That's kinda weird because 30 is the number of squats I do at any given time.
I just sort of settled on the number through trial and error.
That said, there's no fucking way I'd perform like a circus animal for subway fare.
So, you give a special deal to people who are young, healthy and unimpaired. You would think that would be enough reward on it's own. Let's punish crippled grandma, just for fun.
So let me get this straight: I won't exercise even though it will make me feel better, look better, live longer, and get laid more, but I will to get free subway fare?
I don't think they thought this through.
Good one, amp.
I've been doing a few squats now and then, and balancing on one of those exercise balls, trying different exercises.
Actually the subway idea is kinda cute. Gets people thinking and having fun.
