Now we are all talking about the benefits of exercise and fitness, and life lies in exercise. Now, there are many kinds of fitness exercises. Different from ancient times, recreational sports were monotonous and tasteless, and people at that time did not know about it. But no matter what age, there are always some people who have long recognized the importance of exercise for physical maintenance.
Zeng Guofan asked himself, his family and the army to get up early. Eat before dawn, and after dinner, the army will practice without fighting. His requirement for his son is to take a walk every morning. Then take at least 1000 steps after meals. In his opinion, walking more is good for health, better than taking medicine. At that time, there might not be running as an exercise, so everyone regarded walking as a kind of exercise.
Look at Empress Dowager Cixi again. At that time, women were in the deep palace, pampered, delicious and drunk, and too lazy to walk around. There is always a maid-in-waiting to help you go out, or take a sedan chair. Although their makeup is beautiful and exquisite, they may not be able to walk effectively without those ladies' sedan chairs.
Seeing the Empress Dowager Cixi in the book is also strict with self-discipline. In addition to the exquisite facial maintenance every day, one thing she must do is to take a walk. I started walking at dawn in the morning and walked again in the afternoon. She also told herself that she must keep walking every day, which is the way to keep healthy.
She is full of energy every day. Think about how many women knew the benefits of exercise at that time. But she understood at that time and insisted on doing it every day.
It seems that we are all learning from the ancients now. Life lies in exercise, which is good for physical and mental health. This is the eternal truth.
There is another person in the book, that is, the heavenly king Hong Xiuquan. This man is fearless and energetic when fighting for his country. But after he conquered the country, he lived in the heavenly palace. He told himself that from now on, he would enjoy life and never ask about war again.
Sure enough, he never stepped out of the palace again. The only time he went out was to the East Palace, and he regretted it when he came back. He feels that nowadays he does nothing but enjoy himself.
He has seventy-two official concubines and thousands of ladies-in-waiting. The dissolute life made him fat and tired when he walked. He walked too much. The fatter he is, the less he wants to move. He was very tired when he moved. When he is tired, he doesn't want to move at all.
He died young, less than fifty years old. Others think that he is full of heroism and a strong man. But at that time, he was bald, obese and depressed, just like an old man in his sixties. Even Zeng Guofan and foreigners were surprised to see him. Why did he become an old man?
In adversity and pain, the power of struggle will be particularly strong. But after the good times, how many people can remain cautious about themselves.
When a person is sick and in pain, he will naturally go to see a doctor. But people who look healthy generally think that they are healthy, will not get sick, and do not pay attention to how to maintain them. reach
People's lives are maintained by exercise. Physical exercise will make the body strong, resistant, not easy to get sick and full of energy. Mental exercise makes you more flexible, think clearly and stay away from mental illness.
My own running for more than a year also made me deeply realize the benefits brought by sports. Now a day without exercise is as uncomfortable as being tied up. As soon as I exercise, I feel full of strength and vitality.
Exercise is not difficult, whether it is running, yoga, walking or other ways. The hard part is persistence and perseverance. Some people say that it takes 2 1 day to form a habit. It seems that after 2 1 day, we can really stick to it.
In my opinion, it is not. It took 2 1 day to start, and it was not difficult to start anything. The hard part is the intermediate process. However, the middle process is not difficult to cross.
Life will not stop, nor will exercise. Exercise is a way of our daily life.
