Excercise


The Tai Chi photo was taken in the Temple of Heaven park in Beijing. This was a common site in parks wherever we went. The Chinese take their exercise seriously. We saw elderly woman out walking who were also moving their arms to get their heart rates up. Playgrounds had equipment that you might find in a gym only it was built to last forever. We saw lots of adults using them. And then the dancing. Well, you just can't find better exercise. Again, the photo was taken in the Temple of Heaven park. The music sounded like a polka, but I don't think it was. Some of the dancers were quite good. With limited space in their homes, when you want to dance or exercise you go outdoors.
