Liu Shuangyao, a fitness enthusiast, and his friends walk on the banks of the Labour Lake every day. To the accompaniment of music, dozens of people walk with a purpose and at a steady pace.

In order to increase the intensity of the exercise, Liu hung a small speaker on his waist, played rhythmic music and fixed his walking speed.
鈥淟ater there were more and more people following me,鈥 Liu said. The small speaker around Liu鈥檚 waist has brought together many people. Li Meng is one of them.

An hour of exercise will make me sweat a lot,鈥 34-year-old Li said. 鈥淓very day we exercise at a fixed time, one person and one position, it is easy to find who is not here,鈥 Liu said.
