The Chinese government announced the annual August 8 as the “National Fitness Day” to promote physical activities throughout the country. This move not only popularizes the concept of keeping fit around the nation, but also diversifies the methods of taking exercise. Every morning, senior citizens who are in favor of outdoor activities congregate in the park to do exercise, such as tai chi, ribbon dancing, and the like. Low-impact public fitness facilities and fresh air in the park suit them well. On the contrary, young people initiate an indoor fitness fad. They prefer fancy gyms to outdoor activities. In their eyes, fancy gyms are not only fashionable but also dynamic.
