This is interesting, it reminds me of the (sort of) famous "tree hanging" exercise. Which goes like this. Go to a wooded area, find a tree with a strong branch above your head. Grab it and hang off it for a while. Do it daily for a brief time.
Supposedly this exercise helps in all sorts of problems that arise in a sedentary lifestyle (hands, arms, back etc).
Now, the only problem with doing it here is that most trees here are pines and strong branches start 20m above the ground...

Then you can do some ab exercises.
