In addition to providing, eh hem, a dependable environment for its riders, Metro also allows its riders to work out while commuting through creative usage of materials in the car. Riders may participate in the following activities:
- Pole spinning. Spinning around the standing poles until dizziness leads to loss of balance. Riders should chart spinning time to loss of balance and gradually increase the length of time before ending on the floor.
- Calf stretches. After spinning ad nauseum, the rider may find that their calves require stretching. The rider is encouraged to use the walls and barriers of metro to stretch their legs (see diagram for proper form).
- Pull ups. Utilizing the hand bars running across the ceiling, the rider may attempt as many pull ups until failure. The rider is encouraged to increase stamina and endurance so that the number of pullups increases over time.
- Bar flips. An advanced move where the rider hangs from the ceiling bar. The rider then swings their legs up and through the gap between their arms and the bar, landing facing the starting direction. The rider is encouraged to avoid landing in the lap of the nearest passenger.
And yes, all four of these activities were witnessed over the summer. Metro riders are nothing if not fit.
