A recent news survey has reported that 57 percent of active seniors seek some form of tool to help manage their aging health concerns.

There are calculators to help control weight or to monitor drug interactions, smart phones with wellness apps, bracelets that give daily feedback on your computer, screening tests that reduce hospital admissions for pre-existing conditions, dining cutlery that aids in controlling Parkinson’s hand tremors, and a multiple number of other high tech items (or toys) designed to help seniors stay active and keep involved.

Companies such as Accel Diagnostics, BiSafe, Lift Labs, Sway Medical, FitBit, and other similar organizations continue their efforts to develop and produce tools which minimize the difficulties that are created by the aging process. Whether you want to monitor the number of steps you take in a day, or manage your sleeping habits; collect information on your breathing and movement; or screen your ability to balance, there are well designed tools ready to assist you.

A.C.T. by Deese in Greensboro acknowledges and applauds the many high tech tools that are currently available for seniors. Many are used on a daily basis as people walk on the treadmill, participate in cardio classes, or take balance training. Some tools even watch personal fitness improvements on iPads while working with a trainer.

The staff of A.C.T. Fitness wants to add its exercise expertise and focus to the list of valuable tools which can immediately help to maximize a senior’s range of activity and broaden their capacity for movement.

A certified trainer is one of the most effective tools to getting a wellness program started. Call A.C.T. By Deese for your personalized free consultation at 336-617-5304.
