Gym job
Unemployed Germans are being sent to the gym to help them get fit for work.
The jobless have to work out for at least five hours a week in order to qualify for their benefits.
German job centre spokesman Joerg Kraeker believes it will keep the unemployed motivated when looking for work.
He said: "Chronic unemployment can make people prone to illness, but can also lead them to be pessimistic about their future job perspectives.
"Keeping them fit helps against this. It also increases their social contacts and boosts their self-confidence."
