Get control of your health and your life...
Pelleres are the perfect training device for everyday living. Not just for elite athletes and weekend warriors Pelleres can improve your health and quality of life.
Improving your core stability will not only reduce the risk of injury but if you are injured, reduce recovery time. Consult your treating practitioner before commencing any exercise program.
Pelleres are designed to fit into your lifestyle and your exercise regime. The unique (award winning) design specifically targets core stabilizer muscles and can be used in a low impact environment.
Ageing is accompanied by a number of physiological changes. Of these it has been said the loss of muscle mass is the most predicable and most preventable; between 20 and 80 years of age individuals can expect up to a 50% loss in muscle strength. The impact of which is a decreased ability with day to day tasks, increased postural sway, decreased balance confidence, and an increased susceptibility to falls.
For some older adults a bad fall is the event that ensures their transition to dependent care. Exercise has been proven to be an effective means to counter the loss of muscle strength with a lot of older adults embracing walking as their preferred activity. However, often walking alone is an insufficient stimulus to prevent the broad range of muscle changes experienced with normal ageing.
In line with the overload principle for improved muscular performance Pelleres has an important influence on core stability for the older adult.
The impact of improved core stability and strength reduces postural sway and decreases the susceptibility to falls. In addition, the increased upper-body loading leads to improvements in shoulders and arms muscle quality - muscles often neglected with the average walking program.
With four (4) weights, from a low-intensity 200g to the highest intensity 750g, this allows for program progression for the individuals, an essential component to continued improvement.
Pelleres can easily be introduced into any training program with very little, if any, entry barriers. For example combining simple overhead single or double arm/shoulder presses or shrugging activities, exercises commonly encountered during a 60 plus and Better program, increases the muscle challenge and leads to excellent gains.
The extra loading increases the respiratory demand for exercise and offers significant cardiorespiratory improvements.
