House Gymnastics
Harrison&Ford
(Ebury Press)
Why is it that the climbing frames in pub gardens are always so small? Kids aren't even supposed to be in a drinking establishment, let alone participating in fun activities that grown-ups can't enjoy. Hence the invention of House Gymnastics by two Nottingham-based art students - obviously a time consuming and work-heavy course. (Note to self: pick Art at uni). While it's not a new phenomenon, Harrison and Ford have discovered a way to get poor students in shape with this ultimate fitness regime- a bastard hybrid of yoga, breakdancing, gymnastics and climbing. And best of all, the little squirts from the pub garden aren't big enough. Just mind the footprints on the wall or your landlord won't be pleased.
