Problem
Where can you exercise for free if you haven't the time and money for an indoor gym? Or maybe you just want a change? Or maybe you ate too much and feel the need for some exercise?
Around the world, the trend is to add exercise areas for adults.
For example, in London's parks in England, exercise equipment is in places such as Harrow.
In Singapore, I recently saw a man exercising on equipment near Little India MRT station. The MRT has numerous exits. You'd get some exercise marching from one exit to the next.
However, if you want outdoor exercise with a view of the sky and street, this one is on Buffalo Road.
The children's area is colourful, like the old renovated shophouses behind.
Your choices are:
Public parks and spaces
HDB (public housing blocks if you or a friend live in one).
Private housing complexes. (We were in a block several weeks before we discovered an exercise area the other end of our large complex - and another in an HDB complex which was on the way to the MRT and to which we had access.)
