a great addition to their fitness routine.
If getting out and about is an issue for them, the NRS 3-wheel Rollator may be just the thing to give them a little extra support and stability while walking. It has a strong steel frame and is height adjustable so it can be set to the right size for them. It comes with a bag, basket, and tray so they can use it to hold small amounts of shopping or personal items as well, freeing them up from the weight of extra bags.
For those who already use a walking stick but find they occasionally need to rest, the Ta-Da Chair could be the answer. This clever device converts from a walking stick to a tripod seat at the touch of a button, giving them a place to rest when they need a break. It comes in three different colours and two different lengths so you can find one to suit their tastes and needs.
Propelling their wheelchair around while they’re out and about can be hard on the hands. These high-quality Leather Wheelchair Gloves have a padded and textured palm for comfort and extra grip while they’re on the move. These gloves are available in three sizes, have a Velcro wrist strap for added comfort and security, and they have looped finger pulls to make it easier to take them off.
