The Top 5 Fitness Accessories For Over 50s

As you grow older and wiser, it can be hard to know how or why you should keep exercising. However, as we spoke about in our previous blog post, exercise is still a really important aspect of life, no matter how old you are.

There is a reverent tonne of different ways that you can exercise, but today, we are going to look at the top 5 accessories that can help you stay in shape and keep fit after your 50th birthday! There are so many different options out there that it can be hard to know where to start. However, these fitness accessories for over 50s are a great place to begin!

Eggsercizer

It’s surprisingly common to have weakened or injured hands, or even fingers and arm muscles. The Eggsercizer is built and designed to combat exactly these problems. Comfortable and ergonomic, it fits perfectly in your hand and be used to both exercise your hands and arms, or to relieve stress.

The Eggsercizer was even featured in the Daily Mail, showing just how impressive this little rubber egg is and what it can do for you!

Knead-A-Ball Hand Exerciser

Similar to the Eggsercize, the Knead-A-Ball Hand Exerciser is brilliantly designed to help improve the strength of your fingers and hand. Made out of foam rather than rubber, it isn’t quite as durable as the Eggsercizer but is still a great accessory to help improve muscle strength in your hands.

It also doubles are a great stress ball, fitting into your palm due to its diameter of just 6cm!

Rolyan Resistive Exercise Band

These exercise bands give you a smooth and progressive amount of resistance, perfectly designed to help build up the strength of your muscles. This, in turn, helps to keep your body active.

With local recoil built into the Rolyan Resistive Exercise Band, you won’t suffer from any jerk back, meaning that you can exercise in comfort. Starting with a light resistance band is highly recommended as it will help you build up your strength, gradually moving on to the heavier bands as you go.

Pedal Exerciser

Keeping your legs active is incredibly important as it helps both your mobility and blood flow. That’s where accessories like the Pedal Exerciser comes in to play. A very simple and quaint little device, you’ll be able to get it set up and good to go within minutes!

  • Ordered a folding shower seat with 2 grab bars in the morning and these were delivered to me in the afternoon of the same day - that is what I call service. However the following day a further 2 Grab Bars were delivered and the co said that they would collect these the same day - still waiting after 1 week and another call - not so good and still waiting. A point that the co should consider is that we are finding it difficult to get someone to fit the shower seat and they are unable to provide any guidance or help. would suggest that they collect names and telephone numbers of local tradesmen who are trusted to fit their mobility equipment and provide guidance on fitting

  • Called into the shop for a shower chair for an elderly relative. The staff were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. They didn't have the one I needed so I was offered the option of ordering in store or online. I ordered on line and the chair was delivered 2 days later. Fabulous service.I would recommend the Mobility Aids Centre. Thank you!

  • Fantastic service, I order a Bathmaster Deltis bath chair lift on the 18/08/2015 and using the standard delivery system it was delivered to my house the following day. The chair works very well, it comes packed in the manufactures original box, battery ready charged for instantaneous use and at a very competitive price. Very good performance all round.

  • I was looking for a buggy for adults and the one I purchased named Troy. was excellent, I can put it up & down in seconds. The wheels are superbly easy to turn with. My husband says it is very comfortable and the black leather with red piping is very smart. When folded up there is a padded grip in the middle of the frame, which is perfectly balanced to lift it in and out of cars etc. a wonderfully strong but light wheelchair.
