You're in Zurich on business and want to grab some exercise between meetings. There's one option that lets you work out without working up a lather. Bluetrail, a 1.6-km-long exercise path starting in Bürkliplatz in the Swiss city's business district, was designed to get everyone moving, even men in suits. The trail's blue panels display gentle Tai Chi and qigong-like exercises. Communications agency owner David Güggenbuhl, who worked with Chinese doctors to develop Bluetrail, says, "One requirement was that these exercises could be done in a suit and tie without looking ridiculous." Certainly, nobody snickers when local architect David Marquardt, 38, drops his briefcase and performs a series of slow, graceful movements. And after finishing the 10th of 16 activities, he declares, "I feel like my body and spirit are in unison."
