Fitness park equipment

Recently we went on holiday.  While we were travelling we found a park with playground and fitness equipment.  They had heaps of things that my son wanted to use.  I took a few photos as I found it amusing.  

They had a stationary bike, peddling was too easy so my son used it for elbow lever.

They had dip bars, my son used these for dips and then elbow lever.

There were push up bars that were intended to make push ups easier, these were good for elbow lever.

An inclined bench was used for elbow lever.

He had another try at the stationary bike as it was so much fun.  Normally exercise bikes are used by fat people to sit and peddle slowly while pretending that they are exercising.  I can't imagine many thin people ever use them, and I wouldn't think anyone would use them for elbow lever.  

How else would you use a stationary bike?

As well as all this there was a playground.  There was a thing in the playground that spins.  My son used it for elbow lever.  It was difficult and scary as the thing was spinning.  Apparently his legs acted like a sail and they caught the wind.  It was terrifying to watch.

The park was almost empty when I took these photos.  We went back to it later and it was full of people.  

Much to the delight of onlookers, my son did more elbow lever off the equipment, and did a lot of pull ups using their pull up bar.  I don't think these people had ever seen a strict pull up.  

A few of the young men attempted to do a pull up after watching my son, but none of them were strong enough.
