Parc NDG 20-10-11

Our first real exercise day. It had rained all day, and was drizzling for most of the time we were out. Nevertheless, it was a great time.

There are two playgrounds here, apparently aimed at different age-groups. The larger playground is where most of the fun and good exercise is to be had. The climbers are large and have a nice variety of ascents and descents, and there are some good action toys including one spinning toy that involves standing on one angled wheel while gripping another one overhead, and another spinning toy consisting of two hoops stacked on end.

As I'm trying to describe this equipment, I'm lamenting the lack of photos or video from this run, but as I said, it was raining. The rain also kept us from doing a lot of activities we were interested in, simply because it made everything slippery.

Exercises:
- Warm-up run
- Stretches
- Several adventure routes on the climbers (mostly larger playground)
- Team spring-teeter-totter (smaller playground)
- Team spinning on two-hooped spinner (larger playground)
- Individual spinning on standing wheels (larger playground)
- Pull-overs (smaller swingsets)
- Pull-throughs (larger playground)
- Capoeira kicks

Overall workout rating:6/10
Overall fun rating: 7/10
Overall playground rating: 6/10
