Indeed, skin is a mirror of health. Only people with a red face and good complexion are energetic; on the contrary, people with gray faces and exhausted spirits are often weak and sentimental patients. Ruddy and shiny skin is related to factors such as regular exercise, proper nutrition, a normal life system, and an optimistic mood. We should pay attention to regular exercise and protect our skin.

(2) The posture is correct and the movements are chic. The Chinese nation has a long history of civilization and has always attached great importance to people's every word, deed, and action.

If this happens for a long time, it will cause spinal deformation, drooping of one shoulder and other problems. Beautiful walking posture is not swaying or splaying, but should keep the body straight, chest straight, waist slightly closed, and abdomen slightly closed. The knees and toes should always be facing forward, the arms should swing naturally, and the steps should be steady. And evenly. In short, beautiful posture and cool movements. It not only conforms to the laws of human anatomy and physiology, but also gives people the impression of fitness.

(3) Bravery, firmness, and perseverance: The Chinese nation has always valued people’s spiritual temperament. While praising the image and strength of heroes, they always praise the heroes’ magnificent spirit more prominently. Human beings are an organic and unified whole. Similarly, the beauty of the human body is also harmonious and unified with the physical beauty expressed externally and the beauty of spiritual temperament reflected internally. Only the organic combination of the two can be called true bodybuilding. Therefore, one must have a brave and fearless spirit and a persevering and indomitable will. fortitude fruitA decisive character and good moral cultivation. This kind of beauty comes from the depths of the soul, but it can be expressed externally through every move, word and deed of a person, making it accessible to others. This requires that while performing bodybuilding exercises, attention must be paid to strengthening the training and cultivation of ideological style, will quality, and spiritual temperament. In short, men should have well-developed muscles, a strong body, a well-proportioned body, a burly figure, an upright posture, a dashing demeanor, and the masculine beauty of being brave, resolute, and tough from the depths of their souls. .
