3、the right activity for me? Whoever you are, theres an activity for you to maintain a “keep fit“ lifestyle. And just as getting fitter doesnt have to mean pushing yourself to the limits of your endurance, you dont have to be technically brilliant at a particular sport to derive pleasure and health be
4、nefits from it. Some people hold back from getting fit because they feel self-conscious about their ability or body and want to find an activity they can do on their own, but organized classes and sports clubs can provide you with support and motivation, as well as a chance to make new friends. If y
5、oure interested in football, hockey or other team sports, for example, many local clubs will have several teams of varying abilities, while there are plenty of aerobics (有氧健身 ) or yoga classes specifically designed to cater for beginners. Youre never too old to learn to swim, or you can take classes
6、 to improve your technique if thats whats holding you back. But many activities can be done by yourself, and require neither technical expertise nor much in the way of equipment or expense -just your willingness to give it a go. Here are some of the best, easiest and most popular ways to start getti
7、ng fit, as well as some suggestions for alternatives, that get you started. Walking Most of us walk at some point each day but we do it far less than we used to. The government calculates theres been a decline of more than 20 percent in the number of miles walked since the mid - 1980s. But walking i
8、s the simplest and cheapest of all exercises, and making it a regular activity and focusing on the intensity or distance covered can greatly increase your fitness. Walking improves the condition of your heart and lungs and works the muscles of the lower body. Its a weight-bearing activity, so it may
9、 improve bone density, yet its also low-impact, putting less stress on the joints than some other forms of exercise. Aside from the health benefits of walking, some of the countrys most beautiful scenery can only be accessed on foot, so if you dont try walking, think what youre denying yourself. If
10、youre a beginner, go in groups or as part of an organized outing via a ramblers club. Walking up hills expends more energy - even walking down again uses more energy than walking on the flat, but if you dont think youre ready for the hills yet, boost your fitness by walking just about anywhere. You
11、could try power walking in the park, for example. The idea is to walk at such a fast pace that it would actually be easier to break into a run. You burn more calories walking at this speed than you would running at the same pace. Running/jogging Running might just be the ultimate way to get fit: its
12、 cheap, can be done anywhere, at any time and, most importantly, is very effective. Theres really no difference between running and jogging, although jogging is often used to describe running at a slow pace. Whatever you call it, all you need is a good pair of running shoes and a little enthusiasm.
13、As long as youre healthy and take it easy to start with, anyone can run. If you have a history of certain diseases like chest pain, high blood pressure, or have had recent surgery or are pregnant, consult a doctor first. As a high-impact activity, running may maintain or increase bone density. But i
14、t can also put more stress on your joints than lower-impact activities such as walking and cycling, especially if youre overweight. Again, if youre concerned, consult your doctor. As with all exercise, you must warm up first. Start by walking at a brisk pace, then gradually break into a slow jog. Ru
15、n at a pace at which you can still hold a conversation, but which definitely feels harder than walking. If youre getting too breathless to talk, slow down or walk for a while until youre breathing more easily. To begin with, aim to run/walk in this way for ten minutes in total. Do this every second
16、or third day, gradually reducing the walking time and increasing the running until you can run for the full ten minutes. At the end of each session, warm down by finishing with a slow jog or brisk walk until your heart rate and breathing have returned to more normal levels. Stretch while your muscle
17、s are still warm. Next, start to increase the total duration of your run by a minute or two every third session, until you can manage 30 minutes three times a week. Even if youre feeling good, dont be tempted to increase your running time by more than ten per cent each week. Many people are put off
18、running because they find it boring. For this reason, it is important to get a bit of variety in your running. There are many different sorts of running - road running, cross-country running, fell running (running in the hills), or you could run at your local athletics track, or even on a treadmill
19、at the gym (though running on a moving treadmill uses less energy). Swimming Swimming is another popular way to start getting fit because most towns have a pool, its still relatively inexpensive and you need even less kit than you do for running. Most pools also offer lessons if youre a non-swimmer,
20、 or you havent swum for years and want to improve your technique. Swimming is a great way to tone up and trim down, because to swim you need to move your body against the resistance of the water. Just swimming a few lengths involves most of the major muscle groups, giving your body a good workout. A
21、nd if you gradually increase the pace, youll get a brilliant aerobic workout, too. Swimming is also an effective form of fat-burning exercise: because you can swim at your own pace, slowly if you wish, you can keep swimming for long periods, and maintaining your staying power is a vital goal in fat-
22、burning exercise. The other big advantage is that water supports your weight and takes the stress off your joints, so you can put your body through a good workout without your knees, hips or spine paying the price. Research shows that exercising in waist-deep water reduces the pressure on joints by
23、50 percent, while exercising in chest-deep water reduces it by as much as 75 percent. This can also make it a great exercise if youre recovering from an injury that means you cant run or play your normal sport. Gym The gym can be a good place to work on overall aerobic fitness and build muscle stren
24、gth, or just somewhere to exercise on days when you cant face the cold or the rain.
