Using exercise equipment in the park

My local park has a spot with exercise equipment! It's basically like a playground for adults. How would you log the exercise done there? It's a combination of cardio equipment (ellipticals) and weight equipment. Here are some pictures to give you an idea.

    Wonderful!
    I'd much rather exercise ghetto style than in some boring gym.

    Firstly, that *kitten* in the 'ghetto' workout video is CRAZY. That dude was doing CIRCLES while he was doing pull-ups! -faints-

    I know the equipment is outdoors, but isn't it similar to using, say, a home gym type product? Which means you should be able to log the exercises like you would a home gym. Now, from everything I've looked at (as I have a home gym myself), you simply log the workouts like you were at the gym... sit ups as sit ups, pull up as pull ups, looks like there was some kind of glider there. I don't *think* there is a difference in logging these kinds of exercises versus in an actual gym.

    Someone, please correct me if I'm wrong.

    I just watched a news special about this last night! This is so cool! I wish some of the parks around here had them, I would so use them over going to the gym! If you're unsure what to add, I'd just use a HRM to log your exercise there, and then log the reps/sets like you would using a home gym.

    Get yourself a good HRM. It's the only accurate way to log calories, regardless of where/how you work out :wink:
