The Gym Made Of Wood
This is an outdoor gym made entirely of discarded orchard tree limbs and other pieces of recycled material. It bills itself as an eco-gym. Neat idea, but I wonder if anyone actually works out in it. [GOOD] (Thanks to c-side!)

I'm gonna go pump me some wood!
Um.
I'll contribute some wood...FROM MY PANTS!!
@jodark: well... both take a lot more processing to make into gym equipment. i mean you could do a gym made of wood with a sharp knife if you were dedicated enough.
I wonder if you still have to wipe the equipment down afterwards.
@katylostherart: Hmmm... this 50lb dumb-bell feels a little lighter this time. Well crap, stupid termites...
"Ow, I got a splinter from the free weights..."
If it rains do they re-mark the weights? Wet wood gets much heavier.
There goes their 15 minutes of fame...
killing trees for stupid stuff is actually anti-eco-friendly right? or did i miss something.
@JohnDeere: my bad it was discarded wood. so i reckon a discarded styrofoam cup gym would be eco friendly too. ill get to work on it.
Looks like a junk yard. Music was annoying.
I saw someone suggest making a simple mallet from a piece of branch with a sub-branch coming off at 90 degrees. It was a pretty good idea, as it is recycling, and the mallet is pretty gentle on the surface you hit it with.
I bet someone's going to steal this gym for firewood.
This is how John Locke stays fit in the off-season.
George Washington's false teeth were made of wood.
FYI
In my mom's town there is a secluded park with circuit training apparatuses. It is made from treated lumber and such- not limbs and recycled items. We went as a family one day and had a blast competing against each other.
@katylostherart: What about all the processing to turn a piece of metal into a knife? They don't grow on trees you know!!
Nice.. this is only an hour from my parents' house in Spain... Those crazy Spaniards.. :-) Useless, but classic Spanish ingenuity..
@ncboxer:
Yes, it did look like a junk yard. I would be afraid the equipment would break while I was trying to use it.
Its a witch! BURN IT!!!!
It bills itself as an eco-gym
After-all, metal and rubber aren't naturally occuring resources or anything.
