Tel Aviv Promenade

Tel Aviv beachfront promenade, August 2014 Bright red and yellow fitness stations line the seafront promenade, with hotel towers on one side and the Mediterranean on the other, and on this summer evening people drift from one to the next. Tel Aviv puts outdoor workout equipment on several of its beaches, Frishman and Charles Clore among them, so you can jog the promenade and stop at whichever station comes next. These are simple resistance machines rather than barbells, which makes them friendly for a mixed group or a quick session between beach and dinner.
