Monty Python's "Silly Walk" Is An Effective Exercise!

Did you make a resolution to get fit this year? Before you break it (let's not kid ourselves), consider this creative workout idea!

Are you familiar with the "Ministry of Silly Walks" from Monty Python's Flying Circus? That’s a sketch from their show where John Cleese does some very odd things with his legs as he’s walking.
