Because it does seem a little redundant to workout on machines indoors, more and more playgrounds for adults—which is just a more exiciting way to say outdoor gym—are appearing across the country, according to *[The New York Times](http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/01/nyregion/new-york-introduces-its-first-adult-playground.html?%5Fr=2&partner=rss&emc=rss&pagewanted=all&ref=killscreen.com)*. It remains uncertain from the [pictures](http://www.nytimes.com/imagepages/2012/07/01/nyregion/01PLAYGROUND2.html?ref=killscreen.com) whether the adults have engaged in any red rover as of now.

> The goal is to lure people off their couches and into the outdoors with specially designed playground equipment — in grown-up shades like forest green and beige — that recall the joy of childhood play while tightening up flabby abs, thighs and triceps.  
>  
> Though there are no swings or slides — these are essentially outdoor gyms — such playgrounds not only have the look of traditional children’s play spaces, but they are also built in some cases by the same manufacturers.  
>  
> The adult playground concept is borrowed from China and parts of Europe, where outdoor fitness areas for adults have become as routine as high-fiber diets or vitamin D supplements in preventive care, particularly for older people.
