A Gymstick program can provide overall health benefits for older adults

As we age, it becomes increasingly important to maintain an active lifestyle to support our overall health and wellbeing. However, many traditional exercise programs may need to be more suitable and safe for older adults, who often have unique physical limitations and requirements. In response to this need, Gymstick has developed an Older Adult education program to provide trainers and healthcare professionals with the knowledge and tools to create tailored exercise programs for their clients. With the Gymstick, trainers can deliver safe, effective, and engaging workouts that promote strength, mobility, and overall health for older adults.

Hundreds of movements with multi-directional resistance

The Gymstick offers full-body resistance training, allowing hundreds of movements and variations, replicating free weight exercises. However, unlike free weights, which introduce load downward due to gravity, Gymstick provides resistance in virtually any desired direction and position.

Improves joint strength & stability

Gymstick also has attachment points to either side of the body’s centre of gravity. The more the bands stretch, the greater the challenge on the body’s musculature to maintain a stable trunk position, which ensures the body’s core is effectively ‘switched on’ during even the most basic exercises. The instability created by these co-dependent levers also helps to improve joint strength and stability.

More eccentric control is required to complete a movement effectively with the Gymstick (than with free weights), which increases the pre-loading necessary for effective concentric muscle action, which assists in maintaining tendon integrity and reduces the risk of injury.
