Park Gyms

Monday, 16 May 2011

I was at a park in North London playing basketball when i noticed a new addition a "Park Gym"
I haven't had the chance to use one of these before and shows local councils are putting money where its needed (some times) :)
This has given the local community a chance to have a go at getting fit in their own space! OK a park is more public than any gym but there is no monthly membership and your stereotypical gym users!!

The equipment was adequate all machines acting on body weight so if it was a quick pump or a full on workout these facilities have something for you!!
Here are some pictures of the equipment after i will talk about what type of workouts you can use with these to help you get the body you want!!
A Little bit of a example of what you can do for a quick fat burning boost!!

Sit-Up Bench (you may want to use a couple of towels for padding)

Cross trainer (Very good warm up or main cardio workout)

Pull Down Machine (The seat actually lifts as you pull on the handles meaning you will be lifting your own body weight. They have been built with a very good pulley system to that even someone that hasn't had any exercise experience could incorporate some sets into their workout.

Squat Machine ( very different from what I've ever seen before as you extend your legs the seat rises taking your body weight into the legs but also has the seat to ensure you don't fall which also makes it as easy or hard as you like)

Oblique and Core Swing (very good oblique activation and core strengthening action)

Running Machine/ cardio Machine

As you can see there could be a lot of exercises that could be mixed in with this equipment here is an example work out i would give to clients for this sort of environment for a total body fat burning blits!!

Remember to have been checked by your GP before you under take any workout regime oh and HAND SANITIZER is a must remember this is in a public park!
