Find the right machine for gentle workouts

With more than 10 million Americans reporting osteoarthritis of the hip, and half a million people getting a hip replacement every year, SOLE Fitness is raising awareness of the preventative benefits of workouts for hip health.

A spokesperson says: "Our treadmills and bikes provide exceptional quality, performance, and comfort for effective yet gentle workouts. Whether for home or gym use, SOLE's solutions ensure those with hip issues can exercise confidently and safely."

Bike or treadmill – which is right for you?

The guide explains that picking between a treadmill and a bike depends on three main factors:

  • how comfortable each machine feels,
  • how serious your existing hip problems are, and
  • what fitness goals you have.

Exercise bikes provide effective cardio workouts without putting stress on your hip joints. The guide points out that recumbent bikes, with their chair-like seats, are particularly good for anyone experiencing hip pain.

SOLE's bike models, including the LCR and R92, have adjustable seats that let you find the right position for your body type, ensuring proper hip movement during exercise and reducing strain on both the joint and surrounding muscles.

Get cutting-edge, supportive technology

If you want to opt for a treadmill, SOLE's F85 and F89 models include the Cushioned Flex Whisper Deck that cuts down impact on legs and hips by up to 40% compared to running outside. The ST90 model uses a slat belt design with interlocking pieces that create a more natural running feel with better grip and stability. SOLE treadmills also have wide 20-inch belts that give you a stable surface.

All SOLE equipment comes with free access to the SOLE+ fitness app, which includes hundreds of workout videos ranging from 10 to 60 minutes, with options for all fitness levels and hip conditions.

Even if you've got bad hips, you can still get a great workout in thanks to SOLE Fitness!
