(there is a link to listen to the segment)

Ya know I thought about him the other day, I haven’t seen him in awhile, (was hoping a car didn’t bump into him). He’s not a GP institution but a DC one, I’m just happy he graces our streets as well.

is this the same guy that exercises outside of the Starbucks on 7th and E?

It’s like DC’s own version of NYC’s “Naked Cowboy”

We already talked about Exercise Man on readexpress.com. See the comments section of the page below.

This any relation to the dancing guy that attends the Hard Rock Cafe ? I witnessed this one day and people were asking about him and supposedly they even made a lapel pin with him on it. I think they also said he works for some government agency around there and has been coming in and dancing near the bar for years.

There is also another guy who I saw one night on H at 7th but in front of Matchbox, in nothing but his underwear doing yoga moves in the middle of the street. It was not the same guy as running guy because I’ve seen him as well a few times. A neighborhood fulla crazies.

Thanks si & NWashingtonian for the links!

I’ve seen the sometimes elusive Exercise Man twice. cities just aren’t the same without people like him. if he’s doing what he enjoys and isn’t hurting others, God bless him.

I’ve seen him on his way in on H St. out near Benning Road. I would assume then that H St. is his route.
