Strange Life of a Cat

Chapter 111: Those unattainable eight-pack abs

Views:

For students who have just entered junior high school, 800 meters is enough, and 1,500 meters is too tiring.

Zheng Tan looked at Jiao Yuan with pity in his eyes.

However, now Jiao Yuan and the others want to talk about the loyalty of their buddies. In order not to embarrass Xiong Xiong, the sports committee member, they are going to take advantage of the weekend tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to train and see. Whoever has the best endurance will take the toughest job.

Now the 800m and 1500m quotas have not been decided yet. Jiao Yuan has no idea which one he can run. He has made an appointment with a few others to get up early tomorrow morning and go to the one closest to the family compound at Chuhua University. Sports field running.

Dad Jiao was supportive of this, but he still let him do what he could. It was only a week away from their sports meeting, and what he could do in seven days was relatively limited.

Jiao's mother has also improved her meals recently, and plans to supplement Jiao Yuanduo.

Early the next morning, Jiao Yuan got out of bed, and after breakfast, he ran out to meet the other people in the compound.

Xiaoyouzi is also bored at home. She doesn't have much homework. She has already done more than half of it last night, and the rest will be done tonight, so after watching TV for a while, she told Jiao's mother and joined Zheng Tan. Go out and go to the stadium to find Jiao Yuan and a few others.

Holding the car key, Xiaoyouzi pushed the stroller out. The two balance wheels at the back had been removed, and Dad Jiao had also adjusted it according to Xiaoyouzi's height.

Zheng Tan jumped into the basket, and Xiaoyouzi rode to the sports field.

There were quite a lot of people walking outside at this time on Saturday. Some people who were going to go shopping got up early, and the weather was not too cold, and there were not many people who stayed in bed.

Some people passing by see the pair of Xiaoyouzi and Zheng Tan, and they will look at them curiously, and they will say hello when they meet acquaintances. Many people take their pets for a walk in the morning, and Niu Zhuangzhuang is one of them. Zheng Tan could see the deformed figure and the pattern of dark circles from a distance.

Every time Zheng Tan sees Old Man Yan taking Niu Zhuangzhuang out for a walk, he feels like Niu Zhuangzhuang is leading Old Man Yan. Niu Zhuangzhuang leads the way, the dog leash is taut, and after a certain distance, he finds a place to lift it up. Leg pee.

There are also people doing morning exercises on the other side of the stadium, and there are many joggers.

Parking the car at the bicycle shed, Xiaoyouzi and Zheng Tan came to the side of the sports field. Jiao Yuan and the others are easy to find, and the children are nesting together, not knowing what they are arguing about.

The little girl Litmus sat on the horizontal bar, swaying her legs and scolding them one by one.

Jiao Yuan, Su An, Lan Tianzhu and Xiong Xiong, two sitting on the ground, one propped on his knees, the other leaning against the sports equipment next to them, all panting.

"Just like you, 800 meters is enough, so don't make it 1500 meters."

When Zheng Tan walked over, he happened to hear what little girl Shi Rui said.

Looking at Jiao Yuan and the others, it is estimated that it is not good to be a teacher.

Seeing Xiaoyouzi and Zheng Tan coming over, Jiao Yuan was surprised for a moment, and then he felt very shameless, as if he had lost his dignity as a brother.

The person who felt more shameless than Jiao Yuan was Xiong Xiong, who was also a sports committee member after all. He was criticized like this, his face was dull, he looked at Li Rui sitting on the horizontal bar and said, "Hey, Li Rui, it's easy for you to say, otherwise you run?"

"I don't need to run this, I only run 200 meters and relay, and besides, there is a big killer among us girls, don't worry about anything, just wait for the record to be added, how about you? Girls are ranked first, boys are at the back of the crane, lowering the team's performance." Shi Rui said slowly and authentically.

There is a famous athlete in their class who is still a girl. Although Jiao Yuan is not familiar with the elementary school, they have heard that she is very famous in their elementary school, often breaking records and participating in city competitions. .

Yin prospers and yang declines. Zheng Tan thought of the word. However, Jiao Yuan and the others are miserable enough to be despised by girls, which makes them feel bad.

"I don't believe that I won't be able to get results after a week!" Xiong Xiong waved his fists in a struggle.

After a while, Xiong Xiong said again: "Maybe I can also practice a good figure by the way!"

Everyone: "… "

"Cough, Xiong Xiong, I didn't hit you, some things are born." Lan Tianzhu said.

It seems that Xiong Xiong has been quite strong since he was a child, and his body has not lost much weight. Of course, it is not like those people with fat balls all over his body. He is stronger than the average classmates, and this time he reported the shot put project.

Jiao Yuan took a deep breath, patted the ashes on his trousers, and said, "Theoretically, it's red and white muscles."

Several others looked at Jiao Yuan, waiting for him to explain.

Jiao Yuan was a little smug. This was what he saw by chance while flipping through the magazines his father subscribed to. He cleared his throat and continued to explain.

"Human muscles are divided into red muscles and white muscles. The role of red muscles is endurance, and the role of white muscles is absolute strength and explosive power. Literally, one is related to endurance and can be linked to long-distance running, and the other is related to explosive power and can be It is related to sprinting. However, people's muscle types are innate, that is to say, how many white muscles and how many red muscles are innate, so some people are born with good endurance, while others are born with strong explosive power, Therefore, when we exercise, we can only make these muscles more developed, but cannot change their type.

Many people do aerobic exercise to lose weight, because the muscles used for aerobic exercise are red muscles, and the characteristics of red muscles are that they are not easy to develop, and they can continuously consume a lot of energy, so you see those long-distance runners on TV. Now, almost no long-distance runner is fat and strong. "After speaking, Jiao Yuan also glanced at Xiong Xiong, a fat and strong man.

Xiong Xiong stroked his sleeves to make a beating action.

Jiao Yuan was not afraid of him, and continued: "As for Xiong Xiong's good figure, it should be the kind with long muscles. The so-called long muscles are to make muscles hypertrophy. And muscle hypertrophy mainly exercises white muscles. The growth of white muscles, It needs a lot of intensity and even faster speed. So many people buy dumbbells or other equipment to exercise, instead of doing tai chi and yoga slowly."

Su An nodded solemnly, then pointed at Xiong Xiongdao, "So if this guy wants to become that kind of good figure, he can run long distances to get rid of his body fat first, and then do muscle-building exercises."

"It should be." Jiao Yuan picked up the water glass to drink water, said so many words, coupled with the previous run, his throat was a little sore.

"Xiong Xiong, the 1,500 meters are handed over to you, and the mighty eight-pack abs are waiting for you in front of you!" Lan Tianzhu patted Xiong Xiong on the shoulder and said.

Xiong Xiong "cut", "The 'front' is too far, I can't see it."

After running for two laps, they were tossed to the ground. Besides, it was not even 800 meters, and it took two laps to add a little more to the 800 meters.

"Cough, strictly speaking, not everyone can have eight-pack abs." Jiao Yuan continued to show off.

The rest of the people looked over again.

Jiao Yuan's sense of accomplishment came spontaneously, and as expected, watching Dad's magazines has a great advantage.

"There is a thing called tendon planing, that is, it makes the rectus abdominis of the abdomen look piece by piece, four tendons are divided into eight abdominal muscles, and three tendons are divided into six abdominal muscles, but unfortunately, This thing called tendon draw is innate and will not increase or decrease in your exercise, so some people have six-pack abs, while others can develop eight-pack abs, which is related to genetics ."

Xiong Xiong was stunned for a while, then lifted his clothes to reveal his fat belly, and took a deep breath to see if he had developed those lumpy and distinct abdominal muscles, but unfortunately, only fat.

The mighty figure with eight-pack abs has become so out of reach.

"Oh, Xiong Xiong, you're a hooligan!" Shi Rui covered his eyes and shouted.

Zheng Tan: "..."

Regardless of whether you can develop eight-pack abs, you still have to run this step.

Zheng Tan and Xiaoyouzi sat on the steps next to them, watching them run two laps, stopped for a while, and then started running again, and they were all jogging, and it was estimated that they could not run anymore. Running can be tiring. Maybe you can't feel it at the time, but it will definitely be enough the next day.

After running for a long time in the morning, Jiao Yuan and the others are ready to rest well in the afternoon, and they will be as usual tomorrow.

During dinner, Jiao's dad asked Jiao Yuan how he felt about running today, and Jiao Yuan replied, "The unreachable eight-pack abs."

Hearing that Jiao Yuan said that he would train as usual tomorrow, Jiao's father and Jiao's mother looked at each other and smiled, but didn't say much.

Sure enough, in the early morning of the next day, Jiao Yuan pressed the alarm clock off after the alarm went off. Then he stepped on his slippers and came to the master bedroom, ready to call a few other people. He felt pain all over his body and really didn't want to move.

Before Jiao Yuan could pick up the phone, the phone rang. Xiong Xiong called. He was in the same situation as Jiao Yuan and didn't want to go for a run.

Except for Xiong Xiong, the situation of the others was similar. Since Xiong Xiong didn't run away, they just stayed at home and rested.

Since they were not fully active before the run yesterday, they started running without warming up well. Jiao Yuan and the others have now tasted the bitter fruit. Although I usually ride a bike and play basketball occasionally, I have never run like this.

The most depressing thing is Xiong Xiong. If things go on like this, who can take over the long-distance race

On Sunday morning, they rested at home, and in the afternoon, the children gathered together to discuss. This time Xiong Xiong took out a list, which was the list of the class. next idea. But Jiao Yuan and the others were not class cadres, and they didn't have much contact with other students in the class, and their familiarity with those people in the class was not as good as Xiong Xiong's.

As for Shi Rui, she is a member of the study committee and knows most of the people in the class, but she is mainly familiar with girls and not very familiar with boys, so she can't help her.

"What should I do, I've already praised Haikou, I'll be spurned if I can't do it!" Xiong Xiong took the list and slapped his face.

"Aren't you just worried that the deputy squad leader will dislike you? It's okay, I know her well, and I will talk to you when the time comes!" Shi Rui said honestly.

Zheng Tan was lying on the tree and listening to the conversation of those guys, he couldn't help but sigh, the lush years!

Looking back, Zheng Tan remembered that he had never participated in sports games or anything from elementary school to university. He rarely participated in group activities. Every time he took people to the video game city to play all day, there were no sports events at all. Impression, no, there is an impression, it seems that in high school, he and a few friends and friends went to the playground to see a long-legged girl, but the memory was a little vague.

At the sports meeting of junior high school students, the girl who wants to look good on her figure probably won't see it, but Zheng Tan is still very curious. How about you go take a look at that time
