Collective health maintenance

I promised some pictures from my daily morning exercise jaunt. This gives some idea of the variety of people who are out exercising between 6 and 7 every morning.

This is a group playing a pick-up game of soccer, they are setting up the "goal posts".



There is also the karate lesson.

Then there are a couple of really organized groups that exercise to music with set movements.


This group is quite impressive, exercising with fans, and sometimes with swords:

We are also fascinated by this game, which seems to be common throughout Asia:




There are many that make their own exercise program. In addition to this woman jumping rope, there is one older woman who spends half an hour every morning bouncing a ball with her knees.

But then, most of us just walk briskly or jog along the sidewalks on either side of the grass mall, everyone going the same way on the same side.
