When I was young, I liked sports, running, playing basketball, football, table tennis, badminton, volleyball, and everything. I have to say that before the age of 30, people have good physical functions in all aspects. At that time, they don't feel any exercise. Even if they are tired, they will be OK after a sleep, and they will be resurrected with full blood.
When I am in my 30s, my body is blessed. Looking at the growing beer belly, my cervical spine is not very good, and the uric acid is also quite high, basically between 500-600, but gout has not occurred. Finally, I decided to exercise. When I was young, I felt tired of playing sports, so I chose to play tennis and swimming. The world's top medical journal The Lancet once published an article saying that tennis is the best elbow swing sport, and swimming is the best whole body relaxation sport.
I play tennis basically about three times a week, mainly with some friends who play tennis. We have a WeChat group, and everyone is free to make appointments with each other. Saturday and Sunday mornings are mandatory. From Monday to Friday, we will spare 1 to 2 days after get off work to play one or two games. Sometimes regional games are also organized. Not many people play tennis, but this thing is very addictive. A golfer once said that tennis is a green opium, which shows that everyone loves tennis.
I swim basically more than three times a week in summer and at least twice a week in winter. In summer, I mainly focus on wild swimming, swimming in artificial lakes or large reservoirs, looking at the blue water and blue sky above my head, I feel very comfortable. I can swim 5 kilometers at a time. Of course, this is the result of continuous exercise. I also signed up for 15 kilometers cross-country swimming, but I didn't get the ranking.
After keeping exercising for a period of time, I feel that my physical condition is very good. My weight has been reduced from 160 to 130. The beer belly is gone. Instead, I have flat abdominal muscles. I am full of energy all day long. I only wear a T-shirt in the early winter. , I don’t catch a cold. My friends all admire and admire my figure and self-discipline. I am also very satisfied with my condition. Sometimes when I see my buddies who were with me, I advise them to exercise more and tell them that exercise is good for their health. And through sports, I also opened up my circle of friends and met many like-minded friends from all walks of life.When you have something to do, you can turn over the circle. Everyone is a buddy. It's very convenient to get things started.
Years are not forgiving, and time flies quickly. This kind of rhythm is more than ten years in a flash, and I am almost fifty. Several things have happened in recent years, which make me more worried. . The first one is whether my knees and elbow joints start to hurt. I feel that it has a lot to do with playing tennis. Tennis often needs to change positions and postures. I often stop and get up quickly and cause great damage to the knee joints. The second is that my urination is not very smooth. The first time I felt that I had a stomach of beer that day, but I couldn’t urinate when I went home at night. I went to the toilet countless times and changed various sleeping positions when I came back, but I just couldn’t get out. I squeezed out a little bit of urine after sleeping until dawn. Oh, this process is very painful. Since then, I have had several beer drinking experiences, and I don’t dare to drink beer anymore. I usually urinate very slowly and take a long time.
The third one I think is the most serious is my heartbeat problem. When I was 30 years old, my heartbeat was basically around 60 beats. After I was 40 years old, my heartbeat slowly went down. At first it was 55,54, and then it was below 50. My current heartbeat is 44 beats per minute. .
Although I feel nothing right now, my heart and lungs and other organs are functioning normally. I'm quite good at eating, two steamed buns for a meal or a big bowl of rice. I have quit smoking for 10 years. When I was young, I could drink four glasses of liquor, but now I don’t drink it often. Basically, I only drink two glasses every time I work and socialize.
The above is the basic situation of my exercise for more than ten years. It can be said that exercise and fitness have played a positive role in me. It has made me feel happy, physically strong, muscular, and light. But everyone has to go through birth, old age, sickness and death, and there is a process from birth, growth, maturity, to decline and death. From my personal experience, the human body reaches the peak of various physiological functions around the age of 30. From 30 to 40, it can be regarded as a relatively slow plateau period. But after the age of 40, the human body basically enters the downward channel, and it is obvious every five years. This year, the running has not been so fast, and the swing will be less agile next year.Later, white hair increased, wrinkles covered the corners of the eyes, black spots and patches began to appear on the face, in short, we had to accept, we began to grow old.
Therefore, as we age, human body functions decline. We may not feel too old in our hearts, because the friends playing with us are still there, and our life is still on the same track to continue its inertia, we still want to play and eat, and eat. It just feels like the young people around me are growing.
We want to maintain our healthy skin and fit body through exercise, and maintain our optimistic state and upward spirit. There is nothing wrong with this. However, judging from my behavioral habits of persisting in exercising for more than ten years, people still need to choose the exercise method that belongs to their own age group after they are 40 years old. This is very important, rather than continuing to maintain the exercise habits when you were young! As the age increases year by year, the more you want to maintain the original state, you will have to put in more energy and effort than before, but this effort is quietly overdrawing your body and slowly hurting you.
Actually, we can also see from the radio and television that some bodybuilding champions often perform on stage. They are muscular and streamlined and have very strong cardiopulmonary functions. People in their 50s and 60s have few white hairs and wrinkles on their faces. Rarely, wearing sunglasses to cover the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes, that aura is definitely not lost to a handsome guy. However, their large-volume exercises all year round eventually caused permanent damage to the body. Some reports of bodybuilders' untimely deaths also appeared on the Internet and newspapers occasionally, which made people sigh. Of course, there is no absolute in everything. We are not saying that fitness is definitely harmful to the body. We are advocating moderate exercise, not overloading exercise, and not demanding the current body according to the standards of the year.
Therefore, after the age of 40, I suggest that you mainly focus on soft exercise and health exercise, supplemented by physical exercise and endurance exercise. I suggest to choose some Tai Chi, Baduanjin, square dance, jogging, or table tennis, billiards, diabolo, etc. The amount of exercise is relatively small, or the exercise time is relatively short, you can take some of the items freely. For fitness, don’t just play a basketball game or a tennis game without rest for half an hour.Swimming can't be greedy for long distances. If you are not exhausted, you should not go ashore. All behaviors must follow the laws of nature and stop in moderation. Only in this way can exercise and fitness be used for yourself, for the body, and for the spirit.
Finally, I wish you all scientific exercises, health and happiness forever!
