The addition of nature and fresh air helps make exercising fun and therefore more effective. Combining outdoor exercise, natural light and sensory stimulation reduces stress and encourage healthy behaviors.

Most of the clients' equipment used in Public Fitness Playgrounds requires no electricity, is low maintenance, and uses very little human resources. While burning off calories, some systems use technology that harvests all that people power, and converts it into useable electricity. A majority of the materials used in their construction, including aluminum, steel, and sustainable plastics; are recyclable. The minimal impact on the natural environment is attractive to the developer, the funder, and the end user. Many participants may link positive environmental contribution, with greater enjoyment of exercise.

Though there are numerous indoor fitness options, they can be costly and inconvenient. Public Fitness Playgrounds can remove these barriers, which is especially attractive in lower income neighborhoods. In fact, residents of high-poverty counties in the U.S. have obesity rates 145% greater than those in wealthy counties. By increasing the number of Public Fitness Playgrounds available, there is an increased likelihood of creating positive change in overall fitness and health.

Regular physical activity is essential to health and longevity. Many people report preferring exercising outdoors, which may also have a greater effect on mental and physical well-being. Outdoor exercise is also rated as being more restorative compared to indoors since natural environments reduce emotional and physiological stress. Exercising outdoors provides all the physical benefits of indoor exercise (blood flow, improved cardiovascular health, improved strength, flexibility, endurance, etc.) and can also provide vital exposure to sunlight that increases important levels of vitamin D, unlike indoor exercise.

Public Fitness Playgrounds provide additional opportunities for adults to recreate and participate in physical activity outdoors. People who exercise regularly may be attracted to these new outdoor locations, and create a true fitness “destination” within a neighborhood. This may also help attract more non-users to the new and popular destination.

Cleaning Equipment to Remove COVID-19
Please use the Center for Disease Control’s (CDC) recommendations for disinfection to remove COVID-19 from your equipment.
PFPP hopes that COVID-19 will be eradicated swiftly and cause no-more-harm to the public. In the meantime, the CDC recommends using diluted household bleach solutions, alcohol solutions with at least 70% alcohol, or most common EPA-registered household disinfectants. Household bleach will be effective against corona viruses, when properly diluted. To dilute, please follow these instructions. Prepare a bleach solution by mixing:
– 5 tablespoons (1/3 cup) bleach per gallon of water or
– 4 teaspoons bleach per quart of water
– Rinse your equipment and let it completely dry before allowing it to be used by children or adults.
WARNINGS...
– Check to ensure all products are not past their expiration dates. Expired products will not disinfect properly.
– Never mix household bleach with ammonia or any other cleanser!
PLEASE NOTE: mixing ammonia and household bleach produces a toxic gas called chloramine which causes shortness of breath and chest pains.. Using the above CDC recommended solutions will not harm your Miracle equipment and your warranty will remain for its duration. Together, with mindful prevention, we can help stem the spread of COVID-19.
