Physical inactivity

According to he World Health Organisation, physical inactivity is the 4th biggest killer in the world. This inactivity is having a dramatic impact on accelerating lifestyle related issues like obesity, diabetes and heart disease.

INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION

The importance of movement

If exercise came in tablet form, we would only be too eager to take our keep-fit medicine. Movement is medicine! Even small doses extend longevity and can prevent and treat diseases.

Did you know…

One in four adults worldwide do not meet the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommendations on physical activity.

“Adults should do at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity throughout the week.” - WHO

Increasing obesity levels

The impact of this inactivity is that obesity is increasing at a rapid rate in most EU Member States. It’s estimated that 52.7% of the adult population (aged 18 and over) was overweight (2019).

How do I choose the right gym equipment?

Choosing the right mix of products is probably the most important decision you’ll make when purchasing an outdoor fitness area. We’ve split our products into 5 simple categories so you can easily pick equipment that meets your requirements and user needs:

• Cardio

• Strength

• Balance

• Flexibility

• Multi-Fit

CARDIO for your heart & lungs

Helps to strengthen your heart and lungs. It helps with weight management, reduces body fat, improves mood and energy. Cardio training improves your fitness and stamina.

STRENGTH for your muscles & bones

BALANCE to help with coordination

FLEXIBILITY to improve movement

MULTI-GYM

For a total body workout

Helps you feel stronger by increasing your lean muscle mass. It helps to manage weight by increasing your metabolism so you burn more calories. It also increases bone density by putting controlled stress on your bones.

Having good balance is crucial for many daily activities, such as walking, going up and down the stairs. Exercises that improve balance can help prevent falls, improve stability and coordination.

It increases your range of movement and makes it easier to perform exercises and daily activities e.g. reaching for the top shelf. Better flexibility reduces the risk or injury. It even leads to a better overall body ‘shape’.

From calisthenics to cross training, a HAGS Multi-Gym is for users who want exceptional results. Increased calorie burn and muscle mass as well as some opportunity for flexibility training.
