Lady Exercising

The good councillors of Arklow, in their wisdom (rare, very rare!) decided recently to install a series of keep fit machines in the open air right beside the duck pond. This is an interesting idea in modern community health policy. Basically the idea is that folk, especially senior citizens, can enjoy their walk with the added bonus of exercising different muscle groups at the various stations.
It just so happens that my eldest son is a research fellow with Queens University in Belfast and community health is his particular baby. He has delivered papers on the use of this idea in Bejing and Montreal and was delighted to have some photos of our Arklow machinery to work into his Powerpoint presentations.
