Turn back the clock with regular exercise
Cardio training is a complete stress reliever. It's a fact: regularly doing cardio training has a lot of positive effects on your health. An endurance sport will help you to slim down and tone up, reducing the risk of cardiovascular problems and diabetes, and even improving your mood. Cardio can also effectively limit bad cholesterol when combined with a healthy diet.
Our YOSUDA exercise bike enables users of all ages to enjoy benefits including: improved mobility; stronger bones; better balance and coordination; and a healthier heart. However, for seniors in particular, an exercise bike is a must have addition to your home or apartment. Seniors can reap other important benefits from regular physical activity, which is the best way to maintain muscle mass, as well as bone density. This is so essential to people over 50, whose muscle mass tends to decrease while bones become more fragile, especially due to osteoporosis. We know today that to strengthen your bones, it's not enough to simply take calcium supplements. You also need to exercise regularly!
Working out with the YOSUDA exercise bike helps to maintain or even improve joint mobility, delay development of joint disorders, and stimulate strengthening of your ligaments and tendons. It's the key to staying mobile and pain-free.
Exercise bikes: get the most from your workout
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that people over 65 perform 150 minutes of moderate-intensity endurance activity or half that for a higher-intensity workout per week. This is the best way for seniors to remain independent and without the need to move into an assisted care home.
For seniors who have kept up their routine over the years, this recommendation is easy to follow. For those who have gradually become more sedentary, it may be a little frightening to start up an exercise regimen again. But YOSUDA exercise bikes make exercising fun.
If you want to exercise at home, an exercise bike will help you enjoy all the benefits of a sports activity in the comfort of your home, conforming to your schedule. This makes it easier for you to spread 150 minutes of activity throughout the week – in daily 30-minute sessions, for example. The exercise bike is a very versatile device that you can use regardless of your age and skill level. Unlike many athletic activities; an exercise bike's resistance is easy on joints and provides minimum impact, making it safe for seniors. You can precisely adjust the machine's resistance, adapting it to beginners as well as serious athletes. This will help you regain confidence in your training abilities and staying fit while minimizing injury risks.
Saddle up on an exercise bike
When you start exercising again after a period of inactivity, whether you're a senior or not, you need to take some precautions based on your individual situation. More than your age, it's your level of athleticism, and the length of your sedentary lifestyle that are major factors.
Ideally, before starting on a training programme, seniors should get a complete medical checkup. If you're a total beginner, ask for some tips before starting on an exercise bike.
When it comes to choosing an exercise bike for seniors, durability and comfort are key factors. Seniors are generally more "fragile", especially when they are sedentary. To avoid injury risk, seniors need to choose a quality, reliable, and comfortable exercise bike that will keep them engaged in their routine over the long term.
