Photo Hunt: Play
By JG
At the park near my house, next to the children’s playground, there is an adult playground full of outdoor exercise equipment. I’ve tried out most of these contraptions and they are fun! But then, I consider exercise play.
This shoulder press uses your own body weight as resistance.
This is like the elliptical machines at the gym, only without the motor and high tech readings. Bring your own heart monitor!
This is an air walker — cardio with no impact! It’s very fun, and as you can see, it has two different leg lengths.
This is a two-person cross country machine.
This one is a leg press. Again, it uses your own body weight. You can work out with a buddy.
Most of the equipment has instructions. They are made by a company called Greenfields Outdoor Fitness, and I think they are an awesome addition to my local park!

I enjoy coming across exercise equipment for adults in parks and frequently am unable to resist trying them out.

that is a brilliant idea!
Although… I still wouldn’t be convinced it is playing
Thanks for Playing The Saturday PhotoHunt.

Stuff like this should be in every park around North America.

I always use elliptical machines and treadmills during my exercise routine.
