A kind British tourist taught local kids some advanced gym exercises using only a rope.

Santino, from London, works as a personal fitness trainer and visited the island with his girlfriend, Sophia, where they met the youngsters while exploring the beach.

Footage shows Santino demonstrating inverted aerial sit-ups while hanging on a rubber rope he tied to a coconut tree on January 31.

He asked one of the teenagers to try it and guided him on the correct posture.

Santino then gave the boys tension bands and showed them how to do squats without special equipment.

They did more stretching with Sophia watching. The other locals teased their friends while they worked out on the island of Siargao in Surigao del Norte, the Philippines.

Sophia said: 'Simple moments like that are the best. We went to the beach, and those teenagers said hi to us, so my boyfriend asked if they wanted to join his workout.'
