surf

1. Benefits and effects

Surfing can be exhilarating. Because surfing requires carrying a surfboard and swimming against the current until you reach a steeper wave, then, as the wave approaches, you forcefully push off the water while lying on the surfboard, quickly swimming towards the shore. This unique sport can evoke passion and ecstasy, and the body experiences a distinctive kind of enjoyment. Therefore, it can be said that surfing is an excellent sport that combines strength and beauty, health and fitness.

2. Practice Methods

(1) Surfers can generally use a long, narrow horseboard or a shorter belly board, or even surf with their arms raised overhead and their whole body straight without a board.

(2) Surfers can also achieve good weight loss by lying on a large surfboard and paddling like a duck.

3. Precautions

Because surfing is a highly challenging and dangerous sport, it is essential to pay close attention to safety and take necessary protective measures.

climb mountains

1. Benefits and effects

Hiking is a type of aerobic exercise that can provide muscles with up to 10 times more oxygen than usual, increase blood protein levels, and boost the number of immune cells. Notably, hiking not only promotes metabolism but also accelerates fat burning. Hiking at a speed of 2 kilometers per hour for 30 minutes can burn approximately 500 calories, equivalent to swimming for 45 minutes or doing 50 minutes of monotonous exercise at the gym.

2. Precautions

(1) Elderly people and those with weaker constitutions should do about 10 minutes of warm-up exercises before climbing mountains.

(2) During the climb, regardless of the length of the journey, you should gradually increase the intensity according to a certain breathing frequency. Under normal circumstances, the heart rate should be maintained at 120 to 140 beats per minute.

(3) When going uphill, it is best to lean forward and use trekking poles, which is also a very good way to save energy.

(4) When going downhill, you can walk in a zigzag pattern, which saves energy and protects your knee joints from impact.

Take a spicy bath

1. Benefits and effects

Spicy baths involve soaking in water made with chili peppers and ginger. This type of bath raises body temperature, thus helping to reduce fat.

2. Practice (Production) Method

(1) Chili bath

① Depending on the amount of water, take 5 to 10 chili peppers (red or green).

② Cut the chili peppers into small rings, mix them with orange peel, put them in an old stocking or gauze, and soak them in hot water.

③ For those who are worried about it being too irritating to the skin, you can add a little vinegar, which can make the water more gentle.

(2)Ginger bath

① Take one or two pieces of ginger and air dry them in a cool place first, so that they are less likely to irritate the skin.

② Grind the ginger into a paste, take about 40 grams, put it in a gauze to filter and squeeze out the ginger juice, then pour it into hot water.

③ For those who feel they don't have a "fever" enough, ginger can be placed directly into the water.

3. Precautions

Since spicy baths are made by soaking in spicy foods, if the concentration is not properly adjusted, it is very likely to damage the skin. Therefore, it is important to adjust the concentration of the bath water.
