OUTDOOR FITNESS FOR YOUNG AND OLD
playfit®: A gentle outdoor exercise schedule – soft fitness
We all know how important it is to stay active and keep fit – for adults, young people and seniors alike. There are enormous benefits from doing regular exercises – e.g. your muscles and joints are kept healthy. Exercise is good for co-ordination, mobility and core-stability. It also has a role in preventing falls amongst older people.
Our equipment can be used intuitively and offers an innovative workout schedule. It is fun to use and even couch-potatoes can be motivated to go out of doors regularly and actually do something to keep fit in the fresh air.
playfit® equipment combines exercise routines and massage and using it is stress-free;
it allows you to do simple exercises at your own pace.
In other words, it is a very simple way to improve circulation, mobility and co-ordination. With some of the equipment models you can massage your arms and legs, your back to fitness equipment overview and the palms of your hands – comfortably and easily.
Exercising with playfit® helps keep your muscles supple.

BRINGING MODERN DESIGN AND TRADITIONAL FAR EASTERN EXERCISING METHODS INTO HARMONY
playfit® combines the best of both worlds
For many years now, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been recognized as complementing many forms of western methods of medical treatment. As such, TCM is already accepted standard practice for health service providers in many countries all over the world. Certain TCM exercising methods place great emphasis on improving body co-ordination. playfit® equipment is a modern way of putting into practice exercising methods which have been tried-and-tested over centuries. The gentle exercises are based on tai chi and qigong, which also involves a set of breathing and movement exercises, with benefits to health through stress reduction and body exercises.
playfit® took part as a sponsor at the national conference for public and private enterprises actively involved in the health sector which was held in Warnemuende, Germany in July 2008 (4. Nationale Branchenkonferenz Gesundheitswirtschaft).
Many participants and visitors were clearly impressed by the potentially beneficial effects to be derived from using our equipment, especially for elderly people.
