NORTH RUSTICO, Canda (CBC) -- Some new playground equipment is trying to make fitness fun for adults.
The adult jungle gym is a new concept, located in Prince Edward Island, Canada. It's called an outdoor fitness center, and it's strategically placed right next door to a children's playground, so that in theory an adult can exercise and still keep an eye on their little ones.
Allison Larkin was a little skeptical at first.
"We went on it this summer and realized, you know what, it's pretty fun," she said.
The Nova Scotia company behind the equipment is called Greengym.
Outdoor fitness centers are already popular overseas and are now beginning to emerge in Canada.
"People that I've been able to stop by and see using it, they're ecstatic, this is great," said David Blacquiere, North Rustico Council.
