讓運動變得有趣的8種方式

We could all be in good shape if we got more exercise. Well， exercising doesnt have to be boring. Here are 8 ways that you can make it a whole lot more fun.

如果我們多做運動，我們的身體會很健康。當(dāng)然，運動不一定是枯燥的。這里介紹讓運動變得有趣的8種方式。

Switch Your Thinking

轉(zhuǎn)換思維

Sometimes， the thing that makes exercising boring is the fact that you get into a rut. You do the same workouts every time you are at the gym， use the same machines， etc. Try different types of workouts， and try to do something different each time you work out. That way， you are not nearly as likely to become bored with exercise.

有時候，運動變得無聊是因為你總是墨守成規(guī)。你每次在體育館都做同樣的運動，使用同樣的器械等。嘗試不同類型的運動，每次鍛煉的時候盡量做一些不同的運動。那樣，你就幾乎不太可能在鍛煉的時候感到無聊。

Exercise Outside

在室外運動

Often， the environment you exercise in can determine whether or not you are going to tire quickly of the routine. Exercising outdoors is a way to keep things interesting. The world is your playground， so get out there and enjoy it.

通常來說，鍛煉的環(huán)境能決定你是否會很快地對運動產(chǎn)生厭倦感。戶外鍛煉是使運動變得有趣的方式之一。整個世界都是你的運動場，因此到室外去鍛煉吧，好好享受。

Get a Workout Buddy

找一個運動伙伴

Exercising with a friend is always a lot more fun than exercising alone. And， there is an added bonus： you can encourage each other， which is going to help you both get into shape faster.

和朋友一起鍛煉總是比獨自鍛煉更有趣。還有一個額外的好處是：你們可以互相鼓勵，這將有助于你倆更快地達(dá)到塑造體形的目的。

Watch Television

看電視

People may say that watching television makes someone pack on the pounds， but there is a way that can make exercising more interesting. Move your workout gear into the television room. You can watch your favorite shows while working out， making the time go faster.

人們可能會說看電視使人發(fā)胖，但是還有一種方法能讓運動變得更有趣。把你的運動器材搬到有電視的屋子。你就可以邊做運動邊看你喜歡的節(jié)目，讓時間過得更快。

Get Dancing

跳舞

A great way to stay in shape is to dance. Hip hop dancing is an excellent workout， and it can be loads of fun.

一個保持體形的好方法是跳舞。嘻哈舞就是一種很好的鍛煉方式，并且它能給人帶來許多樂趣。

Challenge Yourself

挑戰(zhàn)自我

If you have something to work towards， you will find that you enjoy exercising more. Challenge yourself every day. For instance， if you can do 20 sit-ups today， push for 25 tomorrow， and 30 the next day. When you have a challenge to meet， you will be more apt to exercise.

如果你心中有目標(biāo)需要去實現(xiàn)，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)你更加喜歡運動了。每天都要挑戰(zhàn)自己。例如，如果你今天可以做20個仰臥起坐，那明天就做25個，后天做30個。當(dāng)你每天都有挑戰(zhàn)的時候，你會更加喜歡鍛煉。

Eat Healthy Food

吃健康食品

This may not seem important for working out， but you would be surprised. If you are not getting enough protein， you wont have the energy to work out. Forget about eating a lot of carbs —the sugar rush only lasts for a short time， and you will run out of energy in the middle of your workouts.

吃健康食品似乎對鍛煉身體并不重要，但你會驚訝于它的重要性。如果你沒有攝入足夠的蛋白質(zhì)，你就沒有精力去鍛煉。別再想吃大量的含碳水化合物的食物了——攝入糖分之后的興奮狀態(tài)只能維持很短的時間，在鍛煉的中途你就會感到精疲力竭。

Dont Do Difficult Workouts from the Start

開始鍛煉時，難度不要太大

Some people think that they can do the toughest workouts from the start， and are very disappointed to find out that they arent nearly at the fitness level they thought they were. This can be discouraging， and cause them to stop working out. Start out with easy workouts， and work your way up to the more difficult workouts.

有些人認(rèn)為他們一開始就能進行最高難度的訓(xùn)練，但令他們非常失望的是，他們幾乎不在他們自己認(rèn)為的體質(zhì)水平上。這會令他們感到沮喪，并導(dǎo)致他們停止鍛煉身體。從難度低的訓(xùn)練開始，然后逐步進行難度更高的訓(xùn)練。
