Gymnastics Circuits

TO IMPROVE PEOPLE'S PHYSICAL CONDITION

Doing regular, systematic physical exercise helps you to acquire good physical health and habits that are essential for feeling good and improving your quality of life. To that end, there are various gymnastic circuits in the city with outdoor apparatus installations specially designed for physical exercise and callisthenics. This is a free, open-access service that offers everyone the chance to do sport at any time of day, with the freedom to design your own exercise routines.

You should wear comfortable clothes and sports shoes, hydrate frequently and protect yourself from the sun during the hotter months.

FOR SENIOR CITIZENS

Barcelona has a total of 36 gymnastic circuits especially designed to promote the health of senior citizens, help them to maintain physical activity that is suitable for their condition and foster the habit of moving around and doing regular physical exercise. The installations are designed so that people can conserve their balance, gain elasticity, prevent repetitive falls and improve their possibilities of doing certain movements that are necessary for carrying out everyday activities.

Sessions on the gymnastic and leisure circuits for senior citizens provide the following benefits:

•    Improves physical capability: balance, joint mobility and postural control.
•    Increases autonomy for doing physical activities.
•    Improves state of health.

Anyone can take part, but it is especially recommended for people over the age of 55 or people with reduced mobility.
You should wear comfortable clothes and sports shoes, hydrate frequently and protect yourself from the sun during the hotter months.
