The calisthenics park includes two parallel galvanized steel bars for exercising hamstrings, abdominal muscles, back, shoulders, chest, biceps, triceps and extensions of wrists and fingers. It will also have two low parallel bars, a triple French push-up bar and a tilted abdominal bench with wooden bars and leg restraint bar. The push bar is composed of three posts and three crossbars and the Freestyle complex is made up of two pull-up bars, a Freestyle bar, four poles and a support rail. This construction exercises the biceps, triceps, shoulder, chest and extension of the forearm and fingers. The multiple complex consists of three explosive pull-up bars, a pull-up bar, a sloping monkey bar, two support rails and a Swedish wall.
There will be an informative poster that includes a training routine for users with recommendations for the use of the equipment.
