AN ABERDEEN politician wants to create a series of outdoor gyms at the city’s beach.
Kevin Stewart, SNP MSP for Aberdeen Central, raised the idea after his parliamentary assistant had spotted the gyms on a recent visit to Copacabana beach in Brazil’s coastal paradise of Rio de Janeiro.
The Aberdeen MSP said open-air exercise could provide a much-needed boost to the daily health regime of Aberdonians.
