It’s always hard to stick with a new workout routine. You can tell yourself that you’re going to go to the gym every day, but then one day it just doesn’t fit into your schedule, and soon, you realize it’s been weeks since you’ve stepped foot on a treadmill. What the heck happened? I was supposed to be hot by now!

Maybe the problem is that it takes a while to get hooked on working out. That’s why, over in Lviv, Ukraine, one group of fitness aficionados are proposing an alternative: working out while smoking.

The activity, which has been dubbed “Sport and Smoke,” involves yoga and other low-impact exercises paired with your own personal shisha. While this appears to be a one-off promotional idea, commenters are enthusiastic about the idea, with many leaving comments asking where they can sign up and when the next class will be held.
