5 . Even if you haven’t tried Pamela’s workouts, her name likely rings a bell -the German-born model is one of the world’s most popular fitness influencers. Lately, she’s been trying out something new: Baduanjin, a traditional Chinese fitness exercise, originally created over 800 years ago during the Song Dynasty. The name generally refers to how the eight individual movements characterize and give a silken quality to the movement of the body and its energy.

Baduanjin used to be popular mainly among older Chinese folks, but young people are now also getting into it. No equipment is necessary and it requires very little space or, perhaps most importantly in our fast-paced lives, time. In fact, it’s perfect for office workers, as they often suffer from lower back pain caused by hours sitting in front of the computer.

The video of Pamela doing Baduanjin has become a hit on Chinese social media, receiving millions of views. In addition to 9.68 million followers on YouTube, Pamela has established a presence on Chinese social media, including Bilibili, with more than 11.6 million followers. Showing her perfect figure year-round, Pamela has become an inspiration for many people worldwide, offering pathways to fat-burning, increased energy, and improved sleep quality.

Apparently, no one can resist the charm of Baduanjin. “I have been doing Baduanjin for about one month, which makes me sleep well and get stronger. I owe big thanks to Baduanjin since it gives me a much healthier lifestyle,” a young netizen commented below the video.

But not all people are suitable for practicing Baduanjin. Liu Xiaodan, an associate professor at Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, cautioned that people should always put safety first when doing Baduanjin, and patients who are extremely weak and fall easily should not take up this exercise.

Recently, a poll(民意调查) finds that although almost three in four adults played sports when they     1     (be) younger, only one in four continue to play sports as adults.

But that decline in interest doesn’t stop parents from encouraging their children to make sports a part of their lives.     2     fact, almost nine in ten parents     3     middle school or high school aged children play sports say that their children benefit     4     great deal or quite a bit from playing sports.

And, while most adults no longer play sports     5     (they), the majority of parents say it is very likely or somewhat likely that their children will continue playing sports when they become adults. One in four parents also hope their children will become     6     (profession)athletes.

“Sports are an important part of a healthy community. They help children and adults maintain a fit     7     (weigh), teach acceptance and teamwork, and expand opportunity for children     8     (live) in poverty(贫困),” said a researcher. “This poll     9     (indicate) that we must continue to encourage children to play sports, but just as important, we must find ways     10     (keep)adults engaged in sports in order to maintain health and well-being.”

More than 500 million people worldwide live with depression or anxiety disorders. It’s good news, then, that two new    1    (study) show that any type of regular physical exercise including walking, running, cycling or strength training—can help relieve symptoms(症状) of these conditions.

A University of Gothenburg clinical trial found that most patients    2    anxiety who participated in a 12-week strength training program saw major improvements—and the more actively people worked out,    3    more their anxiety symptoms lessened, For example, participants who exercised for an hour three times a week     4    reached 75 per cent of their maximum heart rate became more     5    (relax) than those who only attained 60 percent of their maximum heart rate.

To relieve depression, a basic    6    (solve) is to spend less time sitting, according to a study in Frontiers in Psychiatry. The researchers found that people who spent more time on the couch(长沙发)looking at screens     7    (be) more likely to be depressed than those who got up and moved more    8    (frequent) .

For both conditions, exercise may help ease symptoms by releasing feel-good chemicals called endorphins,    9    (stimulate) the growth of nerve cell connections in brain regions that regulate mood, and taking your mind off negative thoughts    10    fuel depression and anxiety.

10 . Swimming has been called the perfect exercise. After all, you can get all of the benefits of an aerobic (有氧的) workout without any damage to joints, and it can be done by both the very old and the very young.     1     — just you and the deep blue. So, let’s take a big breath, and dive into the benefits of swimming.

Full body workout.     2    . So, whether you swim a gentle breaststroke (蛙泳) or backbreaking butterfly, you will get a full body workout. Plus, exercising in water makes your bodywork harder, so, 30 minutes in a pool is worth 45 minutes of the same activity on land.

    5    . While all exercise can produce greater health and longevity, studies point to swimming as one of the best choices for doing so. Researchers at the University of South Carolina looked at 40, 547 men, aged 20 to 90, for over 32 years. The results showed that those who swam had a 50 percent lower death rate than runners, walkers, or men who didn’t exercise.
