Exercising in the crisp and cool air of the park

Taman Bukit Jalil public park.

Visited this public park for the first time with my wife. Never imagine such a beautiful and scenic public park can exist so close to the city centre.

It has lots of shady trees, undulating jogging, paths, bridges, ponds, pavilions, playground equipment, par course stations, foot reflexology stations, well maintained landscaping and concrete steps built into steep slopes. Beside the greenery, there is also a colony of monkeys to entertain the visitor with their antics.

Saw lots of visitors of diverse types, from senior citizens to youths and school children. All of them went there for one purpose, that is to exercise their bodies.

Showed the wife how to use the parcouse equipment to do simple exercises like push ups, leg stretching, sit ups, etc. Despite her stiff limbs and uncoordinated movements she managed to work out some sweat  on the equipment. We also tried our hands on the playground equipment eg seesaws, swings and climbed up and down the slide stations.

Encountered a big concrete staircase constructed on a steep slope. I had to guide my wife on the climb up the staircase step by step and asked her to hold on the hand rails as she has weak knees. Despite the strain my wife managed to ascend to the top of the flight of stairs without stopping.

Both of us enjoyed the walk and the exercises very much. Definitely will make this park our favorite place for our morning exercises and walks.
