In Viña del mar a park was built a few months ago, this park has exercising machines, it gives everyone the opportunity to exercise, and get to know viña del mar.
You can ride a bike, walk, jog, take your children so they can play, there are special games for children.
This is the opportunity for every family to go and have time together, they can do lots of things including going to the beach, walking, riding a bike, etc. All this will contribute for their healthiness, they do exercise, they spend time together and they can breathe air outdoors.
They installed exercising machines on purpose so people could see them and feel attracted to them, if you cant go to the gym, you just get a walk and use them for a while.
And this is not the only place to exercise, also there are gyms all around Viña del mar.
In conclusion, Viña del mar is a great place to get exercise, you can easily get access to sports equipment or just get your bike and ride it. Also you can just take a walk with your family, etc. Sports will give you a lot of benefits, you just need to do it.

Sharing, Using and doing.
For humans there are lots of needs, one of them, and the one that I will talk about is exercise in communities.
Exercise is one of the main things for a healthy life style, of course there are other things to like healthy eating, etc.
Every community neds places to exercise and if you exercise you will become physically active and probably not in over weight.
Not every community has the availability for physical activities, it's related to a lot of things, income, geography, etc. For example african communities have barriers, like lack of parks, side walks and bike lanes.
Shared use is a way to increase access to recreational facilities. This can be agreements between two entities, for example a school and any other group agree to let that group use the school facilities like a gym, courts, etc. During non-school hours.
But shared use does not only help people to do exercise, it also reduces costs because they share them. It's helping each other.
There are two types of agreements in shared use, formal agreements and informal agreements.
Formal agreements ensure the responsability from each part. But informal ones don't have any written paper, just by word.
But shared use has some obstacles that prevent from being completely efficent, like vandalism, so you can ensure school facilities will be left as they were before use.
Also shared use is not the only way to exercise, people make groups to go running together or exercise at the beach.
Exercising, it's a life style, it requires time and commitment.
Exercising does not only prevent over weight and obesity, it also prevents a lot more diseases, like heart ones. People who exercise more, have less possibilities of having a heart problem.
Doing exercise also gets people with more energy, it energizes them.
It helps to improve digestive systems.
It also improves relationship between people when they do it together, also when doing it with friends they can encourage each other to do it, it's more exciting to do it with friends than alone.
Sports will not only give you inmediate benefits, it will also give you long term benefits, But for those benefits to become permanent, yu need to keep pratising sports.
In summary sports aren't just an activity, they are an important part of a healthy life.
