Exercise, camaraderie, and more



At least in some towns in the United States, adults are trying different ways of redefining exercise as we know it. In Newport New Hampshire local adults are coming out to their gym on Friday nights to attend a two hour session of routine warm-up exercises and what they call "spastic ball", a game which is said to be some sort of a hybrid between soccer and basketball. The rules are pretty loose, and the folks playing the game intend it to be that way. IN an interview with MSNBC, founder Mike Pettinicchio said that while it was nice to have some competition, he added that the people playing "spastic ball" did not want it to be overly serious about their workout session. In fact, they see it as a way to simply meet with friends and have some fun. In Portland Oregon, something similar is being done. And as MSNBC put it, "are a way to enjoy childhood activities without all the rules."
