This is photo #31 (of 50) in a series about life in Brazil. Brasília prides itself in being a health-conscious city. In almost every neighborhood there are public exercise areas. Although the paraphernalia looks like playground equipment you never see children playing on them.This one is a block from our apartment building.

Why don’t the children play there?
They know they are not toys. Exercise is taken very seriously.
Do people actually use this equipment for exercise?
Yes, they do!
