New Street Workout and Parkour area in Monesterio (Badajoz)

The new Street Workout and Parkour area of ​​Industrias Agapito pursues the objectives of the Monesterio City Council of creating new sports spaces.

A new sports space in El Tejar has been created to promote sports among young people. With the installation of the new Street Workout and Parkour area, the Monesterio City Council, in Badajoz, expands its sports offer with new modalities.

Calisthenics is a training system based on performing movements through the body itself, with the athlete’s own weight exerting resistance to work on strength and cardiovascular capacity.

Parkour is a sports discipline that was born in the street, where its practitioners, called Traceurs, train in the areas that provide the most play to perform their movements.

The discipline has its origins deeply rooted: street training, since it is part of its identity sign along with its accessibility to everyone, since you only need a pair of sneakers to practice it.

These characteristics demonstrate that parkour is more of a social movement of integration than a sport in itself.

Both disciplines are especially indicated for working on physical strength, flexibility, agility and coordination.

Calisthenics devices have been incorporated into the training area aimed at strengthening all the muscles of the body. All devices are certified under the European Standard for fixed outdoor physical training equipment EN16630. In this discipline, it is worth highlighting the Street Workout Set 6 posts, it is a sports station to perform multiple exercises and develop different physical abilities such as flexibility, strength, muscular resistance, balance and coordination, composed of six posts, two fixed horizontal bars at different heights, a trellis and a horizontal ladder.

Parallel Bars with a height of 1200mm have also been incorporated to be used by a single user at a time and focus the exercise on the element, the Abdominal Bench or the 4-Post Street WorkOut Set composed of four posts with four horizontal bars to perform push-ups held on the bars at different heights, among other elements.

Parkour is a non-competitive sport that allows you to work on the strength and skill of body movements using different equipment. In the Tejar area, several jumping platforms, precision walls, fluidity walls and arm walls have been installed. The objective is to move the entire body through exercises on the different devices. The Parkour elements of Industrias Agapito have been certified under the demanding European Regulation EN16899.

Agapito Industries, a specialist in the installation of turnkey sports projects, has carried out the installation of all the calisthenics elements and the parkour circuit. We thank the Monesterio City Council for its trust in carrying out this innovative project, which aims to encourage young people to exercise safely, outdoors.
