Radio calisthenics extravaganza gets the blood pumping ahead of this week's National Fitness Day celebrations

China's annual National Fitness Day returns on Thursday, with the nation getting into shape like never before.

As a warm-up for the celebration, a demonstration of radio calisthenics - synchronized group exercise performed to broadcast music or instruction - was staged in Xi'an, Shaanxi province, last Saturday, attracting 52 teams from across the country.
