the value of our residents maintaining
their community attachments, hobbies

support and companionship is there if
they need it.

private units sit in landscaped grounds

purpose-built eighty-one bed rest home

Winter Warmer - Hot tips
for cold weather
Does that nip in the air make it hard
to get moving? What better way to warm
yourself than getting the blood pumping to
warm up on the inside.
The less active we are, the more we feel the
cold. But it’s easy to warm hands and feet by
working muscles and joints while staying dry
and warm in front of tV.
The aircycle exerciser is an indoor warmer
which gets your circulation going in no time.
The movement is a gentle awakening for
sleepy muscles and joints, warms and loosens
them to ease them into action.
tight, cold muscles mean decreased
mobility and are more prone to injury.
imagine putting a rubber band in the freezer
and then trying to stretch it over a large box.
it snaps. But warm the rubber band slowly
and it will stretch to take the force of your
pull. That band is like your muscles in winter.
it is unnecessary to use the aircycle for
lengthy periods. short, frequent spells
throughout the day and evening are most
effective. a few minutes while sitting with
a coffee or chatting on the phone will keep
blood circulating and feet and hands warm.
a good warm up keeps the body running
like a well oiled machine. Mrs spier wrote, “i
have arthritis and joint problems. When i’ve
been using the aircycle i feel as though i’ve
had a good lube. My joints are more flexible
and i can garden more easily.”
aircycles are available in pharmacies, at
www.aircycle.co.nz, call 04 569 5013 or post
