Chapter 19 [Riding Polis, a New Plan for Fitness]
After getting Tom Izo's approval, Guo Xu decided to give himself a vacation.
Even if he wakes up every day and gets back to his best, working out for a month in a row is boring, and he's tired of it. And there are many ways to improve your fitness, and you don't have to choose a gym.
Guo Xu plans to go out and find inspiration. At noon, he first called his friend Jason Richardson to eat Mexican red lobster.
Lobster is his daily food choice, the nutritional value is very high, and he firmly believes that on April Fool's Day, his body should also follow the law of conservation of energy, and the better he eats, the faster he will improve.
After dinner, he found a bicycle shop near the restaurant.
While China is desperately trying to realize its "car dream", some cities in the United States are quietly emerging a bicycle craze. Some are for sports and fitness, some are for sightseeing, in short, it is based on the social consensus of health, environmental protection and health.
There are 24-hour bike rentals in Polis, so you can cycle through the stunning scenery and sunshine of the city. The store has a wide selection of regular bicycles, electric bicycles, and children's bicycles, and provides helmets, bells, locks, and more.
Guo Xu asked for an ordinary car and a map, and planned to take a trip around the city.
As soon as he heard that he was going to ride around the city, Richardson retreated. "Brother, are you kidding? If we ride such a big lap, how can we have the stamina to compete tomorrow? The coach will kill us. ”
"I'll just go shopping by myself, you can call Morris and Martin and them now."
Richardson frowned. "You just invited me to eat such an expensive thing, if I leave you behind, then am I still a human being?"
Guo Xu patted him on the back and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm hanging now, do you understand the time loop?" I don't care how much I consume, I'll be back tomorrow. If you do that, you'll be ruined tomorrow. I'm just taking you with me when I'm eating something good, do we need to be so polite? When you become an NBA star, I will find you every day during the holidays. ”
During the cycle, the two had a lot of repeated conversations, Guo Xu thoroughly figured out this person's temper, and Richardson immediately wanted to make a promise about the future, but Guo Xu didn't listen, got on the bike and ran away.
Richardson's ears were calloused, and today he told him about the cycle in order to pull Richardson to get up early to practice, and he had already spent a lot of time talking at breakfast, and he was really tired. In short, with this friend, Guo Xu has no worries about eating and drinking all his life, and Richardson can raise him like an ancient Chinese gatekeeper.
He rides along an eight-mile cultural trail past many neighborhoods and cultural districts, grand hotels, museums, and entertainment venues. He shuttled aimlessly through the traffic, reinforced concrete jungle, watching the bustling crowd of people of all colors, everything was so new.
He found that there were too many things he wanted to try, but he hadn't done before, and he wanted to go in and try them all after passing by the bowling alley, the golf course, the skating rink, and the racing track.
Guo Xu stayed in the racing track for a while. Polis Motor Speedway is one of the largest and most influential race tracks in the United States, and the famous "Indy 500" is derived from it. The circuit has been in operation since 1911 and is now almost 100 years old, with 250,000 permanent seats and a typical 300,000 spectators on race day.
In addition to the Indy500, Polis Motor Speedway also hosts NASCAR's Brickyard 400 race and Formula 1's U.S. Grand Prix. Its status on the American race track is unmatched.
It's a pity that even in the time loop, Guo Xu didn't have the opportunity to drive a racing car. To become a driver or official driver of the world's top racing cars, it must be cultivated from childhood, and it is much more difficult to train NBA basketball players with the joint efforts of three generations and even the support of one country.
Wandering until the evening, Guo Xu found a restaurant to eat, then threw the bicycle casually on the side of the road, and hitchhiked back to the hotel, tomorrow must be April Fool's Day, he didn't need to return the car.
Guo Xu made a new plan, playing basketball in the morning, and signing up to learn "tango" dance in the afternoon.
This is not a whim of him, but a deliberate choice of entertainment, in his previous life he loved to dance, and in college he once performed mechanical dance on stage with a few friends at the school's New Year's Day party. Dancing is a very tiring thing, and he can exercise his physical fitness while practicing dance for entertainment.
According to fitness terminology, "physical fitness" does not refer to endurance alone, but refers to the body's ability to exercise, including five directions: strength, cardiopulmonary, speed, flexibility, and coordination. There is also a more understandable division of five categories: strength quality, endurance quality, flexibility quality, speed quality, and agility quality.
This kind of division, anyone who has a foundation for exercise can understand at least half of it at a glance, and how to practice is suitable for themselves is also roughly numerous.
For example, weightlifters and shot put players who need strength quality practice barbells; Athletes who need endurance quality can practice long-distance running, and there is no need to go to the gym; Gymnastics is a manifestation of flexible qualities; Sprinting is definitely the most important quality of speed; If you want to play boxing well, you need to be sensitive, have excellent quality, quick reaction, and strong coordination.
Football and basketball are the two sports with the highest requirements for people's comprehensive quality, and it is difficult to become a top star if one quality is defective.
Guo Xu believes that dancing and playing ball have similarities, both require excellent foot strength, which is important for his future.
In his previous life, he had seen a lot of news about the deformity of the toes of football stars, such as LeBron James's left foot except for the big toe, the other toes obviously have different positions, especially his little toe is the most deformed, and the fourth toe is almost stacked.
James Harden also has this problem, and all four of his left foot have curled up except for the big toe.
The feet are one of the most important parts of the dance world, and for any type of dance, a taut instep is the best way to lengthen the leg line, and it is also a symbol of strength that comes from years of training. The dancer's toe strength and explosiveness are amazing.
Guo Xu found that his body would not change in the circulating space, and if he took this opportunity to train his foot strength very strongly, he might be able to avoid the end of toe deformation in the future. He didn't want to go to the beach to play in the future, and after being photographed by the paparazzi, he posted it on the Internet and was regarded by the fans as a representative of "disabled Zhijian", and now he wants to eliminate this hidden danger.
If you have watched the movie "Smell the Fragrance and Know the Woman", you will find that as long as the dancing skills are good, the blind can impress women.
Tango's dazzling dance steps, masculine temperament and feminine unrestrained grace, its gripping and shocking rhythms and melodies give people a complete emotional release. Sometimes soothing and elegant, sometimes as fast as a shooting star, tacit cross-wrapping, endless changes in beautiful shapes, and dizzying kicks, spins, and waist bending movements, this is the "king of dance" with all kinds of style.
In this life, Guo Xu is inspired to be a successful person, not only to succeed in the basketball world, but also to live a more exciting life.
