1 . People believe that climbing can do good to health. Where can you learn the skill of climbing then? If you think that you have to go to the mountains to learn how to climb, you’re wrong. Many Americans are learning to climb in city gyms. Here, people are learning on special climbing walls. The climbing wall goes straight up and has small holding places for hands and feet.
How do people climb the wall? To climb need special shoes and a harness around your chest to hold you. There are ropes tied to your harness. The ropes hold you in place so that you don’t fall. A beginner’s wall is usually about 15 feet high, and you climb straight up. There are small pieces of metal that stick out for you to stand on and hold on to. Sometimes it’s easy to see the new piece of metal. Sometimes, it’s not. The most difficult is to control your fear. It’s normal for humans to be afraid of falling, so it’s difficult not to feel fear. But when you move away from the wall, the harness and the ropes hold you, and you begin to feel safe. You move slowly until you reach the top.
Climbing attracts people because it’s good exercise for almost everyone. You use your whole body, especially your arms and legs. This sport gives your body a complete workout. When you climb, both your mind and your body can become stronger.

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.

4 . 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.

In our school, a variety of elective course are available. I have taken the table tennis course, and it is an amazed experience. Play table tennis every week helps to build up my body and relieve my stress. With the teacher’s help, I have learned how to make the eyes, brain or muscles work together after a whole morning’s study. Besides, the table tennis course is also good for character develop. In games, I have learned to cooperate with others in doubles, who will help me to have team spirit in your future career.
