I've been wanting to write a blog entry like this for a long time, but I've just been waiting for the evidence to write it properly. Let me say it simply - the Senegalese people are exercise-obsessed! All times of day and temperature level, you'll see the people of Dakar (mainly men) jogging around the city. Not only that, but they stop to 'pump it up' as well. Their pump it up activities could include digging trenches to do push-ups or jumping up with both legs splayed in front of them - v position - and then touching their outstretched legs with their arms (my personal favorite because I don't understand how easy they make it look!). They seem to do all the activities with ease. I hurt just watching it all!
