Jilin Man Loses Weight by Walking Around With Cement Block on Head

Jilin Man Loses Weight by Walking Around With Cement Block on Head
Jun 14, 2013 By eChinacities.com

There are many strange and creative ways to lose weight these days, but a Chinese man seems to have come up with the weirdest of them all.

A 51-year-old man from Jilin has recently been spending his free time walking around the city’s Beishan Park with a block of cement on his head, and has claimed that the obscure weight loss method has made him lose almost 30kg.

One year ago, Cong Yan weighed a hefty 107.kg, which is a lot especially for someone who is 1.63m tall. After getting sick often, Cong decided to lose weight, and began by walking around the park with a 15kg block of cement on his head. Cong then later upgraded to a 40kg block, and found that after one year, he had managed to cut his weight down to around 80kg.

Cong is still aiming to get even slimmer however, and now does a daily exercise of walking 22 circles around the park’s bell tower (each lap is 65m), and walks up and down 50 steps six times.

Not sure about losing weight. He might lose some height though.

Going out and having to deal with jerks, might as well get something out of it. I weigh my bags down for that reason.
