My daily work as a doctor: My treatment value is increasing.

Chapter 131 Enhancement of Physical Fitness

What do you mean by "I still need to work hard myself"? Lu Renxin was completely confused.

Isn't it just about upgrading directly to an inverted triangle physique with eight-pack abs, broad shoulders, and a narrow waist?

Lu Renxin often comes across fitness bloggers while browsing videos, but he is too busy to exercise.

After get off work every day, I collapse on the bed like a dead dog, unable to muster the energy to do anything else, let alone when I have to work shifts.

Buying a yearly gym membership is a complete waste, as you'll probably only use it less than half the time.

If the system could elevate me to this state in one go, that would be ideal, but what's with this situation where I still need to work hard myself?

Do I really need to train myself?

Lu Renxin cautiously opened the details page and carefully read the system instructions.

The system will provide some enhancements to your physical condition, but this will need to be completed within the next year. The host must exercise for more than half an hour daily, including regular walks and morning workouts.

After reading it, Lu Renxin gently touched his chest, realizing that's how it was.

That makes sense, though. If the system improves everything and the host doesn't make any effort, it's hard to maintain physical fitness.

Just like muscles in the body, muscles will also decrease if you don't exercise them for a long time.

In fact, he had always known that this residency training system did not want the host to easily obtain all skills or things.

As the saying goes, things that are easily obtained are not easily cherished. If he wants to improve his skills, he needs to study hard in class and practice diligently.

To get an article, you still need to write a draft yourself first. Nowadays, to improve your physical fitness, you also need self-discipline and exercise.

There are also those who don't need any additional conditions, such as their monthly minimum living allowance or the director's prestige.

Another thing is the thick hair he didn't buy.

That's right, the system's products also include abstract items like thick hair.

The price isn't expensive either, 500 healing points.

Lu Renxin smoothed his hair, and two or three strands fell out of his hand. "Mine is fine, thank goodness. I don't need to exchange for this kind of thing. If Liu Yichen knew, he would probably go crazy."

The old Chinese medicine doctor he recommended has indeed been treating him recently, and Brother Liu's hair looks a bit thicker lately, so he's been working even harder.

Every day, I could see him soaking the medicine in hot water on time, then tilting his head back and swallowing it in one gulp, his mouth full of bitterness, his face tightly scrunched up.

The way they looked together.

I'll put this thick hair aside for now and buy it later when my hair gets thinner.

However, my physical condition is good enough, so I can buy it now, although it's much more expensive than hair and requires 1500 healing points.

It's not cheap, really not cheap.

But Lu Renxin recalled that after performing several surgeries, by the last one, his back felt as heavy as if a waterlogged lead plate was pressing down on it, and his right hand, which was controlling the needle holder, began to go numb.

A single surgery requires prolonged standing, meticulous operation, and constant high tension; without exceptional physical fitness, it's impossible to endure.

Having studied traditional Chinese medicine surgery for so long, participated in so many surgeries, treated patients, and learned so much, it would be such a waste if my physical strength were to affect my professional level.

Just when you're about to doze off, someone brings you a pillow; this system is like a timely gift in the snow.

It's a bit expensive, but since he started performing surgeries independently, his skill level has improved significantly every month, so this treatment cost is manageable.

Buy it, buy it now.

Lu Renxin pressed the confirmation button and felt a warm, cozy sensation in his dantian. His body's energy circulated like that of someone cultivating immortality.

"It's warm." He pressed his hand against his lower abdomen, feeling no tenderness or rebound pain, only heat and swelling.

After lasting for about ten minutes, the strange sensation in my body disappeared instantly, as if it had never happened.

Lu Renxin's eyelids drooped, and he felt sleepy and tired, as if his body had been hollowed out.

He forced himself not to fall asleep immediately, and with sheer willpower, stood in front of the mirror and took off his clothes.

Looking into the spotless full-length mirror, he could clearly see his thin, slender shoulders and back, his frail arms, and the stiffness and lumbar spine caused by prolonged sitting, which made his lower back ache after standing for even a short while.

Following a fitness tutorial he had watched, Lu Renxin struck a pose commonly used in competitions, attempting to show off his well-developed muscles.

It turned out that there was no result yet; it seems the effects haven't appeared yet.

"Let's see how it goes tomorrow," he whispered to his reflection in the mirror.

After saying that, he relaxed and drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, Lu Renxin stretched and felt more refreshed than ever before.

I slept so well last night!

I glanced at my phone and saw that he had woken up at 5:30.

You know, as a young person surfing the internet these days, he's a typical example of someone who stays up all night and doesn't wake up during the day.

He plays on his phone until midnight every day, and then starts handing over his shift at 7:40 the next day. He lives nearby now, so he gets up at 7:00, washes up and gets ready in a few minutes, then rides his electric scooter over there, which is just enough time.

I never felt that this lifestyle had any impact. Although I know that going to bed early and waking up early is good for my health, I still can't do it.

I can't do it~

It's rare for me to get up this early, before even the alarm clock went off. The night outside the window is still dark, and the streets are quiet and deserted. I might as well set my workout time for this time.

Without hesitation, he took out some sports equipment he had previously purchased online from his wardrobe, including quick-drying clothes, a back brace, and lightweight running shoes.

There were no fancy plans; everything revolved around basic needs. I put on my running shoes and went out for a jog.

These were all things I had on a whim to train, but it was just a passing fad and they ended up gathering dust at home.

When it comes to exercise, only persistence will yield results.

With the system's support this time, Lu Renxin quickly sensed something was different.

In the past, he would only catch up on sleep after his night shift and never exercised. Years of staying up late and irregular meals had depleted his health.

After running less than a kilometer, he felt a tightness in his chest, his legs went weak, and he experienced a dull ache in his lower back and abdomen.

He hadn't even made it a kilometer before he leaned against a tree trunk by the roadside, panting heavily, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

At this point, they would lean against a tree for a couple of minutes to rest, slow down their pace and stop running, instead slowly walking back home.

But today he felt his steps were much lighter, 800 meters, 1 kilometer, 2 kilometers —

Huh, how come it's still so easy?

Lu Renxin was surprised, but quickly realized that it must be the system's blessing.

He casually pinched his muscles as he ran, and whether it was psychological or something else, he felt they were indeed a bit harder.

He didn't go too far. Half an hour later, Lu Renxin returned home, found a yoga mat, laid it on the floor, and prepared to start stretching.

Stretching after exercise is very important as it can relax tense muscles. During exercise, muscles continuously contract and become congested with blood. If you don't stretch properly, you're likely to experience soreness and tightness.

It can also reduce some delayed onset muscle soreness, promote lactic acid metabolism, and improve the body's flexibility and mobility, offering numerous benefits.

After a series of procedures, the time was almost up. Lu Renxin took a quick hot shower, rested briefly, and then rushed to the hospital to go to work on time.

On that day, Director Yuan had two surgeries that required his assistance. To his surprise, the discomfort of stiffness in his lower back that he usually felt after standing for more than an hour was much less today.

When handling the equipment, my hands remained steady throughout, without any shaking.

The effect was truly immediate.

These small changes gave Lu Renxin tremendous motivation.

From then on, morning exercise became an unwavering habit for Lu Renxin.

No matter how late I worked the night before, I would always get up at 5:30 a.m.

When I'm on night shift, I can't go for a run, so I just pace back and forth in the ward corridor.

Round and round it goes, back and forth.

As the days went by, his changes became visible to the naked eye.

Jogging progressed from two kilometers to three kilometers and then to five kilometers. Initially, I was panting and sweating, but after finishing the run, my breathing became steady, and I didn't experience any chest tightness or shortness of breath.

The muscles in my forearms and legs are becoming increasingly toned.

His colleagues in the department gradually noticed the change in him.

Liu Yichen stared intently at Lu Renxin: "Little Liu, why do I feel like you've gotten even more handsome lately?"

"Really? I don't feel anything, I still look the same, don't I?" Lu Renxin scratched his head sheepishly.

"No, no, no, it's not that your face has changed, it's that your whole energy and spirit seem more lively and sunny."

He glanced at Lu Renxin from head to toe and found him to be full of energy. Even after performing several surgeries and working with one teacher after another, Lu Renxin was still clear-headed and radiant.

"Have you been secretly taking some tonics or going to see the old Chinese medicine doctor again? Hand over the secret recipe now."

"It's probably because of my recent workouts."

Lu Renxin frankly admitted: "I now get up at 5:30 every day, go for a run, take a shower after my run, and then go to work."

o

"5:30!" Liu Yichen's voice became shrill. "Making me get up this early is tantamount to asking me to die."

"Try training, it really does have benefits," Lu Renxin said sincerely. Although he had the support of the system, the system may have adjusted his basic level when he started. Regardless of whether he had the system or not, training was beneficial.

"Okay, okay, I'll try my best." Liu Yichen groaned and collapsed onto his desk.

On Thursday, Lu Renxin had five surgeries scheduled.

In addition, he also had to accompany Liu Yichen to perform five more times.

Time was tight, there were many cuts, and the breaks in between were very short.

Before his physical fitness improved, Lu Renxin would have needed to lean against the wall to catch his breath after getting down.

But now he feels okay, he can handle it.

The first case was Liu Yichen's, which started promptly at eight o'clock. The patient's fat layer was quite thick, making separation more difficult and the field of vision smaller, requiring a long separation time.

Lu Renxin exerted force with his fingertips, leaning his entire body backward and shifting his weight to the back. Usually, after such a performance, his fingers would become stiff and numb, and he would uncontrollably experience slight tremors after stepping off the stage.

But today was different. His shoulder and back muscles were strong, supporting his arms, and his forearms exerted force evenly. His hands were so steady that they didn't move at all, and he didn't tremble at all when he finished.

Liu Yichen whispered in admiration, "Your hands are so steady today, you're not flustered at all with such a heavy weight."

Lu Renxin simply nodded slightly, smiled, and remained silent.

After finishing the first session smoothly, he only rested briefly on the stool, did some simple stretching of his shoulders, neck and arms, and then immediately continued with the second session.

Station 1, Station 2, Station 3 —

Station 4, Station 5, Station 6 —

After six or seven hours, it was Lu Renxin's turn for surgery. His improved physical condition finally came in handy; his breathing was steady and his mind was clear.

Seeing that he had been standing for several hours, the circulating nurse kindly asked, "Dr. Lu, are you alright? If not, please take a break."

Lu Renxin smiled and shook his head: "No need, I can handle it."

The nurse couldn't help but glance at him a few more times; he stood tall and straight, without a trace of hunchback or fatigue.

His second surgery was over, and there were a few minutes between his third surgery.

The doctor will take this time to sit on the floor and rest for a while.

But Lu Renxin leaned against the wall and did several sets of wall squats to relax his tense thigh and back muscles.

Then, interlock your fingers and move your wrists back and forth to relieve the soreness and swelling caused by continuous exertion in your forearms.

He then braced himself on the ground with both hands, took a step back, and lay flat on the ground, his body about 20 centimeters off the ground.

He bent and straightened his arms repeatedly, doing push-ups.

Liu Yichen, sitting on the ground with his large hands and fork, stared wide-eyed in horror: "Are you even human? How do you still have the energy to do push-ups?"

"Aren't you tired?"

"It's alright," Lu Renxin said casually, talking to him while doing push-ups.

"Didn't I suggest you exercise before? Have you been exercising?"

"Emmm, the problem isn't a lack of exercise, it's about slow, gentle, rhythmic exercise."

"So, did you actually train?"

"no."

'

As Lu Renxin moved, the lines of his shoulders and arms were clearly defined by the taut fabric.

His movements were precise and steady, with a steady rhythm. His forearm muscles bulged slightly when he exerted force. He completed more than forty repetitions in one go, leaving Liu Yichen stunned.

After filling out the form, the anesthesiologist inadvertently witnessed this scene: "Wow, Dr. Lu! Your stamina is amazing! Much better than my husband's!"

When Lu Renxin finished the last stretch, he braced himself on the ground with his palms to cushion the impact, and then straightened up to move his shoulders, the female anesthesiologist couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"My husband is such a spineless coward, he eats everything and can't do anything right. I was unlucky to marry him."

"Middle-aged women of a certain age are so vigorous," Lu Renxin said, not knowing how to respond. He could only give an awkward smile and change the subject.

The anesthesiologist stood up and surrounded him, marveling, "Young people really do have a different kind of physical strength. It's good to be young."

Lu Renxin raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and the corners of his lips curved slightly.

"I was too weak before, and only later did I realize the importance of exercise. I felt that if I didn't make time to exercise, I wouldn't be able to withstand the strain on the operating table."

The nurse suddenly realized and joked, "No wonder you've been performing surgeries so smoothly lately; you've been working hard behind the scenes!"

The female anesthesiologist chimed in: "It's true that doctors have to compete on physical strength in the end. In the end, we all have to compete on physical strength and physique. If everyone is in good health, we can reduce the number of sudden deaths."
