In the Tianqiao District of Bijia wa West community, Zhao Tiezhu is unknown to mention that the old man nearly 60 years old likes sports, wrestling, basketball, long jump, and shot put. Although he has retired now, he still does not stop exercising and insists on climbing the mountain every day, especially his strength. In particular, the 53 kilograms of stone locks in the hands can be thrown when toys are thrown, in addition, he is also pushed into the community fitness trainer, often guiding the elderly in the community to exercise.
yesterday morning, when the reporter saw Zhao Tiezhu, he was exercising in the square of the district. He saw a stone lock that weighed 53 kilos in his hand like a toy, and was danced up and down. Seeing more and more people surrounded by the outlooks, master Zhao was excited and began to play the pattern. Suddenly the stone lock was thrown into the air. When it landed, he suddenly reached out his arm and caught the cheers of the surrounding residents. "It's nothing. Exercise is much, and your strength grows naturally." While Mr. Zhao was resting, the reporter talked to him. He told reporters that, influenced by his father and relatives, he liked sports since he was a child. He began to learn boxing, wrestling and other sports at the age of 14, and throwing stone locks was a necessary exercise before learning. "At the beginning, the strength was small, and only about 10 pounds could be played. Later, with the growth of age, the strength was bigger and bigger, and the highest could throw more than 40 Jin."
in 2008, Zhao Tiezhu officially retired. Instead of going to work nine to five, he felt uncomfortable and felt very aching all over. "During that time, every day after getting up, I looked for work everywhere, sweeping all over the place three times a day and dumping garbage every two hours." At a chance, Zhao Tiezhu found a stone lock in the basement when he was cleaning the house. This also ignited his memories of his childhood training. From that time, he began to "work again". He took time to throw a stone lock every day. As a result of a long time, he felt a lot of effort. During the month's training, he finally regain the feeling of that year. The stone lock of 53 kilograms gradually became a toy in his hands, which could be thrown and received more than ten times.
apart from stone locks, Zhao Tiezhu also accepted his friend's advice and began to try climbing, playing basketball and other sports. Zhao Tiezhu said that he was living in a special law now. He took 1.5 hours a day to climb the mountain, and then draw a stone lock for an hour, and have time to do some other sports, and the body is getting better and better. "In an hour, I can basically climb 4 mountains, and many young men are not as fast as I am."
with the passage of time, Zhao Tiezhu became more and more aware of the importance of exercise for the elderly. He began to call on the neighbours in the community to exercise together with him, and also received the response of everyone. "Now there are more than a dozen old people doing exercises with me every day. Although it is impossible to play stone locks like me, it is a fact that they are getting better and better, so that my purpose is achieved." Wen / TU reporter Chen Jing
