What a wonderful idea! "Green warriors have their green fitness club. Where? In Spain, in Valdespino de Somoza, in the countryside of Leon. It’s there where some Spanish villagers have built a low-tech green gym area called Lumen. Don’t expect to meet steamy trainers, listen to trendy music, or carry heart beat tracker. There, you get in shape by playing with exercise machines made from a worn car battery, tree branches, boots, rocks or concrete.
There, you essentially learn everything by yourself, by reading the appropriate brochure that bundles the machine. Or if you’re lucky, you could meet the founder of Lumen, Manuel de Arriba Ares, who will show you his “modest knowledge as a professor of physical education”. Of course, exercising in such a place is free."
If you don't have the parts available, you can always buy your fitness equipment
How fantastic is this? Really! My step dad and my father-in-law both have knee problems and have had to have knee replacement surgery. The one thing they both love is a topical pain cream that I gave them of ours called Topricin. Our family loves it and we use it regularly instead of Tylenol or Ibuprofen type meds. It feels so good and it is all natural :) I know from them how awful it must be to feel like aging means you have to be less "fit" so I am thrilled to see this green gym. Now, if only we lived closer to it!
