Making it Fun (2023/228)

Image
Getting fit through tough training is well worth it, especially if you can have a bit of fun now and again. Sometimes things go wrong, but you pick yourself up and give it another go.  This post is something of a mixed bag of fit guys, but hope you like! This young gymnast chooses a location for his strength training where he can show off a bit... Maybe conventional standing back sommies are a bit safer... Or ten flips to one leg? You  can usually have a bit of fun during training with a group of friends - this longer vid has both: Getting redy for a photoshoot? This guy deserves one... Do please note that 'baby oil' is no substitute for sun cream!! We learned that the hard way, and we remember the blisters...

The first gym to be featured, in California, we have seen before in several posts. Sorry for poor video quality on the next one, but the boy's talent makes it worth including... Adam Upcott on top for the next one... A small challenge next... ... ... A bit wobbly, but they got there!     Despite the setting, this next is unusual - to put a girl on top in a foursome is not a recognised move in formal acrobatic gymnastics... For another free head balance, we have Christiano Rujano performing on his own:   For this last video, we add a teeter board... Yes, we have let a few individual performers in there, so here's another video of 'tricking' on the beach: And a farewell flip for now!
