Russia is running full steam ahead with preparations for hosting the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, which is less than three months away from its 7 February opening date. To promote the Games and physical fitness, a special machine popped up at the Vystavochaya subway station in Moscow. Instead of paying the standard price of 30 rubles (or 92 cents), passengers can earn a metro ride by performing 30 squats or lunges. Keep an eye out for more of these unique challenges as the Russian Olympic Committee promises more upcoming ways to “add elements of sport into daily life.”
