When is exercise important in health care?

People are encouraged to remain fit throughout their lifetimes through regular exercise. Whether maintaining your habit of a lifetime, or embarking on a fitness regimen for the first time in many years, benefits include both physical and psychological outcomes.

Exercise is increasingly recognized as important in the prevention and treatment of many common health conditions such as COPD, cancer, obesity and diabetes. A regular exercise routine can aid many chronic health conditions such as cardio-respiratory illnesses, musculoskeletal disorders and neurological disorders.

Exercise also plays a role in pre- and post-surgical fitness, and can facilitate a speedy recovery from many types of surgery. Regular exercise is also important in the recovery from many types of injury, and in occupational rehabilitation.

Why not exercise at home? Body Solid offers many high quality choices of exercise machines perfect for home use. As always, consult your physician, surgeon and/or occupational therapist before embarking on any exercise routine.

What can be accomplished by exercising at home?

There are many trigger events that prompt a home exercise regimen. Whether recovering from illness or injury, or simply wanting to live a happier, healthier life gets you started, there are many fitness goals you can attain through home exercise.

• General Fitness – improve overall health, strength and sense of well being
• Flexibility of muscles and joints, improved range of motion
• Interval Training for improved sports performance
• Weight Loss – that can be sustained
• Rehabilitation to return the body to pre-injury or pre-illness levels, or improved condition, operation and capacity
• Performance and endurance for many sports
• Strength building (resistance training) for improved muscle and tendon strength
• Cardiovascular training for general good health and endurance
• Stress relief through regular exercise

Body Solid offers exercise equipment for home use to aid in strengthening and toning all of the major muscle groups: Arms – Chest – Core – Legs – Back – Glutes.

What if weight loss is the goal?

Diet alone is not the ideal approach to weight loss, although good dietary habits are certainly a key factor in your overall health. Combine diet and exercise, and you have the most effective method of weight loss available. Cardiovascular and strength training burn calories during a training session. Increased muscle mass from strength training continues the calorie burning process long after the workout is over, improving your body’s metabolism.

Better metabolism means more calories burned while going about your daily routines. Simply stated, exercise is the best weight loss method available. Being fit helps you feel better, look better, become stronger and live a healthier life.

What types of home use exercise equipment are available from Body Solid?

A comprehensive array of fitness equipment is available for home use, from multi-function exercise stations or gyms to single-focus machines such as “ab boards” or incline/decline benches.

Continued strength and flexibility training are essential to improved health. There are machines available for strength training, as well as equipment focused on stretching, flexibility and balance training.

Functional Trainers are one class of exercise machine available that focuses exercise on joint mobility, stability, more efficient motor patterns and range of motion. With origins in rehabilitation, functional training involves training the body for the activities performed in daily life.

Single- or multi-stack gyms provide the ability to combine many exercise apparatuses in a single “tower” configuration. Some of them offer as many as 40 toning, trimming and strength training exercises with multiple stations in a single tower so several people can work out simultaneously.

Also available are accessories like racks specially designed to organize and store dumbbells or medicine balls you may have obtained over the years. Appropriate options exist to meet every person’s needs for home exercise equipment.

Body Solid and Rehabmart offer home exercise equipment that will meet your requirements and help you achieve your fitness goals. Many of the products qualify for the Rehabmart Price Match guarantee, and excellent warranties are offered by product label.
