Hands up, who can’t wait to see the new Tarzan film?
One Hong Kong man has apparently modelled his latest workout regimen on Viscount Greystoke himself by swinging back and forth from a tree branch, as seen (and dutifully filmed) by a netizen.
This clip, which was filmed 7:30am in Tsing Yi yesterday (#TsingYiTarzan), shows a sweaty shirtless man furiously swinging his body back and forth while hanging onto a rather flimsy-looking branch, as if he arbored a grudge against the tree.
What do you even call that kind of exercise? Calistreenics? Branchisthenics?
Since it was uploaded yesterday, the video has been shared on multiple Facebook pages and brought glee to thousands of viewers. Some have remarked that the man’s vigour looked as if it would split the branch, while one commenter humorously compared him to “an orangutan on the Discovery Channel”.
