Being homeless is not obstacle for this 50-year-old man who lives on the streets of Paris and works out there.
Meet Frenchman Jacques Sayagh, a 50-year-old homeless man who lives on the streets of Paris.
The video below depicts his daily work-out routine, dubbed with a voice over encouraging viewers to get off the “pity potty” and stop making excuses for not getting into shape.
Okay, so it has absolutely nothing to do with cycling.
But despite the sun beating down on most parts of Ireland the last couple of days; if you’re still in need of motivation to get out there and get in shape then this is for you.
The original film was shot by director Julien Goudichaud and has gone viral.
With his dog for company, Sayagh works out on the streets and passers-by throw some money into his pot.

Sayagh, who still enters body building competitions despite having liver disease from his drinking days, told the director: "I don't want to live in a small apartment. People do not understand why I sleep on the floor, but I never feel cold."
He lives on the street with his dog, a range of work out apparatus and creatine supplements.
He says he likes to keep fit with a range of exercises including push-ups, pull-ups using straps hanging from lampposts and bicep curls with thick elastic ropes hung from street railings.
