Mikes Verdict
If I could only recommend one piece of exercise equipment for the over 50’s, this would probably be it. Brilliant for strength, balance and core stability.
Expensive but you’ll use it for years.
THERABAND Resistance Bands Set
- 4 LEVELS OF RESISTANCE FOR ANY WORKOUT: Includes four 12″ resistance loop bands in progressive levels; ideal for strength training, stretching, mobility, and full-body workouts at home or in the gym
- WIDE, COMFORTABLE DESIGN THAT STAYS IN PLACE: Each band measures approx. 12″ long and 3″ wide; wider loops offer a stable fit and reduce rolling or pinching during use for smoother workouts
Mikes Verdict
These are the bands that most Physio’s actually use. They last for years, their resistance is accurate. They’re far better than the £8 versions of them on Amazon.
Fitbeast Fabric Resistance Loops
- 𝗠𝗨𝗟𝗧𝗜𝗣𝗟𝗘 𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗠𝗘𝗧𝗛𝗢𝗗𝗦, 𝗔𝗡𝗧𝗜-𝗣𝗔𝗜𝗡 𝗚𝗥𝗜𝗣 𝗣𝗔𝗗𝗦 — The pull up assist bands set comes with 5 different color straps and levels, each loop offers 208Cm and clearly marked 5-15LB, 15-35LB, 30-60LB, 40-80LB, 50-125LB. Combined with the door buckle, whether you choose single or combined to exercise, it can meet your various training needs. We designed the hands grip pad to effectively prevent the pain of the hands during training.
Mikes Verdict
A luxury purchase rather than a necessity. It feels fantastic after the gym or a long walk, but don’t expect it to “fix” an injury.

Mikes Verdict
A luxury purchase rather than a necessity. It feels fantastic after the gym or a long walk, but don’t expect it to “fix” an injury.

The three-part pole is just 66cm long when folded and thus fits in almost any suitcase or backpack. It features the new Nordic Shark, a perfect grip-strap technology designed for the Nordic disciplines. With the new grip, you can enjoy precise guidance, control, and power transmission during your workouts, allowing you to train effectively. Thanks to the reliable Speed Lock 2 plus locking system, the pole can be set to the right length in a flash.
Mikes Verdict
If walking hurts, Hyperice this can be a game changer. They reduce joint loading and make longer walks more achievable. This one also folds for travelling.
Walking and Mobility
HOKA Bondi Walking Shoes
With a line historically known for comfort and cushioning technology, the Bondi 9 will be no exception. The combination of advanced design, premium materials, and performance enhancements promises to appeal to both marathon runners and recreational runners. These running shoes will not only seek to offer a better running experience, but will also set new benchmarks for athletic footwear design and functionality.
Mikes Verdict
If someone asked me for one walking shoe for painful feet, sore knees or arthritis, this would probably be my first recommendation. The cushioning is outstanding, they’re incredibly comfortable and they encourage people to keep walking. They aren’t cheap but worth every penny if walking has become uncomfortable.
Brooks Addiction Walker 2
Maximum Support: Our Extended Progressive Diagonal Rollbar (Pdrb) Is A Support System For Your Entire Body, Guiding And Keeping Your Body In Its Natural Path Of Motion.
Slip-Resistant: An Innovative Outsole That’S Been Certified (Satra Tm144:2011) For Slip Resistance Provides Excellent Traction.
Mikes Verdict
If you prefer a shoe with a little more support than the HOKA then this is an excellent choice. They are particularly god for people who spend hours on their feet at work or want a supportive walking shoe rather than a soft running trainer

Mikes Verdict
One of the simplest products I recommend. Roll your foot over it for a couple of minutes every day and it can really help with tight arches, plantar fasciitis and tired feet after a long walk. Small, inexpensive and genuinely useful.
Knee and Hip Pain
