Keeping fit to stay fit!
04/11/2010
The lucky people of Newton Park, Ayrshire can now be seen enjoying a spot of outdoor gym work , having raised sufficient grant funding for the 5 new units recently installed by Glasgow-based play, fitness and sports equipment supplier, Mclays .
The locals are thoroughly enjoying their new fitness regime; since the launch day people are using the Xerscape equipment more and more and some even turn up as early as 7am ~ a great start to the morning! The fitness units are used throughout the day, subject to weather, and everyone is delighted with the al fresco exercise area and the fact that it is free!!
With plenty of encouragement from South Ayrshire council to try for further funding along the way and a general enthusiasm amongst the community to improve facilities in their own local park, this revitalised play area really has turned keeping fit into a fun-filled activity – full of community spirit!
Designed and developed in conjunction with sports and exercise professionals from Staffordshire University, the Xerscape range is enticing folk from all sorts of communities nationwide to get out in the fresh air. The benefits for muscle strengthening and toning and improving general fitness levels are unquestionable. Xerscape is particularly popular with the older age range who realise just how important it is to keep fit in order to stay fit!
