Health Trail of the Bois du Paradou

Les Molières, Essonne

5 stations

Level: Beginner

Health trail set up in the woods of Paradou and Cocquetière, near the Anne Frank school complex in Molières. It can be accessed via the chemin des Valentins. Five wooden modules are arranged under the trees: a vaulting horse, parallel bars, a balance beam, suspended abdominal exercises, and horizontal ladders. Access is free. Children under 8 years old must be accompanied by an adult.

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. Leapfrog posts Prenez appui et enjambez le plot sans sauter complètement. Utilisez les plots les plus bas.

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.
