CALLISTHENICS
IN LIMA

I'm no callisthenics expert, and I’m not going to be turning any heads when working out! I just stumbled across callisthenics when previously in Medellín, and I’ve come to enjoy working out outdoors in an uncomplicated manner.

As for Lima, there are plenty of places to enjoy a callisthenics workout in the city, particularly if you live in Miraflores. Whilst there may not be large outdoor gyms or workstations in Miraflores, there are very small callisthenic areas, often with just some pull-up bars and parallel bars. However, for me, bars are just fine.

Aside from Miraflores, I’ve done callisthenics in outdoor gyms in Barranco, Lince and Surco. For the best callisthenics locations, head to Lince or Surco.

By the way, calistenia is the word in Spanish. Then, I would use gimnasios al aire libre as the general word to describe the kind of public areas you can work out in.
