Want a silly yet effective way to reach the daily physical activity targets? Try the British comedy troupe Monty Python’s Teabag walk.<\/p>\n

For their study, published<\/a> in the Christmas issue of The BMJ (British Medical Journal), a team of researchers sought to compare the energy expenditures in low- and high-efficiency walking. In this case, the low-efficiency walking styles were the Putey walk and the Teabag walk from the iconic Ministry of Silly Walks sketch by Monty Python.<\/p>\n

The Teabag and Putey styles of walking had been analyzed before, the researchers said, noting that both walks were found to be “more variable” than normal walking. However, the energy expenditures of those walks hadn’t been measured before.<\/p>\n

The researchers explained, the global physical inactivity<\/a> rates “have not budged in the past 20 years.” Cardiovascular disease rates, on the other hand, have actually “doubled since 1990.”<\/p>\n

“To counter this problem, we propose PEMPA\u2014practice of effort maximization in physical activity,” they wrote. “We take our lead from the so far unrecognized scientific genius of Monty Python’s Ministry of Silly Walks, in which Mr. Teabag considers a proposal to fund the promotion of Mr. Putey’s inefficient walking technique alongside other inefficient styles of walking.”<\/p>\n

One can see the “silly walks” in the video below.<\/p>\n
