Guiyang bureau provides fitness guidance for primary students

A national fitness volunteer guidance activity – sponsored by Guiyang bureau of sports – was held at Guiyang Linmu Primary School in Guiyang, the capital of Southwest China's Guizhou province, on April 13.

Sports instructors introduced the origins of Taekwondo and demonstrated powerful sidekicks, much to the excitement of the enthusiastic young audience.

Issuing instructions such as "press your cheek against the butt of the gun", and "use your index finger to pull the trigger," they also provided tips on target training, with many of the students scoring high as a result.

Electronic laser guns were used in the target training for maximum safety.

"Most of our students are the children of newly settled residents. Their parents are busy making a living and don't have time to take their kids off campus to participate in sports," explained Liu Yonglei, director of the teaching affairs office of Guiyang Linmu Primary School.

"The purpose of this activity is to provide a platform for students to learn about various sports and let them get more physical exercise," Liu added.

The training whetted their appetites for more sports and laid the foundation for them to enjoy lifelong fitness, officials said.
