LifeTrail® Outdoor Fitness Equipment


life play ireland's LifeTrail® outdoor fitness equipment consists of a series of outdoor Wellness Stations designed specifically to meet the needs of the active older adult.

Comprised of a series of ten outdoor Wellness Stations™ configured along a walking path, LifeTrail® combines the benefits of walking with a variety of other outdoor physical fitness activities.

Over the next few decades, the population of older adults will increase and life expectancy will continue to expand. New ways of staying healthy and maintaining maximum levels of wellness and independence are becoming increasingly important. The significance of physical activity in this pursuit is paramount.

A concept built on trust and research
Playworld Systems, an internationally recognized leader in the creation of outdoor fitness equipment, developed LifeTrail® in tandem with gerontology, kinesiology and recreation experts from Penn State University. For over 30 years customers have placed their trust in Playworld Systems to design and produce recreation equipment.

 

The premise is simple
Research shows that the most common and preferred physical activity of older adults is walking, so activities such as the bench stepper and forearm rolls of LifeTrail® provide a perfect complement to any walking routine.

A Revolutionary Approach to Fitness for Older Adults

As people age, they are more susceptible to health challenges. But adults who remain active are able to keep or maintain strong heart muscles, lower their blood pressure and enjoy better mental and emotional well-being. LifeTrail’s outdoor fitness equipment is designed with the aging individual’s physical limitations in mind.
 
Promotes Social Activity
Research shows that the most common and preferred physical activity of older adults is walking, so the activities of LifeTrail provide a perfect complement to any walking routine. Because the LifeTrail stations create stopping points along the way, they also become social mini-hubs where users can exercise alongside friends or meet new acquaintances as they work out. Social interaction is as important as exercise to the individual’s total wellness.
