( CNN ) -- Just did some power lunges . Quads getting huge . Can only speak in fragments . Because my quads are so huge . Quads . Huge . Admit it . Your favorite part of working out is actually telling people that you just worked out , especially when you can filter this information into a completely unrelated conversation . `` Dude , earlier today I swear I saw a pigeon eating a pigeon . It was insane . Happened right when I got out of the gym ... that 's where I exercise . My muscles . '' Deep down , for some reason , you just want people to know that your morning was spent inside a weight room , sweating , as opposed to , say , inside a bathroom , thumbing through an old Garfield book . Of course , some people do n't even try to be coy about their workout brags . Instead , they flat out share their stats and results with the world via social media . And it 's the worst . `` Just biked 70 miles . Time for a beer . LOL . '' This is unacceptable behavior , and it needs to stop . I would do something about it , myself , but I 've got a big run coming up . `` Twenty miles . LOL . '' Just kidding . I do n't run . It requires pants . However , in Moscow , there 's a perfectly good reason for working out in public and letting everyone know without having to be one of those people . Because at the Vystavochnaya subway station , riders can now perform 30 squats in exchange for a free metro ticket . It 's all a part of a promotion for the upcoming Winter Olympics in Sochi , and the Russian Olympic Committee is hoping to `` add elements of sport into daily life . '' Though , to be fair , this was accomplished many years ago when the two-piece track suit legally became the country 's official outfit for business casual . To earn the free metro ticket , which costs about $ 0.92 American , commuters have two minutes to complete their squats in front of the ticket machine 's special counting camera . But you have to do all 30 . No fewer . Otherwise , a bear crawls out of the machine and mauls you . In Mother Russia , failure has consequences . But , really , if you fail to do all 30 , you just have to pay for your ticket . There 's no reward for participation . And squats are no easy task . Right now I 'm in week four of the Insanity home workout program -- see how I slipped that in there ? -- and it 's basically 40 minutes of squats , broken up by short moments of lashing out with profanities toward Shaun T and Tania . I cry during the 30-second rest breaks , and check my e-mail during Level 1 drills . Because ai n't nobody got time for that . The point is that squats are hard , and the following activities may prove to be far more satisfying : . 1 ) Sleeping . 2 ) Eating . 3 ) Being trapped in a car fire . Regardless , the squat machine in Moscow will remain at the station until the beginning of December , and the Olympic Committee is planning more chances for people to get fit in public with exercise bikes that charge your phone and bus handles converted into stretchy exercise bands . So , remember Russians , drink your recovery fluid and log onto Team BeachBody dot com . And good luck with that bear . Follow @ JarrettBellini on Twitter .
In Moscow , metro riders can do their work for a free ticket . Machine registers their movements . If they do n't do all this , they have to give up . The ticket would cost the equivalent of about 92 cents .
