Tired of traditional running? Well, maybe it's time to try using your hands instead. That's what Shaun McCarty and other Australians are doing — running on all fours.
McCarthy, who comes from Melbourne, Australia, said he's the one behind the term “crunning.” “It's not crawling, it's not running.” he said. “Crunning is a better workout than running. It puts more of an emphasis（着重）on the body than traditional running does. ”
McCarthy thinks that he gets much more exhausted after crunning, so he believes it must burn more calories than running.
Some believe crunning could result in bad shoulder injuries or broken noses.
But McCarthy is not worried. Many Melbourne residents have been seen running around on all fours. In the Chinese city of Zhengzhou, crawling, a much slower version of crunning, has been a favourite activity for many years. According to some people there, the exercise is believed to date back two thousand years to the Han Dynasty.
Then McCarthy advises you to buy some good shoes, hand gloves and most important of all, a face mask!

Public Speaking Training
Get a coach
{#blank#}1{#/blank#}, so get help. Since there are about a billion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses, here are some things to look for when deciding the training that's right for you.
Focus on positives
Any training you do to become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of what you already do well. Nothing can hurt confidence more than being told that you aren't doing well. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}, so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldn't do.
{#blank#}3{#/blank#}
If you find a public speaking course that looks as though it's going to give you lots of dos and don'ts, walk away! Your brain is so full of what you're going to be talking about. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. As far as we're concerned, there are basically no hard and fast rules about public speaking. Your audience can be your friends.
You are a special person not a clone
Most importantly, good public speaking training should treat you as a special one, with your own personal habits. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. Your training course should help you bring out your personality, not try to turn you into someone you're not.
