This cafe in London has found a unique way of diverting people towards healthy lifestyle.
The Run For Your Bun Café inside the David Lloyd Club in London, lets participants complete a six-minute intensive micro workout in exchange for a free meal. The restaurant was open over the weekend to members of the public with reservations.
This six minutes high-intensity interval training (HIIT) consists of one-minute on a rowing machine, one minute on a spin bike, one minute on a treadmill, followed by 60-seconds of sit-ups and bodyweight squats, with 30-second rest periods between each exercise. According to the research, British office workers spend almost 90% of the working day by sitting in a one position and being inactive and invariably eating lunch at their desks.
Plus the popularity of food delivery and shopping apps is leading to a more inactive lifestyle among these workers. Such schemes by food joints will help promote the importance of movement and mobility among people.
This collaboration between gyms and faces are worth admiration. In developing countries like India where fast food and immobile lifestyle is getting popular, this can be a good lesson.
