Easy Fitness Exercise for All

V/O:

To encourage people to do more physical exercise, the Leisure and Cultural Services Department invited the Physical Fitness Association of Hong Kong, China to design a fitness routine, named “Easy Fitness Exercise for All”. Simple and easy to learn, the routine consists of eight exercises which can be done anytime, anywhere.
