Today's Exercise Video

I am not particularly clued into gymnastics. The men are normally good looking and very muscular and slight. I'm peripherally aware of the kinds of gymnastics that are practiced in the West: rings, trapezes, and the like. I was not aware that in India, poles are used just as the "horse" (I forget its proper name) is used here. You will be astounded that from a running start these men (and a teenage boy) catch and cling to the pole with their feet only. Watch the video. If you like bears, there is an Indian otter/bear who is quite handsome. If you like smooth men, the first one will be your choice.
