Zhou Guanyu, the first Chinese Formula 1 driver and brand ambassador for Lululemon, appeared at the event, sharing the joy of sports with thousands of fans. He participated in a 3-minute burpee jump challenge in over 40-degree heat. Information indicates that the 3-minute burpee jump is a high-intensity fitness exercise involving a series of continuous movements, including squats, push-ups, and jumps. This exercise aims to rapidly elevate the practitioner’s heart rate, deplete energy quickly, and engage the body to burn fat for energy.

His performance quickly became a social media hotspot, garnering tens of thousands of likes and comments. Some netizens praised his persistence and spirit of striving, viewing him as a positive role model and encouraging more people to embrace fitness.
