Beijing government employees to resume group workouts

　　Millions of government employees are set to resume group exercises at work next month, three years after the practice was stopped due to the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the Beijing Federation of Labor Unions announced Tuesday.

　　The federation said the initiative involves 4 million employees at government organizations and institutions.

　　Beijing Sports Radio Station (FM102.5) will broadcast the exercise tunes every day at 10 am and 3pm starting on August 9.

　　The federation's deputy president, Yu Junsheng, said they hoped that activities such as yoga and Taiji could be included.

　　An employee from a state-owned enterprise said that taking a break at work to exercise is a good way to relax and it benefits the employees both mentally and physically.

　　China first started the special radio program to accompany the exercise routines in 1952, and it was updated every five to 10 years.
