Design and promotion of an outdoor gym for older adults: a collaborative project.

Physical activity promotes health andwell being across the life course and is pertinent to Australia’s ageing population. However, more than half of Australian adults are insufficiently active for good health, and this proportion increases with age. Outdoor gyms have become increasingly available in Australia and internationally. Featuring equipment and designs similar to indoor gym equipment, modern outdoor gyms can provide equitable access to aerobic, strength, balance and flexibility exercises, for people of all ages and fitness levels.
