Transforming Passive Recreation Benches into Active Recreation Equipment

Transform Passive Recreation Benches into Active Recreation Benches
Passive rercreation benches can also double as active recreation fitness equipment. Most people don't know this and need ito be told this fact. By posting instructions behind benches, we can transform our benches to active recreation equipment.

 
Above, we placed a graphic showing Park Bench pushups at Canoe Park in Hell's Kitchen. A few minutes after taking the above picture we were passing by Penn South Playground and found these 3 people doing park bench pushups.



 
We let them know that Nancy Bruning who works out of northern Manhattan's Fort Tyrone Park has create a system of 101 park bench exercises called Nancercize . We will be contacting Nancy about working together on creating bench excercise signage for our parks.
