第50章 Healthy Living 健康生活(2)

Outdoor exercise could even increase life expectancy。

户外运动甚至能够增加人的寿命。

We believe that there should be a large potential benefit to individuals, society and to the costs of the health service if all groups of people were to self-medicate more with green exercise。

我们相信,如果社会各个阶层的人们使用“绿色运动”来进行自我治疗的话,将会给个人、社会以及健康医疗服务的成本带来巨大潜在的好处。

Outdoors offers another level to focus on—the smell of nature, such as the ocean, pine, grass。

户外运动提供了另一个层面使得我们去关注——自然的味道,如海洋,松树林,草地。

When you start to smell the outdoors, it’s as if nature wants us to be present and breathe deeply。

当你在室外使用嗅觉的时候,就好像自然要我们处在其中并深深呼吸。

The open space really expands everyone, and there’s an instantaneous freedom you just can’t replicate indoors。

扩大开放的空间也扩展了每个人,这里的一瞬间的自由是在室内无法复制的。

When you perform yoga and meditation on the outdoors, it opens up various sensations in your internal self and unfold them。

当你在室外练习瑜伽和冥想,室外的环境会开辟你内部的自我,展现不同的感觉。

Let’s Talk!

开始交流吧!

Lucy: I prefer indoor events to outdoor。

露西:我个人的话更喜欢室内运动。

Tom: You mean gymnastics, weight-lifting, boxing, and so on。

汤姆:你是说体操、举重、拳击这些吗?

Lucy: Yeah, I prefer gymnastics。

露西:是的。我更喜欢体操。

Tom: Why is that?

汤姆:为什么?

汤姆:户外运动对你有好处。你最好每天做一些户外运动。

Lucy: Indoor exercises are also very beneficial to your health。

露西:室内运动也能锻炼身体,也有好处。

Tom: But you can enjoy the fresh air, the beautiful view, the mountains, the rivers, the communities in outdoor。

汤姆:但是在室外运动中,你可以享受到新鲜的空气、美丽的景色、山川、河流、社区。

Lucy: Yeah, but the purpose is to improve your health。

露西:但毕竟目的是为了健康。

Tom: You see, health also includes mental health。 Going for a run outdoors is better than exercising in the gym because it has a positive impact on mental, as well as physical health, researchers have found。

汤姆:但是你看,健康也包括心理健康。研究者发现,在室外跑步可比在健身房锻炼好,因为不仅对身体健康,对心理也有积极的影响。

Lucy: Ok。

露西:好吧。

Enter the Gymnasium

走进健身房

1健身房做什么?

Before starting to work out make sure you get a full physical from your doctor and a letter stating it is ok for you to do physical activity。 Many gyms and aerobic centers will require this before letting you start。 Depending on how long it has been since you last did regular exercise it is recommended that you start off slow and gradually build up your workout to harder levels。 It is generally recommended to start off at the gym with just the treadmill and the lifecycle for the first week or 2。 This is to wake the muscles up and to slowly get you prepared for a harder workout。

You will generally want to find a speed on the treadmill that is a pace you can keep up with little discomfort and do it for 20 minutes。 After this take a 5 minute break, air Jordan 2010, stretch a little and have a drink of water, Gucci belts, then go back and increase the speed just a bit then do another 20。 Remember that pushing yourself too far is taking a gamble that you may not be able to live with。 In a casino you can put everything you have on the roulette table and maybe you win and maybe you lose, but in the gym if you push too hard you can die, cheap polo t-shirt, so take things slowly。 Many people make the mistake of getting back into an exercise program and going all gung ho an trying to get back in shape in just one hour, Gucci sandals, well let me tell you this will not work。 The only thing this will do is make you very sore the next day and you will not be able to workout that day, Gucci t-shirt, and it will make you lose interest fast in the gym。 Discomfort in ok pain is not。

Depending on how long it has been since you last worked out, cheap timberland boots, I recommend working out 4 or 5 days a week。 This may seem like a lot but if you were trying to win a poker tournament you would go to a casino or an online casino and poker room to practice almost every day right? Working out 5 days a week does not necessarily mean you have to go to the gym every day。 I recommend the gym 3 times a week and the other day or 2 you can just go for a long fast paced walk around your neighborhood。 Try to vary the things you do so that you do not work out the same parts of your body 2 days in a row。 Most professionals will tell you that if you work out your arms and chest on a Monday do not exercise those muscles again for at least 48 hours。
