While someone is focused on doing yoga, the other one would like to put his head under the pillow, hold his ears with his feathery hand and take a nap. We all are different 😁
I'm sure they would be perfectly happy just standing there eating hay, but it doesn't hurt to move them around a bit.
This guy was exercising with two kettlebells outside the Royal Armouries in Leeds. Each kettlebell weighs in at 32kg. I quite like the fact that he was exercising in front of a mortar / cannon with hardware that looked like a cannon ball.

A lone figure cycling on South Shields pier, permitted daily exercise under the Govt's lockdown regulation.
My title here is suggestive of a prison. In the middle of this courtyard is indeed a lovely Victorian garden, but there is still a relatively large space that would allow a significant number of people to exercise.
This idea is not so far removed from the historical facts (and Victoria's largest high security juvenile prison is in fact a literal stone's throw away behind razor wire). There is even a photograph on this link that shows "Female inmates in 1928" [Royal Park: from parklands to a home: 1840s-1920s] www.thermh.org.au/about/about-rmh/our-history/history-roy...
Now of course they weren't strictly prisoners, but those destitute and under the care of the state were certainly institutionalised in a way that we no longer find acceptable.
So in a nutshell, the land was purchased in 1858 to form an experimental farm. The farm ultimately came to nothing and in 1875 an Industrial School for Girls was set up. Might I suggest that the term "Industrial" here has much in keeping the with term "Female Factory" in Van Dieman's Land (Tasmania) in the first half of the 19th century. These young women were essentially wards of the state.
In 1880 the girls were moved into foster homes and young males were moved into the buildings on the same conditions. This didn't last long. The rest of the story is best summarised from the history supplied by the RMH:
"By 1881, the boys had been removed and the Royal Park Industrial School buildings were left vacant. In July 1882, the site and buildings were given to the Immigrants’ Aid Society by the government for use as a home for houseless and destitute persons. At this time, the Male Division of the Society was relocated from St Kilda Road to Royal Park.
In 1914, the remaining operations, including female and child inmates, were transferred from St Kilda Road to Royal Park.
The change in name of the Society to Victorian Homes for Aged and Infirm, in 1902, was followed by another in 1925, to Victorian Benevolent Home and Hospital for the Aged and Infirm. By this time the majority of inmates no longer represented a range of ages, but were primarily elderly. This constituted the true start of geriatric care for the institution." www.thermh.org.au/about/about-rmh/our-history/history-roy...
So it is not an exaggeration to say that the space in this photograph was indeed at one time an exercise yard.
Exercise Cobra Warrior 2022 held at RAF Waddington, has come to an end. Friday 23 September saw the visiting aircraft return to their bases in Germany and Italy.
They gave us photographers at the fenceline much to be grateful for, their goodbye waves from the cockpit, their opening of airbrakes and refueling probes. Thank you!
Ciao / Auf Wiedersehen !!
This pool was on display at the Home and Garden show at UVU display. Joshua was very excited about getting in or at least touching the water.

Exercise doesn't have to be intense activity - like pumping iron, or bicycling for miles. Its goal doesn't have to be the proverbial 'six pack'. It could aim for basic health and a sense of rhythm.
Day 130 - Exercise
I don't have any need for these today, as I've spent most of the day cleaning the conservatory, windows and all.

Olympus OM-10 with Zuiko f1.8/50mm and manual adapter, Jessops KB100 (Efke KB17) expired 04/1996 @40 in D-76 1+1 for 6min. 20C
Although Jessops rated this film as ISO 100 it is Efke KB17 (ISO 40). I rated it at Efke' s speed and the results are really good, no fog in the base, no loss of speed and the tones are splendid.. not bad for a film that has been expired for 24 years.
Lots of time at home to catch up with unfinished stuff.
Sometimes they need to come out. Letting them exercise inside is rubbish. They tend to leave all the weighty stuff around inside and care not for how you feel, and well, that just weighs you down.
Best to let them exercise.
Yup
Maybe you’d like to buy Mr Flibble’s book too? That would be splendid.
