SOLE Fitness' latest piece comes following recent research from the CDC, which found that adults 50 and older should have more regular physical activity in their lives. The data shows that many elderly adults across the US fail to meet the minimum recommended level of activity, with 28% being listed as physically inactive.

In its article, SOLE Fitness presents both stationary bikes and elliptical machines as a beginner-friendly, or "easy" route into fitness, and suggests that they could help older adults to enjoy more regular activity.
The guide examines elliptical machines as an option for low-impact, full-body workouts. It notes that the circular motion of ellipticals resembles natural walking or running movements while reducing the impact on joints - which is beneficial for older adults wanting to maintain cardiovascular fitness while considering joint stress.
Stationary bikes, in contrast, offer a seated position that can reduce lower back strain. In the guide, SOLE Fitness notes that stationary bikes allow for cardio workouts while maintaining a supported posture.
The SOLE E35 elliptical is an example of equipment designed with features that may be relevant to senior users. The guide outlines its adjustable inclines and pre-programmed workouts, but it also has a large display size and built-in heart rate monitors.
For those interested in seated workouts, the guide introduces the SOLE LCR stationary bike, which has a low step-over height suitable for older users.
In addition to bikes and ellipticals, SOLE Fitness offers treadmills and rowing machines - and every equipment purchase includes access to the SOLE+ workout app, which offers video workouts. Users can connect smart devices via Bluetooth while they enjoy their workout.
A spokesperson states: "At SOLE, our range of ellipticals and bikes are designed to meet the highest standards of quality and performance, perfectly suited for seniors at any fitness level. We take pride in offering the best fitness equipment safe enough for seniors to exercise, ensuring their journey toward a healthier lifestyle is both effective and gentle on the joints."
