Steve, a twelve-year-old boy, lives in a small town. He has a round face. He isn't tall or short. He is kind of thin. 

When Steve was one month old, his mom found he couldn't see anything. She took him to many hospitals, but it didn't help Steve much. After that, Steve's mom always told him what things around him were like. With his mom's help, Steve knew everything around him slowly.

It's not far from his home to school. It only takes him about ten minutes to walk to school. He likes all the subjects and studies hard. His teachers and classmates always help him. He doesn't go home for lunch. His mother always cooks his favorite food and takes it to school.

Steve likes playing the piano and he started to learn it two years ago. Now he is in a music club and he can play many songs. Every day, Steve plays the piano for his mom after school. He wants to be a great musician and play the piano for more people. "I know it is difficult for me to be a musician, but I will work hard for it. It will come true some day," said Steve.

Do you like exercise? Do you know something about plan k exercise(平板支撑)?

Plank exercise has become more and more popular in recent years. It requires little time. It's easy to do. What's more, doing plan k exercise often may bring you lots of benefits(益处). 

Performing plan k exercise as a daily home exercise before or after school will not only speed up your metabolism(新陈代谢), but also keep your metabolic rate high all day long. Doing the exercise often will make you burn lots of calories. This is especially useful if you have to sit in the classroom for hours every day. A high metabolic rate will help you lose weight and keep in good shape. 

Have you ever tried standing on one leg? You couldn't stand straight for more than ten seconds, right? It's not because you are drunk, of course. Instead, it's because your muscles(肌肉) aren't strong enough to give you the balance you need. Doing plank exercise often will improve your balance. Stronger muscles will also help you stand with straight posture(姿势) at all times. 

 ▲  Just think about it: You are sitting in your chair, at home or at school, all day long. Your muscles get tired, and your legs get heavy. Plank exercise will relax the muscle groups that may cause stress in the body. As a result, it can have a powerful and good influence on our mental(精神的) health. 

Considering all the benefits of plank exercise, will you make it part of your daily life?
