Leg day at the gym should never be skipped, but if you happen to be in an area that suffers wind speeds of 175 km/h you can just head out for a stroll and take care of those worries.

We know that Cape Town had itself some serious gusts a few Fridays back, but even those didn’t match the goings on over in New Hampshire.

Below from Huffington Post:

A man was filmed literally flying off the ground while braving 109 mph [175 km/h] wind gusts at the top of New Hampshire’s Mount Washington Observatory — the tallest peak in the Northeast…

“Wind on the summit is an experience that you can’t just describe to understand. It makes you fully appreciate that air is in fact a fluid and not empty space,” Mike Dorfman wrote in a blog post that accompanied the video Monday.

Dorfman went on to say that “it is really impossible to safely face down hundred-mile-per-hour winds almost anywhere else; you’d either be risking your life trying to hike into them (I was exhausted after several minutes of playing in the wind) or risking your life in a hurricane, where flying debris and shrapnel poses a huge threat.”

Maybe don’t try this one at home then, although if you happen to live around Vredehoek you don’t have much choice in the matter.
