Strength exercise equipment is definitely not suitable for the elderly, and aerobic exercise equipment is most suitable for the elderly, but the treadmill exercise is too intense, especially for ankles and knees, so I suggest you buy an exercise bike or elliptical machine for the elderly, which can not only exercise, but also be safe, and the elderly can get up by themselves at home.

Therefore, every kind of fitness equipment in residential quarters has its exercise purpose. Proper performance can improve the energy and flexibility of the whole body muscles, improve the ability to balance work, and improve the heart function and operational flexibility. However, every kind of fitness equipment has a "minefield" for some special groups. At this time, we should pay attention to avoid this "danger zone" and choose a new project that suits us.

Don't let the spacewalkers sway too much. The spacewalker is the most popular fitness equipment. Because many people think it's fun, you don't have to use too much force, and it's comfortable to swing around. But it is very easy to scratch the psoas muscle. Therefore, when the elderly are doing "spacewalk", it is best to swing their legs for 45o, and the frequency is best for 3 ~ 4 seconds at a time.

Hip osteomalacia group, don't play with pedals. This instrument is mainly used to exercise the strength of legs and waist, but it is not suitable for these elderly people with osteomalacia of hip joint. Because it is easy to damage extensor muscles, it further aggravates the original disease.

Don't move the exercise machine if there is disc herniation. In fact, this kind of fitness exercise is very suitable for those who often strain their muscles in front of the computer, neck muscles and waist muscles. However, if the disease has developed to disc herniation, don't choose this kind of instrument, because the spine is definitely unable to withstand the "tossing" of the riding machine.

The effect of upper arm traction is similar to that of medical institutions receiving traction treatment, which has advantages in the traction of whole body muscles and the prevention of disc herniation. However, it is suggested that these elderly people with insufficient physical strength should try not to do this kind of fitness exercise. To test your hand strength, you can take whether you can do pull-ups as a norm. If the elderly can't even do a pull-up, it's best to choose other stretching exercises.
