Dubai’s push-up bus passenger shows there is no obstacle to exercise

Finding time to fit an exercise regimen into a busy daily schedule is no easy task.

But one committed traveler has shown that there is no excuse to be inactive, even when sitting on a bus.

Video footage of a passenger doing push-ups on top of the seats of a bus traveling through Dubai has taken the internet by storm.

It is not known when the recording was made or its specific location in Dubai, but it certainly caught the attention of social media users.

One person on Twitter saw the funny side and said the man was “doing the push-ups.”

Another applauded him for giving him the motivation to finally put his New Year’s fitness goals into action.

Others said that it showed that there really was no obstacle to a healthy lifestyle.

People around the world found unique ways to stay fit in the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic as stay-at-home orders were imposed.

Frenchman Elisha Nochomovitz even discovered a way to complete a marathon while at home in March 2020, running back and forth on his balcony.

He ran 42.2 kilometers in a straight line, never leaving the seven meter long space.

He saw it as a physical and mental challenge, but also shared the images online “to extend my support to all the medical staff who are doing an exceptional job,” he said from his apartment in Balma, a suburb of the southern city of Toulouse. .
