It would seem there is no end to monkeys' talents, including gym-style workouts.
A video, thought to be filmed in Central Asia, shows a primate executing both press-ups and sit-ups.
Positioned on a table next to a handler, the monkey jerkily lower his upper half down to the table using his arms and pushes himself back up again.
Workout time: A video, thought to be filmed in Central Asia, shows a primate executing excellent press-ups and sit-ups
Press ups: Positioned on a table next to a handler, the monkey jerkily lower his upper half down to the table using his arms and pushes himself back up again
Then, seemingly without any signal to do so he sits himself down on the table, swivels round and begins a series of sit-ups.
Just like a human he places his hands behind his head and sits up and down multiple times, while the man next to him acts as a spotter by holding his legs.
The monkey has a thin rope around his neck which the handler holds the ends of.
Onlookers laugh at the unusual sight.
Such unnatural behaviour in a primate could well be the result of animal cruelty although the story behind the clip is unknown.
Harshly-treated performing monkeys are not a rare sight in Asia where there are very few animal welfare regulations.
The video was uploaded by Shesh Narayan, from Delhi.
Cruel? The monkey has a thin rope around his neck which the handler holds the ends of
Up and down, up and down: Then, just like a human, he places his hands behind his head and sits up and down multiple times, while the man next to him acts as a spotter by holding his legs
