My sister and I spent our summer holidays with our uncle this year. He was a geologist and loved to collect stones.One day, he bought us two backpacks and asked us to go to the mountain with him.

Yet our uncles backpack was half empty.“Why did you give us so many stones?” We asked. “I didnt. You did,” he said. “You didnt know it, but I gave you a little attitude（态度）test today. I listened to every word you said. Whenever you were complaining（抱怨），I added a stone to your backpacks. Whenever you talked about something with positive（积极的） thinking，I took out a stone. And now look at your backpacks.” Our backpacks were full of stones. “Your negative（消极的） thoughts are just like stones. You carry them in your mind just like those stones in your backpacks.

If you answer yes, you should try a new type of exercise: aquatic（水中的） exercise. Aquatic exercise is a kind of exercise you do in a swimming pool. For example, you can run, walk, or even do a mind-body practice, such as yoga. More and more people are trying aquatic exercise.

You weigh about 90% less in the pool. It is also better for your knees than running or walking.Aquatic exercise feels easy, but you still burn calories (卡路里). Water is 1,000 times thicker and heavier than air. In the same amount of time, you can burn more calories in the pool than in the gym. Thats because it takes more energy to move in the water.Aquatic exercise is safe and easy to learn. It doesnt require any special skills. For most kinds of aquatic exercise, you dont even need to know how to swim.In fact, most people say they feel more relaxed in the water. They stop thinking about the things that make them anxious. The cool and quiet environment makes them exercise more.Aquatic exercise is suitable for everyone. You can do it at any age. It can even help people who have been hurt in accidents.
