Outdoor Fitness For Active Seniors

Greenfields provides a unique setting that is both safe and accessible for Active Seniors. Regardless of the level of fitness there is always something that they can find to do â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and socialize at the same time! Fitness has been confined to the gym and indoor equipment for too long, fitness is what happens when folks get moving and get healthy! It cannot be stressed enough how important it is for seniors to retain their strength and flexibility. Greenfields outdoor fitness equipment is designed with that specifically in mind. Numerous seniors have contacted us and reported that their health and strength have improved dramatically after using our equipment, and some were able to stop using walking aids entirely! So imagine how good it is to combine social activities with fitness in the outdoors for our seniors. Getting our seniors outside has its benefits too and includes: reduced risk of anxiety and depression as well as a lowered risk of cancer and other ailments due to a lack of vitamin D. Getting out in the sun isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t about tanning! The sun helps our body to get the vitamin D it needs to stay healthy and absorb calcium and it also helps to improve our mood which benefits our overall health in many ways. Greenfields outdoor fitness equipment is designed to withstand the elements, and is manufactured to resist normal rusting, chipping and it is built to retain its strength for years without the need for lubrication or winterization. In the next few pages, Greenfields will present three packages for Seniors, along with the corresponding user-guide per unit.

Outdoor Fitness For Fighting Cold Virus

Winning the 'cold' war - Exercise seems to protect against the cold virus By Michael Stone, Staff Writer

If probability holds true this fall and winter, Carolyn Batten isn't going to be joining the ranks of Americans immobilized by the common cold. It's been about six years since the Sports Barn East's personal training manager had a seasonal sickness -the flu -- that kept her away from the gym. She's had some "itchy throats" in that time, she said, but she has worked through those and they quickly go away. "There are times in my life in the past that I would have known that itchy throat meant, 'Darn I'm getting sick,'" she said. "But now I don't. That's where I think the level of fitness and the boost in immune system comes in." In her 50s, Batten typically works out on her own at least five times a week, while also exercising with individual clients and group classes. The fact that she exercises regularly and rarely gets sick is "not a coincidence," she said. "I think my body is stronger and able to fight," she said. A new study -- consisting of 1,002 subjects, ranging from 18 to 85 years old, and completed by researchers from Appalachian State University and the University of North Carolina -- validates Batten's hypothesis. It shows that those who work out five or more days a week suffer 43 percent less days of upper respiratory tract infections -- typically a phrase interchangeable with the common cold -- than those who were "largely sedentary." "The most powerful lifestyle weapon that each of us has ... is being physically active," said David Neiman, a human performance professor at Appalachian State and the study's lead researcher. Neiman said that there are other factors that could help combat sickness this winter -- including low mental stress, healthy eating and being older (because the body has built up immunities). Still, he said, exercise tends to trump all other factors. "Everything is multi-factorial," he said. "But, at least in this study, we showed activity is a powerful weapon [in preventing sickness]." Local physicians echoed the study's findings. "There are numerous compelling reasons to exercise year round," said Dr. Stephen Adams, with Erlanger's UT Family Practice, "and improved immune system function is just one of the benefits." Parkridge's Dr. Akberet Hadgu said that regular exercise generally "favorably impacts multiple systems and health outcomes." Hadgu cautioned that if you're going to exercise outside this winter, bundle up, stay hydrated and avoid extreme cold. Cold weather and little free time may be two things that could discourage people from working out this winter, Neiman said, but the benefits are too abundant to overlook. "Exercise is like a pill -- it's like medicine," he said. "If this thing could be captured into one pill, people would probably pay $100 a pill." November 11, 2010
