more exercise

more street exercising in china. this is in beijing, but they have these things everywhere. first, my dad got on to exercise with the guy in the red glasses and speedo man. i guess i should explain why this guy is wearing a speedo out in the middle of public- we were at a very famous park that has a lake in the middle of it and some of the older people were swimming in it. it's pretty cold here right now, so they had to warm up first.


then speedo man got off the exercise equipment to go swim, but the other guy stayed on to teach my dad how to properly use it. unfortunately, my dad wasn't doing too well on it. he showed him to put his left leg out while his right hand was out and vice versa so you could get a good swinging motion going. he kept saying, "one two one two one two" in english.



then i decided to try it because i always see people using these things in dalian and had never tried it before. the guy got off of the equipment and gave us a land demonstration. it was a little harder than i thought it would be.


i finally got it down, and we were in unison for a while. he showed me that we could also move our hands back and forth like we were dancing. i think my dad had fallen off at this point ;)



super cool guy! he was 78 years old, wow.
