The 13-year-old and 9-year-old brothers, who can do everything in athletics, swimming, karate, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, have six-pack abs at a young age. Not only do I play several sports a week, but I am also not inferior in my studies. Parents originally just wanted their children to have a healthy body, but in the growth of their children, physical activities have played a role that has exceeded their expectations.

Parents are the best role models
The family is a sports enthusiast
Shi Nuoxing, who is in the first year of junior high school this year, and Shi Nuoyan, who is in the fourth grade, are a pair of standard sports brothers. Since kindergarten, they have participated in a variety of sports, such as swimming, cycling, basketball, karate, football, and now the older brother Shi Nuoxing has started to participate in rowing training, and the younger brother has developed an interest in mixed martial arts and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
In the past few years, after various sports, the brothers have not only trained six-pack abs, but also achieved a lot of good results - completed the junior triathlon, successfully crossed the Qiantang River, and the elder brother also became a black belt in karate.
The parents of the brothers are Shi Jianghao and Zhou Ling, the parents of the post-80s generation in Hangzhou, and neither husband and wife are sports insiders, but the sports atmosphere of the whole family is very good, even including the grandparents, the grandfather once rode to Lhasa, and the grandmother is a loyal viewer of the sports event.
Mother Zhou Ling entered the local table tennis team when she was a child, and her concept of maintaining physical health through physical exercise has been maintained until now, "I used to study abroad, and I also worked in Hong Kong for a period of time, and found that the gym over there is very popular, and the fitness atmosphere in the circle of colleagues is quite good. This fitness atmosphere has also made physical exercise a very important Xi in her life, which she has maintained to this day.

Dad Shi Jianghao is also an athlete. In 2018, because a friend grabbed a place in the Huoshui Lake Triathlon, with the mentality of trying it out, Shi Jianghao started his own ironman journey. Since then, Shi Jianghao has fought from the standard iron (1500m swimming, 10km running, 40km cycling) competition to the big iron (3800m swimming, 42km running, 180km cycling) field, and has also gone to Australia to compete.
The big iron race lasts for a long time, often from five or six o'clock in the morning to ninety o'clock in the evening, so the arena is more like a sports carnival. Even if the wind and rain are blowing, the mother Zhou Ling will go to the scene with the child to feel the atmosphere, the tenacity of the middle-aged contestants who do not give up easily, the enthusiastic cheering and shouting of the audience, and the appearance of the father fighting until the last moment, are firmly imprinted in the minds of the brothers. "When dad crossed the line at the end of the race, they would run together, cross the line together, and they wanted to participate. So then the brothers went to run the junior triathlon themselves.
Parents have set a good example for their children, starting with swimming in kindergarten, and at most time, the two brothers play six sports a week, and now the elder brother also participates in basketball and rowing training on a daily basis.
Dad and Mom opened the door to sports for the children, and the role model of the elder brother also has a great influence on the younger brother, "The elder brother is super powerful, and the elder brother can win the prize and rank in the competition, and I will also win it." This little tail mentality also inspired him to devote himself to various physical trainings, and in addition to following in his brother's footsteps, his younger brother also found his way, moving from karate to mixed martial arts and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Grind out a hand of calluses
Practice a calm mindset
The original intention of getting two children out of their comfort zone and exposing them to a variety of different sports was to keep them healthy, and parents had different considerations when choosing a program for their children in the first place.
For example, the first time I learned swimming, I wanted children to master life-saving skills, and travel safely and freely, in addition, swimming and basketball projects are conducive to growing taller, and I was influenced by my father to get involved in triathlon, so track and field and cycling are also involved.
After several years of consistent exercise, the changes in the children are obvious.
First of all, the health is good, the recent wave of flu offensive is fierce, but no one in the family has fallen, in addition to doing a good job of protection, daily exercise has also brought about the improvement of physical fitness, "The child is healthy, and it also saves parents a lot of worry." ”

In addition, the brothers' personalities are also extroverted, and the more opportunities to jump, the more sunny and cheerful they are, and they are also Xi to the hardships brought by sports, "After my brother started to learn rowing, he looked at the blisters on his palms, and then the blisters turned calluses, and he didn't scream, so he showed us, and I thought it was fun." ”
And because of their good performance in sports, the older brother and younger brother were selected for the school team, and they won glory for the school in the sports day, and the classmates were impressed with them, which made the brothers quite proud, and the training was more active.
The most interesting thing is to learn karate, and the original idea of the mother was to let the child be able to protect himself in the event of an emergency in the daily life of school. Unexpectedly, after a period of training, my brother has become a black belt, and his attitude towards karate is also beyond his mother's expectations, in his own words: "Untrained children, I can really have an accident with a whip leg, so when I encounter a provocation or something, I don't have the same knowledge as them." Mom felt that this allowed him to be in a very active state in many situations, learning to take the initiative to exercise self-control, both in action and emotionally.

What you like to play
Give your child the choice
Mother Zhou Ling sighed that compared with other "rolling" families, his family is considered "loose", and now the brothers basically except for a swimming lesson after school in the middle of the week, other training is either school team training, or they practice outside on weekends, so it is basically the amount of normal physical exercise for a child, and those children who want to take the professional route are still far away.
Brother Shi Nuoxing's grades have always been good, he was originally a member of the Young Pioneers Brigade Committee in elementary school, and his grades were stable in the top five of the class all year round. This semester, the child entered junior high school, and Zhou Ling did not plan to reduce the children's physical activities, "As long as the child's grades can be kept at the head and not fall, the current exercise intensity will be maintained." ”
The two brothers have a lot of autonomy in their own physical exercise, and the mother thinks: "In fact, the role of parents is more to ensure the correct frequency and safety of exercise, but the choice of exercise is more left to the children, and they can obviously feel it whether they like it or not." ”

When my brother practiced karate, he spent most of his time learning to be beaten, and because the training time was not as good as that of many professionally trained children, it was difficult to improve his grades, and he always lost, and he wanted to give up at one point. So my mother and he set a small goal for karate, "I haven't reached it yet, I asked him to hold on a little longer, and see if his mind will change after reaching that goal." ”
The younger brother is only occasionally a little emotional, and during the holidays he will complain: "Why can other children play?" "But once the equipment is changed and the training starts, the attention is all on the training, and the whole person is very focused and excited.
So at present, the main task of the mother is to arrange some competitions, so that they can see the results and gains after a stage of practice, such as participating in some cross-country races, small triathlon races, small marathons and the like, "so that they have some sense of participation and ritual, which can promote their enthusiasm." ”
