再忙也得运动:如何将锻炼融入日常生活

2014-05-05来源:nlss

We all know by now that maintaining an active lifestyle should be one of our top priorities in life. Only by taking care of ourselves do we stand a chance of being the kind of person we strive to be on the job, at home with our loved ones and in our communities. But that doesn't mean it's easy.
现在大家都知道,保持一种积极的生活方式在日常生活中至关重要。只有照顾好自己,我们才有可能在工作中、在心爱的家庭里、在社会上扮演好各种角色,成为自己努力想要成为的人。但是这并不是一件易事。

Work, in particular, can get in the way of working out -- in fact, there is a bigparadox going on, and it becomes more obvious the more challenging (and exciting!) a job gets: On one hand, we struggle to find time to work out; on the other, we can't afford not to exercise because it is integral to sustained success.
工作,是最会影响到健身的因素——事实上,这是个令我们两难的矛盾。工作越具挑战性(也越刺激),这个矛盾就越突出:一方面,我们没有太多时间运动健身;另一方面,不锻炼身体的代价太高了,因为身体素质是维持成功状态的重要条件。

再忙也得运动:如何将锻炼融入日常生活

Here are six tips for how to fit exercise into your daily routine -- no matter how busy you are with work.
下面的6条建议教你如何把健身和日常活动结合起来,这样无论你的工作有多忙都能有一个强健的体魄啦。

1、Work Out Efficiently
高效健身

Pick a workout form that you can do almost anywhere, whether you're traveling or getting home from the office late. Ideally, this will be a form of exercise that doesn't require much preparation (maybe save the wind surfing for the weekend) and that accomplishes significant physical gains in a short period of time (sorry, golfers). High-intensity interval training, Tabata training, bodyweight exercises and running are all great choices.
挑选一种你可以随时随地进行的运动项目——不管是在旅行途中还是加班晚归都能方便地运动。这类运动最好是不需要太多准备的项目(风帆冲浪什么的还是周末再去吧),而且要能在较短时间内取得显著的健身效果(抱歉,高尔夫球友们)。高强度间歇性训练、Tabata训练法、体重锻炼以及跑步等,都是非常不错的选择。

2、Cater To Your Own Likes And Dislikes
结合个人喜好

By now you might be thinking, “I hate running!” (or Tabata, or what have you) -- and that's okay. We each need to be realistic and to know ourselves. One person's running is another person's yoga, weight training or dance. Flexing your self-discipline muscles is often necessary when it comes to exercise, but make it easier on yourself by choosing a form of exercise that fits your lifestyle, personality and taste. Not sure what you love to do? Don't be afraid to experiment with different forms of exercise until you find what works best for you.
现在你可能正在想:“我讨厌跑步!”(或者Tabata,或者其他的运动)——那完全没问题。我们都需要实事求是、了解自己。别人选择跑步,你可以选择瑜伽、体重训练或者舞蹈。就身体锻炼来说,自律通常是十分必要的;但在选择运动形式的时候,大可以放轻松一点,选择适合你生活方式、个性特点以及个人品味的项目。还不确定你喜欢什么?不要害怕,大胆尝试不同类型的运动项目吧,你会找到最适合自己的运动的。

3. Use Competitions As Motivation
用比赛来激励自己运动

When it comes to being successful at work, collaboration is key. But when we're trying to motivate ourselves to exercise on a regular basis (and with enough intensity for it to really matter), competition has its merits. Today, it's possible to find a competition suitable to your skill level in almost any sport. Whether you're elite, beginner or somewhere in between, there's something for all of us. Sign up, set a goal and notice what it does to you -- odds are good it might be the push you need to keep yourself in the game.
要在工作上获得成功,合作是关键。但是当我们试图激励自己定期健身(同时为达到健身效果运动时又需要一定的强度)时,竞争就显出了它的价值。如今,几乎在任何运动项目中,都能找到适合你能力水平的比赛。不管是高手还是菜鸟、亦或介于两者之间,你都能有所收获。报名参加一场比赛吧,给自己设定一个目标,然后留意它对你能起到什么作用——有困难并不是坏事,它或许会成为你继续坚持下去的推动力。
