A
54-year old man from Jilin, China, is famous for his strange exercise way. Cong
Yan shows daily walks with a 40- kilogram rock balancing on his head, which
have helped him lose 30 kilograms in the last three years.
Cong
Yan is a familiar, but unusual sight in Jilin parks. Every day, he can be seen
walking on the narrow roads, ascending and descending steps alongside other
people trying to keep in shape. But what makes him special is the heavy
-looking stone put on top of his head.
It
all started three years ago, when Cong Yan realized he was in the worst shape
of his life. The 1.63-metre- tall man weighed 115 kilograms, and he started
worrying that the fatness was having a bad influence on his physical health.
And some of his family members died of diseases caused by fatness.
"I
didn't want to take diet medicine, so I decided to lose weight by doing more
exercise," "Cong Yan told local reporters. But instead of regular
exercise, he placed a 15-kilo-gram stone on his head and walked as far as he
could. As he got used to the way, he replaced the stone with a 30-kilogram one
and also increased the daily distance. Today, he says he walks up to 3
kilometers every day, with a 40-kilogram stone on his head.
As it
turns out, Cong Yan's exercise way is as useful as it is strange. He has lost
30 kilograms and says he is in much better shape than when he first started
out. Encouraged by all the attention he's been getting lately ,Cong Yan says he
is considering approaching Guinness about getting his "trendy (时髦的)"physical way featured in their Book of Records.
