Hey Everyone,
The outdoor gym is a gym built outside in a public park, with the all-weather construction of its exercise machines somewhat modeled on playground equipment. It is similar to the 1960s-70s proliferation of fitness trails, which continue to be created particularly in the USA and Europe. In some instances, trails used for fitness are referred to as outdoor gyms.
Outdoor gyms have been used in China as a national fitness campaign prior to the 2008 Summer Olympics. The government has rolled out over 20,000,000 square meters (220,000,000 sq ft) of outdoor gymnasiums across China Currently a third of the sports lottery is dedicated to funding this concept. In China they have a similar survey to the Active People Survey. The participation levels in physical activity have been steadily on the increase since the outdoor gym concept has been introduced to China
I put to you the request for the council to build an outdoor gym in Cook Park, Ramsgate. As stated above the outdoor gym will not only save you money but has been proven to increase fitness levels. I think we have all seen the amount of people running and exercising along Ramsgate beach and I know you will agree that this outdoor gym will be used to its full potential . So please sign below so we can get this under way!
