Coast and Harbour
Besides its coastal and harbourside grandeur is yet another worth-visiting place, a little hidden gem indeed, the Nandeebie Park. And from here, we will take you for a high-quality workout. Get ready for an excellent resource to help the communities reach health and wellness goals.
Park and Street
To get to our workout area, upon arriving at Nandeebie Park, by the water on Coburg Street East, go towards Phelan Street. From there, get into the Oyster Point Park, overlooking the beautiful Coral Sea. Oyster Point Park is small but has all the amenities way may need. Locals can book the amenities and power through the Redland City Council up on Bloomfield Street. The place is more than walking paths and open green spaces, it cradles outdoor exercise equipment that is accessible to all fitness levels, to people of all ages and abilities.
Back and Chest Exercise
Let’s begin our workout. First, let’s work the large muscles of your back. Head to the exercise equipment and start on the rowing machine. Sit on the seat and place your feet onto the foot pads. Pull back with both arms and pull the handle to your torso. 2 or 3 sets of 15 – 20 reps of rowing should give you a good workout. Start off slowly, with fewer sets and reps; as you get stronger, add in some more volume.
Now we’ve worked our back, let’s balance it out a little and work the chest muscles. The seated chest fly machine does a great job here. Site on the seat, place your forearms up against the pads, and bring your elbows together, you’ll really feel those chest muscles working. Again, 2 or 3 sets of 15 – 20 reps of rowing should give you a good workout. Start off slowly, with fewer sets and reps, as you get stronger, add in some more volume.
Legs Exercise
To finish off, let’s work our legs with some squats. These can be done by standing over the park bench, with the back of our legs just touching the seat. Hold your arms out in front of you, outstretched, for balance. Slowly lower yourself down to the bench until your butt ‘just’ touches the bench. Pause for a split second, and then raise yourself up again by extending your thighs. Do the same reps and sets as the previous exercises.
Now, who says we need resources or funds to be physically fit? You’ve now finished a short and effective free workout. Go for a lovely walk along the foreshore and embraces nature’s natural benefits with your friends from nearby cities like Thornlands, Alexandra Hills, and the rest of Redland Bay.
