Discussion keeps the world turning This is Roundtable August 8th is National Fitness Day in China,
but for millions of people in the country, staying active has already become a daily habit.
From sunrise park goers to late night gyms, from cycling clubs to square dancing
and smart fitness apps, everybody seems to be doing something.
So what actually turns exercise from a chore into something you stick with for life?
We're live from our studios here in Beijing.
This is Roundtable.
I'm Steve Hatherly.
Thanks for being with us today.
And for the show, I'm with Fei-Fei and Yushan.
First up.
August 8th marks China's National Fitness Day, but it's about much more than simply breaking a sweat.
From packed parks at sunrise to late night gyms, from marathons
and cycling clubs to square dancing in the park and smart fitness apps,
staying active has become a part of everyday life for millions of people.
As fitness becomes more accessible and more social too, I'd say,
it's also changing the way people think about health and community and perhaps even happiness.
So what does the growing fitness culture take to turn exercise into a lifelong habit?
Fei-Fei and Yuxian, good afternoon.
Is exercise for you a lifelong habit?
