Many people run for exercise. But what will you do if you are not a “born” runner or jogger (慢跑者) ? You may still want a kind of exercise that’s inexpensive and easy to do. Why not try walking?
Walking requires no special equipment (装备) . It is a kind of exercise that almost any normal, healthy person can do. Walking is good for your health, and it will just take longer than jogging or running. Jogging and running make your heart work harder than walking. They also put more stress on your legs and feet than walking does.
The problem with walking is that most people don’t take it seriously. But there’s a big difference between serious walking and the walking that most of us do. Walking, like jogging, should have a steady and continuous motion (稳健而持续的动作) .
If you want to get your exercise by walking, you need to follow some rules. First, you need to have your own walking plan. After all, runners and joggers set goals for themselves. Walkers need goals, too. You also need to set a course to walk. Start by walking about 15 — 30 minutes a day. Increase your time and distance slowly. And try increasing your walking speed little by little. Later on, you can increase your distance, speed and exercise time.

Rock climbing(攀岩)did not become a sport until late in the 1900s. But now it has become a popular outdoor activity. While rock climbing may still be necessary for mountain climbing, most people just climb low mountains for fun.
If you have ever done rock climbing, you will know that it is not a very easy sport. Indoor and outdoor rock climbing both need practice. Rock climbing is one of the sports that depend on your body and mind. That is to say you need to be strong enough and have courage.
To climb successfully, one must use wonderful skills. The most important rule is to always have three parts of your body on the rock face. Another important rule is that your arms only hold you close to the rock face while your legs are pushing you up, the closer you are to the rock face, the easier it is to climb.
Rock climbing is a wonderful sport. Once you start to learn how to climb, you’ll find more fun. People who like games such as chess playing or problem-solving may love rock climbing, because they are nearly the same in the way of thinking. For anyone who wants to get into beautiful shape, rock climbing is a fun and good way. Anyone who enjoys a difficult game and loves the outdoors should think of taking rock climbing as a new hobby.
