Morning Exercisers

In the mornings when I walk my dog, I see the morning exercisers. This being bangalore more care & effort is taken to choose the appropriate colour coordinated outfit than the exercise itself. Even before the sun rises in the sky, it does on the road. 

Bright Luminous body hugging cycling shorts, contrasting body hugging T-shirt, a brand new pair of running shoes with matching branded socks, a belt around your ample middle holding usually 2 black fibre glass bottles, a luminous coloured sweat band around the forehead. If cycling, the sweat band will be substituted with a cycling helmet, a mask around the mouth, gloves et all. If cycling is the preferred exercise, then the cycle would be an expensive imported branded 20 geared one. 

Running consists usually of baby steps, done without exerting too much. And cycling usually is in the easiest gear. The key being if you sweat the exercise is done. It's not important that you may sweat just walking a few steps on a warm day. 

There should be plenty of stops every 100 metres to drink from the bottles. I expect the bottle holds Redbull or some such energy drink in one. 

It's a pity that these brand ambassadors are as weak as the rest of us when it comes to consistency of doing exercise. Usually a luminous Brand Ambassador lasts only a week or two. But these 2 weeks are interesting to us ordinary folks to see the luminous sun - rise on the road as well
