Graceland in the autumn is full of the fragrance of osmanthus. The charm of autumn days extends from Baima Lake to pavilions at Wuzhen Graceland. For the weather turns colder and colder, it becomes more important to keep wellness. Besides healthy diet and lifestyle, proper exercise is also good to health.

Proper exercise does not only strengthen the body but also enhance the immunity. At Wuzhen Graceland, exercise has been an essential part of life. With neighbors, residents go outdoors to work out, getting healthier and winning friendship.

Early morning, the members of Graceland Morning Exercise Club make an appointment to come to college for exercise together. The health aerobic exercises are suitable for all ages to adjust the body and mind. The process of practice can help people dredge the meridians, unblock the qi and blood, and strengthen the body. Getting up for exercise in the morning for nearly 1 hour every day will make you full of energy throughout the day.

The members of Graceland Tai Chi Club have also insisted on getting up early for exercise. Tai Chi boxing or Tai Chi sword both could coordinate balance ability, improve body flexibility, as well as make body and mind more free.

Gradually, Tai Chi has become a daily necessity for many residents, bringing joy and power. Just as an aunt said, waking up in the morning, eating half full, and then practicing Tai Chi with everyone. After the exercise, you will feel refreshed all day long.

Walking into the gym, the screams and cheers on the playground make people feel like they have returned to the campus life. The members of Air Volleyball Club are full of energy， performing smash, agile block and precise dropping ball with all their hearts.

Compared with volleyball, air volleyball has a moderate amount of exercise and is easier to learn. It is not only fitness, but also leisure and entertainment. Join like-minded neighbors and friends in the gym to learn from each other, caring for each other as well as obtain self-confidence and happiness.

Playing table tennis is a favorite of many residents. When playing the game, not only the eyes and hands are required to be fast, but also the footsteps must be coordinated quickly.

In the Table Tennis Club of Graceland, everyone make friends through the ball. While exercising, they also maintain friendship. In addition, they also organize neighborhood friendly matches from time to time, and invite external table tennis associations for communicating. From the 50s to 80s, a small table tennis table connects the beautiful sports daily life of Graceland family.

In the afternoon, when you walk into the Ballroom Dance Club of Graceland, you can always be infected by the enthusiasm in it. Stepping on the rhythm, the whole body's motor cells seem to be mobilized.

Dancing ballroom dances can make joints more flexible and soft, strengthen bones, enhance cardiopulmonary function, and promote blood circulation. Ballroom dancing is also very inclusive, allowing us to meet more new friends. Whether they are familiar or not, together under music they’re "best partners".

At night, members who love to dance meet together to start a wonderful dancing time. The dance could be graceful and classical, or passionate and unrestrained, constantly changing styles.

"We almost practice every day, even if it is windy and rainy. We will make an appointment to dance together." Because of love, day-to-day practice has become a joy. In Graceland Dance Art Club, some members have a good foundation, and they are enthusiastic to help their neighbors who have just started. Some learn a new dance and share it with others. In addition to exercising, they are more about accompany each other.

Life lies in exercise. Sports bring a healthy body and a happy mood. The White Horse Lakeside, gym, gate court, children's play area, aerobic track, fitness facilities in the community... There are figures of us sweating and evidences of loving life. The sense of autumn is getting stronger, let's move together!
