3 . Walking is good for you.It’s good for your heart, for your lungs, for the muscle and bone growth of your children.Strong scientific evidence now supports the many benefits to health of regular walking.
Walking is connected with reduced death rates for both older and younger adults.In other words, walkers live longer!
In particular, walking has a great effect on cardiovascular disease(心血管病).Fit and active people have around half the risk of cardiovascular disease compared to unfit inactive people.
Even 10-minute walks can increase fitness.One study at Loughbrough University found that women walking continuously for 30 minutes 5 days a week had almost the same increases in fitness as women who divide their 30 minutes into three 10-minute walks.
The majority of studies of young people indicate falling participation in physical activity.Only half of 11-36-year-olds currently walk for ten minutes a day.Children in Britain walk 50 miles a year less than they did a decade ago.Around 20% of children can be classed as overweight.TV, computers, cultural changes and fears for children’s safety out of doors play a large part.
Walking offers a great way to help kids get the active habit.If parents express excitement about the prospect (前景) of a walk in the countryside, they are more likely to pass this feeling to their children.It’s important to treat the walk as an exploration or adventure and to go at the child’s pace, no matter how often they want to stop and look at things, take treats to eat and plenty to drink, and head for some landmarks that will attract them such as a castle, a playground, an ice cream car or a boating pond.If children experience walking as part of a fun activity, they are more likely to want to go again.

Lu You: chosho
As a noted productive poet, Lu You from the Song Dynasty wrote more than 20,000 poems in his lifetime. According to historical records, he lived to 85 years old, the longest living poet in the Song Dynasty.
However, Lu You was weak as a child. During his later years, Lu You started the body building called chosho. Chosho was quite popular in ancient times, which was not roaring or whistling, but an elegant, serious and skillful health method. People opened their body, breathed in deep and then breathed out with a long and loud cry in rhyme.
Su Dongpo: long run, five kilometers per day
The great Song Dynasty poet Su Dongpo, or Su Shi preferred to take long runs, and he thought that only by moving your body regularly could you have a strong body.
He would slow down when he breathed hard, and speed up when his breath balanced. Su Dongpo would run until he was sweaty, hot, blood circulating and limbs feeling refreshed.
Huyan Zan: cold bath
There was an annual festival in November during the early Tang Dynasty (618-907)called "Pouring cold", where a group of strong men, nearly bare, sang and danced in the street while crowds poured cold water on them. The festival, a sacrifice to god, was thought to be helpful to body building.
During the Song Dynasty, Huyan Zan recovered the tradition by removing the singing and dancing parts and keeping the pouring cold water part, as a way to exercise his kids' physical bodies.
