Missoula Meets China

While touring China this month, I discovered the coolest way to keep a country healthy…er.

At several parks in both Kunming in Southwest China and in Nanchang in Southeast China, I observed numerous people working out on various exercise devices.

Some of the simplest devices yielded the greatest results, including exercises for the limbs, core, and balance. Amazing. Check out the pics of these neat exercise forms.

This guy is working the range of motion in his shoulders with this cool shoulder exercise device.

Here’s a woman and a child at a bar and attempting to get a hamstring stretch.

For some reason, I don’t think these types of exercise parks would go over too well in the US. Too bad. And think of the savings on monthly health club dues!
