Sporting Trail of the Sources Pond

Maël-Carhaix, Côtes-d'armor

Level: Beginner

The athletic course of Maël-Carhaix takes place around the Étang des Sources, at the edge of the village. The exercise stations are spread along the stabilized paths that circle the body of water and cross through the Kervézennec water garden. Notable features include a slalom course, a balance beam, parallel bars, and a horizontal ladder. The community site is open access year-round. A beach, picnic tables, and a playground complete the outing.

Stations along the trail

Warm-up : Start with five to ten minutes of brisk walking. Loosen your shoulders, hips and ankles with small gentle movements to get your body ready for the effort.

  1. Balance beam Avancez lentement en gardant une main proche d'un appui. Faites une première traversée en fixant le regard sur un point devant vous.
  2. Parallel bars Gardez les pieds au sol ou sur un appui pour alléger le poids. Faites de petites flexions sans descendre trop bas.
  3. Monkey bars Franchissez un ou deux barreaux puis reposez les pieds. Travaillez d'abord la suspension, bras tendus.
  4. Slalom Réalisez le parcours en marchant. Passez entre les poteaux sans chercher la vitesse.

Cool-down : Finish with a few minutes of slow walking. Gently stretch your legs, back and arms, holding each position for a few seconds without forcing.
