Summer "appointments"

Summer

A "meeting place" for those who love to exercise - sports , improve health.

For nearly a year now, Ms. Dam Thi Kim Anh (28 years old) has become familiar with the route from home to the gym. That is probably also the rare time of the day when she can temporarily put aside her busyness, worries about family, children and the cycle of making a living to spend time taking care of herself, improving her physical and mental health.

Ms. Kim Anh confided: "After giving birth, I felt my health declined a lot, often tired and dizzy. My body also became heavy due to weight gain during pregnancy, and my endurance was poor. Therefore, I decided to register for a gym right away to regain my health and figure like before, even though my job was quite busy."

After researching many places, Ms. Kim Anh signed up for a training package at a club. Here, she was engaged to practice with hydraulic resistance machines and exercises that were researched and designed to suit women of all ages and physical conditions, all within 30 minutes.

The exercises combined with a scientific weight management program help metabolism, burn excess fat to create energy reserves inside the body. During the training process, the club's trainers will always closely monitor, guide enthusiastically, correct posture, and exercise movements to maximize the effectiveness of the exercise, avoid injuries...

Ms. Kim Anh excitedly shared: "After a serious training process, persistently combining with a scientific diet, I see positive changes in my health and body, and improved indicators. I not only lost weight, but most importantly, I reduced body fat, gained muscle, and became more durable. I no longer have frequent numbness in my legs, less knee pain, less back pain, and my body is more agile. Therefore, I am also much happier and more confident."

Here, she not only exercises and improves her health but also meets and interacts with other women who share the same interest in sports and fitness, sharing many things from work to life. Especially, from here, she is able to participate in volunteer activities for the community.

Here, students can freely choose good books for themselves, including comics and literature books. In addition, students can also participate in many games, interactive activities, presentations, and creative corners that are very fun and practical.”

Ms. Nguyen Minh Tam (62 years old in Ham Rong ward) shared: “Although the distance from my house to the Provincial Library is far, partly because I don't want my children to stay at home all day, partly because I want to limit their use of phones and TV, I often take them to the Provincial Library to read books, play and entertain. From the facilities to the way activities are implemented and organized, the attitude of the library staff in serving readers makes me very satisfied.”
