As New Year approaches many people have set their resolution as losing weight and are finding new ways to do so.
One surprising way to burn calories quickly is inspired by Monty Python's 'Mr Teabag', played by John Cleese. Experts have found that the silly walking style made famous by the comedy troupe is actually vigorous exercise.
For anyone unfamiliar with the Python team's Ministry of Silly Walks sketch, it’s described by The Times as “a satire on bureaucratic inefficiency” and features Cleese as civil servant Mr Teabag. We see Teabag walking to work in an extremely absurd fashion before conducting a meeting with Mr Pewtey (Michael Palin), who is requesting a government grant to develop his own silly walk.
