An exercising construction worker abs-olutely stole the show during a college baseball game on Monday.<\/p>\n

Toward the end of the Cal Baptist vs. UCSB tilt at Caesar Uyesaka Stadium in Santa Barbara, cameras captured a crane operator getting in a quick workout at the top of his heavy duty machine.<\/p>\n

The man \u2013 wearing a helmet, orange vest, jeans and boots \u2014 could be seen\u00a0lifting his legs repeatedly in what looked like an effort to strengthen his core.<\/p>\n

With the game being a bit of a blowout in the top of the ninth inning (8-3 in Cal Baptist\u2019s favor), the matchup\u2019s broadcasters spent a few moments honing in on the unique sight.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes,\u201d one said. \u201cLeg lifts.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s awesome,\u201d another added.<\/p>\n

The two then praised the guy for \u201ctaking advantage of your off time\u201d while hitting 90 degrees on the exercise.<\/p>\n

The crane and its operator were on scene as part of UCSB\u2019s efforts to build more student housing<\/a> on campus. And while the exercise break might have delayed progress on the project a few minutes, based on the tens of thousands of views and the hundreds of playful comments on the video, it doesn\u2019t seem too many will have issues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An exercising construction worker abs-olutely stole the show during a college baseball game on Monday.
