Toning Up In Transit

If you've had to cut the gym from your budget, Urlesque reminds us that we're all already paying for an on-the-go workout space: the subway. They've compiled some videos of subway exercise methods from cities all over — the best and most comprehensive one can be found here.

Stretches, pull-ups, squats... the possibilities are endless for those willing to do just about anything in front of their fellow straphangers. We wonder if anyone's tried yoga while underground, or tossed around the ol' medicine ball.

Get some more tips on subway workouts here. Personally we prefer getting off a few stops early and walking, because really, could you picture yourself doing this on your line?

Will probably just keep a low profile and stay away from steak knives, thanks for the tips though.

i'll smack the dumbass who attempts this on the 4/5/6.

To whom it may concern: THIS ISN'T YOUR LIVING ROOM. YOU ARE IN PUBLIC. STOP ACTING LIKE A SELFISH ASS.

By the way, these people are the reason these shits break.

As obnoxious and unnecessary as sidewalk spitting.

Random displays of strength to intimidate rivals and attract mates went out of style during the last Ice Age. That is, unless you're a genetic throwback to those bygone days.

Sidewalk spitting is sometimes completely necessary. Otherwise, it would turn into spitting on people. Do you want that?

I would die before i took a train with all those germ incubating zombies.
