sport for nerds

sounds weird, doesn't it? that's what i thought, too, until i watched last weeks editions of polylux and tracks. for those of you who are not familiar with these programmes; the first runs on ard (first german state television), the latter on arte (a cooperation between german and french tv stations). while both are made for a younger audience, polylux is more satire and has more political topics and tracks focuses on music and entertainment. for the record: the presenter of polylux works also for the german editorial department of tracks. this said, i can come to the actual topic of this post now: house gymnastics. house gymnastics is a new fun sport which was invented by two brits with too much time and narrow houses with lots of stairs. now why is this a good sport for nerds? well, simply put, because you won't have to leave your house (given you have stairs and walls and stuff like that) to work out. and you feel like spiderman or your wall-climbing superhero of choice. the exercises are a bit difficult to explain, so i suggest you check out the instructions and pictures on their homepage.
