How to like sports

Exercise is a bitter medicine,

Just like the vegetables you barely eat?

So you walk the stepper, climb the stairs and lift the weight.

Or run off-road in the hot summer.

Because someone told you that you "must"

"Burn those calories" and watch what you eat.

But they didn't mention that sports are fun

And never intended to be a track.

There is nothing wrong with walking a mall.

Or dance or ride a bike on the street.

Exercise is not necessarily painful.

It's done right, it's fun, short and sweet.

When people think of sports, they think of fitness teachers, sports coaches, military coaches or sadistic personal trainers with a clipboard. From experience, school sports are often embarrassed because they are not suitable for the military. Some martial arts schools regularly allocate push-ups and pressure positions. Therefore, one's thoughts can easily link movement to pain and shame.

Then there are early rewards for sports and sports. Teachers, parents and classmates often praise the athletes of the school, especially from

victory from

 athlete. Athletics brings prestige to schools, parents and other students.

The problems of early exercise experience, such as high school, are:

1. Some young people, accompanied by exercise pain, refusal [final choice of exercise] and humiliation.

High school athletes are often motivated by competition and external praise. When the school was over, they lost the motivation to exercise.

Behavioral psychologist and writer No sweat: how simple motivation science can bring you a healthy life , Michel Sega, find those people Please enjoy An activity is easier to stick to than those who "make it necessary" or want to lose weight.

Segar compared exercisers who focus on weight loss and cosmetics ["body shaping"] with exercisers who just exercise ["non-body shapers"]. She found that non-body shaping practitioners practiced more frequently, took longer, and showed greater progress than body shapers. In addition, when a candy is provided after exercise, the non-body shaper rejects the candy reward and the body shaper eats more candy there. After the interview, the body shapers thought that their efforts should get more candy.

The morality of the story: find what you like to do and exercise for its fun, not calculate sit-ups and burn calories. This means exercising in a good corporate environment. Then exercise becomes your own reward, not bitter.
