I saw a woman almost die in Italy

Sitting by the outdoor gym at Italy’s Papaya Beach, my girlfriend and I heard a faraway PLOP.

I turned to see a woman lying on the ground and another woman coming to her aid.

I would’ve gone to her myself, but I didn’t speak Italian, so I’d be useless, and there were already 3 other people on their way.

My girlfriend and I watched the situation from afar, still at the outdoor gym area.

After a while, it seemed like the woman wasn’t in any pain, but she wasn’t able to get up.

Just… chilling with her helpers while waiting for an ambulance.

As we walked by the group, I noticed 2 things that made everything make sense:

1. She spoke perfect English (U.S.)

2. She was overweight

“Oh… she’s American.”

Those were my exact thoughts as I shuddered to think about her future medical bills.

Not to be a total asshole, but… of course it’s an American who randomly falls to the ground and is too fat and weak to get up.

Don’t exercise to look good.

Exercise so you can pick yourself up from a tumble without waiting 40 minutes for an ambulance.

(Speaking of which, you can fit an effective workout into 40 minutes if you focus on patterns, not exercises.)

I’d recommend push ups and Turkish get ups, as those are optimal for getting you off the ground.

(By the way, you’d think there’d be more fat Italians with how damn good the food is.)

Okay, bye!
