I saw him once on one of my early morning runs around 6 a.m.. He wasn’t spinning but was indeed running backwards around Penn and 3rd near the Capitol building. A much quieter exercise man.

Nope. I haven’t seen him, yet.

Thanks for this post. It was fun to learn more about the Exercise Man. It’s great to have such personality in area.

This guy’s an attention whore. How many more times must we hear about his one-act-show.

Uh oh, looks like the guy lost a fan.

The guy who sells Street Sense at 7th and E is also nice. Not as much of a personality as these others, but friendly and courteous….and you’ve gotta love the gold front tooth with the bling….

I have seen this guy several times downtown at the same intersection. All he does is dance around the crosswalks all day. Once I was at Starbucks on the corner and watched him for nearly an hour.

I dont get it!!!!!

Can you run several miles backwards then hop around in circles for an hour? I have been seeing this man for years run backwards up and down H st. If I could run as fast he can backwards I wouldn’t publbic taransportation. from what I’ve seen, he always beats the bus downtown.
