May be not for all but for many it is no big deal. A novel way to say stay fit.
The residents of Cluj-Napoca, a city in western Romania, can get a free bus ride by doing twenty squats as part of a health campaign initiated by sports event Sports Festival.
The project aimed to encourage the general public to find ways to introduce sport/movement into their daily routine. The movement chosen to be included in the project is a basic one, with a major health benefit for those who choose to include it in their daily lives.
A video of a girl performing 20 squats in front of a booth to get a free bus ride has created a buzz over the internet. The girl’s video was shared by an user named Alina Bzholkina where one can see the girl succeeding in doing 20 squats to get her ‘health-ticket’. The squat booth has a camera installed and keeps a count of every squat the person does. Once she completes her set, a free bus ticket is dispatched from the machine.
