Outdoor exercise equipment

There are numerous areas in Alicante that have  outside exercise equipment. There is a concept here of promoting fitness using outdoor exercise equipment. We see the equipment in almost every park we walk by.  There are even some outdoor exercise equipment on the walkways right in the heart of the Alicante business area. It is not uncommon the see some people using the equipment, especially on the weekends.

A while back we were walking through the Palmeral park and came across a section of the park that had outdoor exercise equipment. We decided to try it out and get a bit of a workout.

All of the equipment is designed to use a person’s weight as the resistance for the workout.

After the quick test of the equipment Shelley took a well deserved break.

People here enjoy the outdoors and we can see why they like to exercise outside. The weather here is conducive to having outdoor exercise equipment.  There is no need for a membership at a gym when you can simply walk to the local park and work out.
