VQ ActionCare's Resistance Chair Setting the Bar for Senior Fitness Nationwide

SAN DIEGO, CA, January 19, 2011 (Press-News.org) VQ ActionCare, creator of mature adult fitness and lifestyle equipment, is proud to report that its award-winning product, the Resistance Chair , is attracting attention from fitness clubs and community centers nationwide as their senior members find the portable exercise and rehabilitation system an effective and convenient way to work out. Designed to help mature adults stay active and strong, the Resistance Chair offers a wide range of exercises from a safe, seated position to strengthen muscles, increase mobility, and improve flexibility, balance and endurance.

According to a recent report from the International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association, people 55 and older are the fastest-growing population in the nation's health and fitness clubs. Evidence of this trend can be found at The Jewish Community of Syracuse, New York, where the Resistance Chair is used regularly in a class created specifically for senior members. The Resistance Chair class was an immediate success, becoming so popular that The Jewish Community Center had to increase the number of chairs to 15 to accommodate members, compared to its only seven treadmills.

Personal trainer Richard Portugal of Fitness Senior Style has also acknowledged the senior fitness trend, now incorporating the Resistance Chair into his weekly at-home training sessions with mature adult clients. "The Resistance Chair has provided my clients with visible strength gains, confidence, and exercise knowledge," said Portugal. "The Chair is successful for my clients because it allows for effective exercise for each of their varying fitness levels."

Andrew Siminoff, media director at VQ ActionCare, added, "We're thrilled to see the demand for the Resistance Chair in community centers and fitness clubs around the country. The Resistance Chair is the first and only complete at-home seated fitness and rehabilitation system, exclusively designed for mature adults. It's a vital fitness system to help the aging population achieve all-around better health and these fitness centers are recognizing the need for this type of equipment in their facilities."
