As a director, Zhang yimou directed not only the eight-minute art show at the closing ceremony of the 2004 Athens Olympics, but also the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2008 Beijing Olympics and Paralympics. Zhang Yimou also became the first director of the Beijing Winter Olympics. In the interview, Zhang Yimou was quite satisfied with the final performance of the Opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics and got full marks.

 

At the age of 72, Zhang Yimou still doesn't seem old. He has a creative mind and doesn't look like an old man. What is more important is that he has always maintained his exuberant work energy, which makes many young people feel inferior.

 

Many people want to know about Zhang Yimou's regimen.

 

In 2020, actor Zhang Yi said in an interview with the media that Although Zhang yimou is 70 years old, he doesn't live like an old man. The daily work schedule is intense and full, and the degree of diligence puts actor Zhang Yi to shame.

 

According to Zhang Yi, Director Zhang Yimou sleeps only three hours a day and works almost all the time after opening his eyes. He only eats one meal every day when he is busy, but he runs more than five kilometers every day.

 

On February 14, Chen Ting, the wife of director Zhang Yimou, also posted on her microblog zhang's daily routine in preparation for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Winter Olympics, noting that zhang had to walk 5 kilometers every day to sweat when his body was in desperate need of rest.

 

From Zhang's daily routine, we can see that no matter how busy he is, Zhang can't do without exercising every day!

 

This is worth learning because there are so many benefits to staying active!

 








Keep moving, there are many benefits!


 

1. Exercise can prolong life

A 2020 study published in The Lancet Global Health noted that at least 3.9 million people around the world avoid premature death each year by being physically active.

 

2. Exercise slows muscle loss

In 2012, the international Journal of Gerontology, "Advances in Muscle Decay Syndrome" reported that after the age of 30, muscle loss of 1 to 5 percent per year; After 60 years old, muscle strength decreases by 3~5% per year; After the age of 70, the strength of older women decreases by 50 to 70 percent. Muscle loss of 30 per cent affects normal function and loss of 40 per cent is life-threatening. 


3. Exercise can reduce the risk of cancer

A 2016 National Cancer Institute study found that adults who were the most physically active had an average 7 percent lower risk of developing cancer than those who were the least physically active.

Those who exercised the most, walking briskly for more than an hour a day on average, were 42 percent less likely to develop esophageal cancer, 27 percent less likely to develop liver cancer and 23 percent less likely to develop kidney cancer. Gastric cancer, endometrial cancer and myelogenous leukemia were also reduced by more than 20 percent. It also reduced the risk of myeloma, colon, head and neck, rectum, gallbladder and breast cancer by 10 to 20 percent, and reduced the risk of lung cancer by 26 percent in smokers.

 

4. Exercise can keep cardiovascular disease away

Exercise can also protect you from the number one health killer, cardiovascular disease.

According to a 2016 study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, swing sports like table tennis, tennis and badminton topped the list for cardiovascular protection, followed by swimming and aerobic exercise.

The study found that swinging, swimming and aerobic exercise were associated with a 56 percent, 41 percent and 36 percent reduction in cardiovascular death rates, respectively.

 

5.Exercise, can lose weight, improve the three high

There is no doubt that exercise can reduce weight, and it is recommended to combine aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise.

Aerobic exercise is good for losing weight. When the weight is controlled, it can promote the control of blood pressure, regulate blood lipids and control diabetes, and improve the physical condition. 

6. Exercise improves sleep

Poor sleep quality is a problem that most people struggle with right now, and exercise can help you sleep better.

The book insomnia, published by China Medical Science and Technology Press, points out that exercise is one of the effective ways to regulate sleep for people who often suffer from insomnia. If insomnia patients can adhere to running, doing exercises, practicing taijiquan, after a time of physical exercise, will play a good regulatory role in the excitement and inhibition process of the nervous system, to restore normal sleep to establish a good cycle, so as to fundamentally eliminate insomnia.

 

7. Exercise can improve cardiopulmonary function

Exercise is also known to improve your heart and lungs, especially aerobic exercise.

Aerobic exercise is the first choice to improve cardiopulmonary function. Common exercises include brisk walking, jogging, biking, mountain climbing and swimming, and 15 to 20 minutes are recommended at least three times a week, said Zhu Yuqi, chief orthopedic surgeon at the Eye Hospital of China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, in an article posted on his personal public platform account in 2019.

 







Make exercise a habit and remember these three things!

 

Want to develop good exercise habits, need to pay attention to the following aspects.

 

1. Before exercise: Warm up

Usually, about 10 minutes of exercise can be prepared by jogging, stretching the upper limbs, waist flexion and extension, waist rotation, squatting and other movements, so that the muscle blood circulation is accelerated, quickly into the state of exercise. 


2. During exercise: Communicate by sweating slightly

Wang Luyan, deputy chief physician of the Heart Center of Peking University People's Hospital, said in a lecture in 2018 that the real exercise to lose fat is moderate intensity exercise, and it has to be consistent to be effective. The ideal exercise prescription is 30 to 60 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise five days a week.

 

Medium intensity motion is moved namely when "feel laboured but not very overworked", specific expression is the respiration frequency in motion quicken, heartbeat quicken, persprer slightly, small wheeze but can communicate with the person, with heart rate not more than "170-age" advisable.

It's important to note that walking doesn't meet the requirements of moderate intensity, which is why so many people show "10,000 steps" on their phones each day with little success. Of course, moving is better than nothing.

 

3. After exercise: Do a cold workout

Liu Peizhong, deputy chief physician of the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Guangdong Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Zhuhai Hospital, wrote in Health Times in 2019 that after exercise, you can first do cold body exercise by jogging, fast walking and other ways.

Cold body exercise can slow down the rapid heartbeat to a safe level, relax muscles, eliminate fatigue as soon as possible, promote physical recovery, reduce muscle soreness after exercise.

In addition, within 1 hour after strenuous exercise, it is generally not recommended to overeat (can drink appropriate amount of water, eat biscuits and other easily digestible food), take a bath, sleep, etc. At this time, the blood supply and function of the viscera have not been fully restored, such as gastrointestinal function, liver and kidney function.
