Playground

26 May 2010 - London has opened its first exercise playground for older people, with specially designed equipment to help the city's ageing baby-boomers stay fit. Organizers say people lined up at central London's Hyde park to use the equipment, which includes a sit-up bench, a cross trainer, and a stationary bicycle. The playground is aimed at people over 60, although the gentle exercise also helps patients recovering from operations. Interestingly, this was news in London, but in Hong Kong there are lots of elderly doing their exercises in the parks every morning - year after year. Nothing new about it.
