Cool, basic outdoor gym area near my house; Is it enough!?

[writeletters014]

@jharrod84 I almost put something like this in my yard to have an outdoor gym space. Nylon straps, plastic rings, you’d be all set.

@jharrod84 Definitely enough to get a good workout.

It has pull up bars for pull ups ... obviously. You could also do hanging knee/leg raises.

It has parallel bars for dips. You could also do inverted rows from them.

You can do push ups anywhere on the ground.

I assume the angled bar with the numbers is for jumps?

The elevated round platforms would be great for something like step ups or elevated pistol squats. Or box jumps.

Looks cool!

@jharrod84 When you said vertical monkey bars. I thought you were talking about a ladder at first lol

 

[jharrod84]

@unenciaces1983 I didn't get a picture of it, but there is a ladder like thingy. I'll upload at some point b/c I don't know what to use it for.

@jharrod84 What’s the pole with stools for?

 

[jharrod84]

@stevent I'm wondering the same thing.

@jharrod84 I would love an outdoor gym, but here in my part of the US. Its usually 90F and hot/humid in the summer, or snowy and freezing in the winter. It kills the motivation. So I just made one inside my house.

@jharrod84 yep. Just buying rings, resistance bands(for warm-up and progressions) and maybe some handles/small paralletes would be 10/10

@jharrod84 It would be so cool to workout there

@jharrod84 Absolutely. I usually feel that I can complete a solid body weight fitness routine as long as I have access to a bar like you're talking about. You also have dip bars there to do things. I would say you're more than set. When I was really hitting the body-weight stuff, I just purchased a pull-up bar and I was able to do everything I needed with just that. It's nice if you can add rings or if you want to add a weighted vest or just weights in general, but what you said you have access to will for sure get you started and in good shape.

@jharrod84 Buy a pair of rings and you're set

@jharrod84 Very cool.

@jharrod84 it is more than enough, the amazing thing about calisthenics is that you only need little to none equipment and having and outdoors gym is just perfect for calisthenics the only your going to need to get a bit of extra weight when you advance

 

[dawn16]

@jharrod84 Dude straight up just a bar is enough. Get some rings and you can do pretty much any exercise. Of course the added stuff like parallel bars are great.

@jharrod84 Absolutely, I WISH I had this near me!
