Chinese Students Fight Smog With Kung Fu Aerobics
A school administrator says the workout can detoxify lungs and dispel residue gas.
A school in one of the most smog-ridden Chinese cities has a new strategy: kung fu aerobics.
The two-minute workout includes 23 moves designed by Huanqiang Wei, deputy dean of Guangming Road Primary School in Shijiazhuang. Wei believes two of the moves -- pressing an acupuncture point and breathing into the belly -- are especially effective in defending the body against poor air quality.
