Proof That Chinese Grandparents Are More Athletic Than You

It's amazing to watch these Chinese grandparents work up a sweat and get fit in the park. You won't believe how flexible they are.

I see this all the time when I go to my hotel in China, they come out at like 6 am and excersise at the park!

I wish it was more like this here. In my efforts to exercise in public the vibe I get is like I am perceived as doing something inappropriate, or causing a spectacle, or asking for trouble, or showing off, or being immature. Even when there is a pull-up bar at the park people act like it is something outrageous, bold or even menacing to see someone exercising with any vigour. This should change we should have outdoor public exercise stations at all parks big and small and encourage people to use them.

kind of explains why avg American and Chinese have almost the same life span while American's health care expense is 22 times more

I have crossed several regions in China. It doesn't matter if your in a city or small village, touristic or not. It doesn't matter the day of the week or time, you'll see the same all over China. Its not they are obliged by government or trying to win a medal, its just that is part of their culture to move Qi energy in body in order to remain healthy. They know if they stop this they become screw and totally depending on hospitals and medical care. Traditional chinese medicine still gives responsibility to their lifestyle patients instead of prescribing instantly surgery and drugs. Yet this is changing as the younger generations getting more attracted by western lifestyle. This is the main reason why you see more old people in the park, not just because they are retired, since most of them go early before going to work. New generations think its cooler to go the gym. I guess time will tell if they become more screw or not, yet looking to our example my bet would be their going to the same crooked path. Or maybe not :)
