You could feel sick. You won’t be surprised to know that when you exercise, you raise your heart rate for a period of time. While it’s great to get that blood flowing, it’s just as important to get your heart rate back to a normal level after the workout is over.
Your muscles will likely become stiffer and sorer. When you exercise your muscles, it produces lactic acid (乳酸), which is actually what causes your muscles to become sore.

3 . These days, videos of “ diving grandpas” from north China’s Tianjin are popular on the Internet. In the videos, they jumped off the Shizilin Bridge into the 7-meter-deep Haihe River. However, on Wednesday, they announced that they would give up the sport.
With an average age of 60, the diving grandpas have much experience in diving. They started as a group of local diving lovers. They went swimming in the city’s rivers, and later they tried their hand at diving. The hobby has now lasted for more than thirty years.
Videos on the Internet have drawn lots of tourists from across the country to the Shizilin Bridge over the Haihe River, where “diving grandpas” perform diving. However, some inexperienced divers, trying to follow“ diving grandpas”, have met with accidents and got themselves injured.

5 . One runner didn’t let the French government’s order to remain indoors prevent him from training for a marathon during the coronavirus pandemic (新冠疫情). Last week, Elisha Nochomovitz, a 32- year-old restaurant worker, ran the length of a marathon on his 23-oott long balcony (阳台). And he did it in six hours and 48 minutes, a personal record nearly double that of his previous finished time.
“My only pleasure is running, no matter what the time" Nochomovitz. who lives in the French, city of Balma near Toulouse told CNN. He devoted his run to medical staff working through this pandemic, who he felt were “dong an extraordinary job". Although Nochomovitz had run 36 marathons, he said his balcony marathon was the most challenging. Due to the short length of the balcony, Nochomovitz was unable to gain any quantity of motion or speed as he had to constantly turn back and forth. He said he ran about 3, 000 laps. Luckily, Nochomovitz said his girlfriend was there to support him, feeding him M&M's and Coca Cola to help him refuel as he ran.
Though his balcony is nothing like the streets of Barcelona, where he was supposed to run the marathon on March 15 before it got canceled, Nochomovitz said the experience was worthwhile. Some people. he said, even reached out to say they were inspired by him.
French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe announced on March 14 that the country would be closing all places that are not essential to French living, which includes restaurants, cafes and clubs.

7 . New research shows that daily light walking is important for maintaining health as you age. But if you can’t hit 10,000 steps, don't worry. There's nothing magical about the number 10,000.
In fact, the idea of walking at least 10,000 steps a day for health goes back decades to a marketing campaign started in Japan to promote a pedometer(计步器).And then, it was adopted in the US as a goal to promote good health.
"The original basis of the number was not scientific." says researcher I-Min Lee of Brigham and Women’s Hospital. She was curious to know how many steps you need to take a day to maintain good health and live a long life, so she and her colleagues designed a study. It turns out that women who took about 4,000 steps per day got an increase in longevity(寿命), compared with women who took fewer steps. “It was sort of surprising,” Lee says. Another surprise: the benefits of walking maxed out at about 7,500 steps. In other words, women who walked more than 7,500 steps per day saw no additional increase in longevity.
“ I love this study. I think it’s really good news for women who may not be very active. All they have to do is walk,” says Kathleen Janz, who studies how physical activity influences health at the University of Iowa. And Janz says that’s encouraging. Another thing Janz notes is that this study only measured walking. It didn’t measure things that don’t require steps, like gardening, swimming or biking.
So, if 10,000 steps has been feeling out of reach to you, it may be time to reset those factory settings on your fitness tracker. Instead, try to hit at least 4,400 a day, along with daily activities that you enjoy. And stick to it.

Playing sports may be the better and most appropriate way to keep people fit in their life. Some people like basketball, while some like cycling. For some, swimming is his favorite sport, while for others, they can’t imagine their life with the gym. I have a strong preference for table tennis. I get to know table tennis at the ten when I watched a table tennis match on TV. It was so thrilling what I couldn’t move my eye away. Table tennis is an absolute fantastic sport. Apart from strengthen my body, it can enhance my willpower as well. Table tennis is really an interesting sport and I expect more people join in the fun.
