Street workout, or "street training" as it is literally translated, is a physical practice that combines bodyweight exercises and acrobatic figures. It is performed outdoors, often in parks or on landscaped areas. The discipline traces its roots back to the early 2000s in New York, where enthusiasts began to hijack street furniture to create their own workout routines. A descendant of calisthenics, street workout focuses on functional movements such as pull-ups, push-ups and squats, as well as impressive figures like the plank, front lift and muscle-up. What sets it apart is its accessibility, since it's a 100% free discipline, practiced in spaces accessible to all, and above all, with no equipment required. No need for membership or sophisticated machines: here, the body becomes the only tool, and the city the terrain of expression for this particularly complete discipline.
The city of Paris boasts numerous spots for street workouts: in the 14th arrondissement, the square Jules Durand is the place to be!
