The Old Man Invent Fitness Board To Teach Production Technology.

The multifunctional body-building board invented by Song Hongyu can carry out various fitness projects.

When he was young, he won the National Weightlifting Championships, Asian gold medals and Asian Games third consecutive four years.

At an advanced age, he was unwilling to be lonely, studying all kinds of geriatric fitness equipment and helping the elderly to keep fit.

He used to sell gold medals to raise money for the establishment of an elderly activity center.

Now, he also invented the fitness board, willing to teach the production technology...

He is Song Hongyu, a weightlifter.

Yesterday morning, the reporter came to Song Hongyu's home near Shandong Road, Ganjingzi district.

Although nearly sixty years ago, Song Hongyu was in good health.

Speaking of the past glory, Song Hongyu's face lit up with a brilliant smile.

"When I was young, I won several Championships, but there was no other idea at that time.

Song Hongyu told reporters that when he was an athlete, he was very competitive and trained very hard.

From 1973 to 1977, he won the National Weightlifting Championships for four consecutive years.

In 1977, Song Hongyu took part in the Asian Weightlifting Championships in Iraq on behalf of the Chinese team and won two snatches and total results in one stroke.

In 1978, Song Hongyu won the bronze medal of snatch in the eighth Asian Games.

"Medals are very important to me, but I almost sold them."

Song Hongyu said that this should start with the construction of the elderly activity center.

In order to build an old age activity center, we want to sell medals.

"When I invented the leg dynamometer, I wanted to have an old man's place for training, but we did not."

Song Hongyu said that the invention of the leg dynamometer was due to a disease of the mother-in-law.

In 1999, the old man suffered from minor stroke and needed to be restored to training.

The leg force meter he invented for the old man has been repeatedly groped for eventually.

After 7 years of Song Hongyu, the mother-in-law helped her leg strength recover quickly under the help of the leg dynamometer.

He was inspired in a report, and the idea of preparing an elderly activity center sprouted in his heart.

In order to raise money, Song Hongyu thought of selling two medals of the year.

When Song Hongyu sold the medal at a price, nobody asked for it.

Although he did not build an old age activity center, his enthusiasm for sports was not reduced.

Self made fitness equipment for the elderly

In September this year, Song Hongyu, who was watching TV at home, pulled a rubber band to practice his arm strength, but he felt awkward every time he pulled back and forth.

At this time, he saw a piece of wood beside the TV set.

Wouldn't it be better to put rubber bands on wooden boards and sit on the sofa?

Song Hongyu tried to move his hand.

"They are all discarded things, and they can be made into body building devices by assembling again. They are both green and practical."

After repeated research and improvement, song Hong Yu made this body-building device.

The reporter saw that the fitness board was about 1 meters high, and at the bottom was a 55 cm long and 35 centimeter wide wooden plank. Two sides of the board were nailed to two steel pipes, and a beam was hung on the handle, and a rubber band was attached to the beam on the cross beam.

When training, grasp the crossbeam with both hands, only waist force, so that the waist and leg strength can be exercised.

All parts of the fitness board can be adjusted to facilitate different groups of people to exercise.

"This fitness board is very simple to produce, and I would like to teach everyone this technology."

Song Hongyu said.
