Working Out in a Green Gym


Today, I had my first circuit training session. The concept is very similar to Curves. This is a way to get and stay fit with a minimum of time and effort. There are about 15 stations and the object is to do two or three circuits spending about 30 seconds at each station. With a warm up, quick stretch and cool down, it should take less than an hour.

The best part, besides being free, is that you can work out in a park setting in the fresh air with birds singing and today, at least, the smell of new mown grass.

Green Gyms are a Canadian creation found mostly in parks back east. The town received funding through the GVRD and Participaction to install this equipment in our park. You can learn more about this company at http://www.greengym.ca/Aboutus.html
