You might hear someone talking about the Plank Challenge (平板支撑挑战). Recently, it has become more and more popular. Why? Planks can be done almost anywhere. And doing the plank needs a little time and the steps to do it are simple. What's more, doing planks can bring people lots of benefits (益处).
Have you ever felt that when you tried standing on one leg, you couldn't stand up straight for more than a few seconds? It's not because you were drunk, of course. But it's because your muscles (肌肉) weren't strong enough to give you the balance you needed. Doing planks will help you achieve that balance.
Planks are great for improving your body's metabolism (新陈代谢) by building up your muscle groups. Having strong muscles means you burn more calories (卡路里) when you're exercising or even when you're sleeping. Since you'll be burning more calories, you'll feel hungry a lot more often. This can be a great chance for you to begin eating a healthy diet. And you will become much healthier.
Doing planks is also important to mental (精神的) health. 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. Doing plank exercises will relax the muscle groups that may cause stress in the body. As a result, they may help to calm your brain and even can treat anxiety and worry.
So are you ready to spend 5 to 10 minutes every day staying fit and healthy? Then jump in and make doing plank exercises a part of your life.

According to research in the magazine Psychology(心理) Health , people with sweet childhood will have less stress and fewer diseases. "We found that good memories seem to have a good effect on health, " said the researchers of the study. The researchers used more than 22, 000 people in two studies. The first period followed adults(成年人) in their mid-40s for 18 years. The second period followed adults aged 50 and over for 6 years. In both groups, people who got more love and support from their parents had less sadness. | Keeping away from depression(低落的情绪) has become the main goal for many people nowadays, but hugging it may be more helpful, a new study reports. Many people hide their true feelings. But the report says this can even make people worse. Researchers call on(呼吁) people to have a more friendly and patient attitude(态度) about depression. Only in this way will people not be afraid of it and they will be more likely(更有可能) to work out the problem, and then take action to deal with them. |
