The rope is level forward and backward
Many young people love street fitness. The cool space walks and human flags like superhumans are all admirable... In Yangfushan Park, Wenzhou City, there is a sports expert "Ms. Zhou" who is over 60 years old. Can play, not only can do horizontal support on the single parallel bars, but also hang 16 pieces of barbell weighing 80 catties on the legs to do pull-ups on the rings, make the human flag on the poles, and climb up to ten meters high. Hanging down, the long thin rope dangles the body flat like a trapeze, attracting visitors' amazement.
Mastering every new action, "Ms. Zhou" posted a video record on Douyin.
Some people questioned his strength after reading it, saying that the weight on his feet may be deceptive, maybe just something like a bubble.
In this regard, he invited the "old irons" to have time to check the authenticity on the spot, or to experience it on the spot, and said that he would accept everyone's challenges at any time.
Right-angle support on parallel bars
Play from the ground to the air
Specially learn from the master of the acrobatic troupe
Wenzhou Yangfushan Park is now a paradise for sports enthusiasts. Every day there are countless people running, walking and climbing here.
On a platform near the top of the mountain on the climbing trail, there are fitness equipment such as single and parallel bars set up by the sports department, and bodybuilders hanging ropes from trees according to local conditions. "Ms. Zhou" said that he is a "pioneer" here. .
"My family lives in Shangdoumen, about ten minutes away from here, so I went to exercise here ten years ago." "Ms. Zhou" name Zhou Huirong, 62 years old this year.
He liked weightlifting when he was young, and participated in the Wenzhou Games in the 1970s and 1980s.
Later, I ran a lighter factory, busy with business, and gradually deteriorated.
It wasn't until ten years ago that the factory ceased to operate, and it was actively involved in sports again.
Recalling that when I first came to the park, there was no trail construction at the foot of the mountain. The most active sport everyone engaged in was mountain climbing. "At first, I went home after climbing. Later, I thought I could add more exercise on the mountain, so I made a slope halfway up the mountain. Organize, combine sticks, ropes, rings, etc. with surrounding trees to design a simple'gym' on the mountain to practice strength."
With the rising of national fitness, Yangfushan Park has been rebuilt many times. The outdoor fitness spot on the mountain has been replaced with shotguns. Zhou Huirong has also laid a solid foundation. From the ground to the air, his physical fitness is better than when he was young.
Hang 16 pieces of 5 catties weight barbell plates with both feet, pull up on the lifting ring, mix the front and back horizontal support and double moment arms on the horizontal bar, and grab the iron rod with both hands to make the human body flag... These actions that I never thought about before, now Can be achieved one by one.
Human body banner on hardcore
The most difficult part of all the movements is to do front and back leveling on a rope that is not fixed at one end.
First, you have to climb up to five or six meters high on a long rope hanging from a ten-meter-high tree, and then the arm is tightened to hang the body horizontally.
Zhou Huirong watched a lot of videos on the Internet but didn’t grasp it, so he asked a local acrobatic troupe in Wenzhou for advice, “They can only talk about how to do it, but they want to demonstrate. Now no one can do it. After I returned, I kept thinking about it. Finally succeeded before."
Every move learned
Record the video and record the growth with Douyin
In the past ten years, Zhou Huirong has gone up the mountain almost every day.
Sometimes in the morning, sometimes in the afternoon, sometimes in the evening, go there to exercise for an hour after finishing the work.
Every time you exercise, these difficult movements can always attract the attention of tourists and bodybuilders going up and down the mountain.
Some watched the excitement for a while and then left, some were interested and asked, and then they stayed.
Now, there are nearly a hundred people practicing on this venue with Zhou Huirong.
Most of the people who came in the morning were locals, and most of the migrant workers who came in the afternoon and evening came here to sweat after work in the factory.
Skills should be based on strength.
These people are all zero-based. After three or four years of training here, several people in their forties and 50s can now make human flags.
Hang 16 barbells on the ring for pull-ups
"I admire myself very much. People in their 50s can do handstands and human flags, but those in their 40s on the mountain can't do it." Huang Changsong met "Ms. Zhou" during a mountain climbing, and has been practicing with him for two years now. Many, "I’m in a business. I’m usually busy and can’t come every day, but I still get a lot of rewards. The figure now is the one that girls like—the style of dressing, the flesh when undressing, and if I can get fatter It might be more perfect for a few catties."
Whenever he learns a new and difficult action, Zhou Huirong will record the video and use the vibrato to record his growth.
"Some people praised it, and some netizens left a message and questioned the authenticity of the action after reading it. I invited them to come and have a look at some time, because the fake is not true."
As a result, many "old irons" from the province and other provinces really came here.
When they saw Zhou Huirong hanging a 28 kg kettlebell with both feet doing pull-ups, they all admired them very much, and the soft rope used its own strength to make the body hang flat. So far, no one has tried successfully.
Life is a one-way train. Exercise makes people feel happy and keeps young. "My age is better than my peers, and even surpasses many young people. Strong core strength helps reduce the chance of injury and slow down aging. I am The high-altitude maneuvers are dangerous and difficult, so you don’t have to imitate them, but you must move in the usual core training."
