Exercise in danger

In the US city of Portland an exercise enthusiast died while following a somewhat unusual fitness routine early one morning. The man was first spotted running through traffic and a number of people alerted police to his curious behaviour. Before the police could take action however the man was run over and killed, while doing sit-ups in the middle of a busy road. For some inexplicable reason, the man had opted to carry out his fitness regime while completely naked.
