Is outdoor gym equipment safe for older adults?

The equipment is designed for adults of all ages and fitness levels. The machines guide your movement, which reduces the risk of poor form. Start gently, read the instruction panels, and build up gradually. If you have specific health concerns, have a word with your GP before starting any new exercise routine.

What should I wear to use outdoor gym equipment?

Comfortable clothes that allow you to move freely, and trainers or shoes with good grip. In cooler weather, dress in layers so you can adjust as you warm up. A waterproof jacket is always worth having in the North East, even when the forecast looks clear.
