Cong Yan walks with a cement block on his head during his routine exercise in Jilin City, Northeast China’s Jilin Province, June 21, 2016. Cong’s weight reached 115kg three years ago and he suffered other physical problems. Not interested in taking weight-loss drugs, he began to carry a block on his head to burn fat, which measured 15 kilograms at first and then 40 kilograms, after friends told him the way worked. His weight fell to 85 kilograms after three years of training and he also had no trouble traveling 3,000 meters while carrying the weight. His exercise regimen usually includes practicing two sets of martial arts movements, making 22 laps around a bell tower and then covering 50 steps up and down six times. The 54-year-old said he plans to apply for a Guinness record of his way of losing weight. (Photo/CFP)
