Fitness trails need stations that are not all strength work, and the outdoor balance beam (BABM) fills that role. It focuses on control, posture, balance and coordination, and it doubles as a push-up bar for upper body conditioning. It comes in 2 lengths, a 6 ft beam and an 8 ft beam.
The 6 ft beam stands 6 in. high and the 8 ft beam stands 10 in., so both stay low to the ground. Steel tubing with a powder-coated finish resists weather, and the 10-year limited warranty covers non-moving parts. It is made in the USA by TriActive USA. Parks can place a beam between stations along a walking trail, a simple way to widen a set of exercise equipment for parks.
