The Salamanca City Council has added Villar y Macías Park to its physical exercise program in biosaludable parks. This initiative allows citizens to perform guided outdoor routines using calisthenics modules and low-impact machines. The new location aims to expand the free sports offering in different neighborhoods of the city.
How the outdoor training system works 🏋️
The program relies on QR codes installed on the modules. By scanning them with a mobile phone, users access instructional videos and exercise tables designed by municipal technicians. The parks feature abdominal benches, ellipticals, and pull-up bars, all made of galvanized steel to withstand the elements. The routines are adapted to different fitness levels.
The perfect excuse to skip the gym 😅
Now, instead of leaving 40 euros a month at a gym, you can sweat buckets next to a machine that smells like bird droppings. Sure, the QR will tell you how to do the exercise, but it won't stop a dog from stealing your water bottle. At least, if you get injured, there's a nearby bench to sit on and complain while looking at your phone.
