Insist on exercising every day, and dabble in a wide range when you are young
Zhengguan News Reporter:Why are you able to swim every day at this age? Can you share some fun things about swimming?
Ju Xiuyun:I learned to swim when I was 69 years old, and I practiced yoga for a while before swimming, and I heard that swimming is good for my waist and helps to shape and exercise lung capacity, but I didn't even do yoga after learning to swim.
I started swimming on my own after 3 classes, and I felt strong after swimming every day. If you don't swim, you will feel a little weak. This is my fourth year of swimming.
I often go to the community pool with a few friends, and I arrive at 7 a.m. promptly every morning, and we are all the same age, the oldest being 86 years old and some in their 50s. Sometimes young people or strangers will compliment me on my speed of swimming and good figure, and I am very happy to receive these compliments. Exercising is such a good habit, and now I feel uncomfortable when I don't exercise for a day, like something is missing.
Zhengguan News Reporter:What were your hobbies when you were younger? What advice do you have for young people who are struggling to keep exercising right now?
Ju Xiuyun:When I was younger, I had a wide range of hobbies, such as ice skating and basketball, and I was willing to try them, although I wasn't particularly good at everything.
Exercise has given me a strong body from a young age. When I was in school, there was a year-wide hiking event that was attended by 500 people. There were 3 flags at the finish line, and I pulled the third flag, which means I finished third out of 500 people.
My grandson often asks me about my youth, and I always "show off" that I was either first or second in skating when I was younger. He asked, how many people are there in the competition? I said there were only two of us, but I loved to play all kinds of sports when I was young.
As for advice for young people, I don't usually have much contact with young people, but I would like to say that exercise must be especially good for the body. Stick with it, and your body will change unexpectedly. Sports can make people "addictive", "the body is the capital of the revolution", I want to use my personal experience to tell you that this is indeed the case, and good exercise is a lifelong thing.
Never allowing herself to be idle, she often says "I'm not tired".
Zhengguan News Reporter:What kind of person do you see as a mother? Why did you choose your mother to be your model?
Hou Xiaoning:My mom is a person who loves life and she never allows her time to be wasted. Before learning to swim and yoga, she would go for a walk in the park with her friends every day, and sometimes others would not go because of bad weather or couldn't make it up, even if she was left alone. I asked her why, and she always said that if I sat at home, it would be wasted.
Sometimes my mom asks me to go swimming or walking, and I don't bother to go and just swipe my phone at home for 2 hours, feeling like she'll come back after a while, but in fact she swims and walks, making good use of her time. She is very energetic, she immediately does anything when she thinks of it, and she never loses her spirit.
My mom never felt very old, and her health insurance card had not been used in recent years except for medical checkups. When we walked together, I would give her a hand, and she would shake off my hand and say, "I'm not old."
My mother has a good attitude and loves to dress up, so I chose my mother as my model. In order to take a costume change**, she may have to do it many times, and she has enough energy to deal with it. The second article after the update** has millions**, some comments often make me cry, and some young girls say that when they see my mother's state, they are not so afraid of getting old, because even if they are old, they can live gracefully.
Traveling, learning freestyle ......In the new year, she is full of plans
Zhengguan News Reporter:As a dragon, what do you think are the distinctive characteristics of your personality?
Ju Xiuyun:I feel that I love life very much, and I am very attached to what I love. For example, when I was young, I worked in a dairy factory in Inner Mongolia, and I also participated in the performance team of the factory. Once, in order to perform a musical performance, we needed to practice splitting in a month, we got up early and practiced late, maybe I was a little too anxious and caused a muscle strain, but in the end I insisted on taking the injury on stage during the performance, but fortunately I persevered and completed it very successfully.
My grandson is also a dragon and is 12 years old. The relationship between the two of us is very good, I see my own shadow from him, for example, he sometimes eats a fruit and will cut it and put it on the plate, even though my grandson and I are 60 years apart, but we are full of love and yearning for a better life.
Zhengguan News Reporter:What are your plans and wishes for this Year of the Dragon?
Ju Xiuyun:I'm currently studying breaststroke, and in the new year I'd like to learn freestyle and go on a trip if I have the chance. I also hope to help the child more and let the child worry. The biggest wish is that everyone's career is prosperous and healthy.
