Personalized Exercise

As the start of every year, many of us promise ourselves that a certain number of times a week we will go to the gym or attend an exercise class. But finally many of us just struggle to fit exercise into our lives, or start off well and then give up. Why do we have a good plan at the beginning and fail to achieve it in the end? How can we deal with the problem?   (1)  

It is important to determine your motivation first. Are you mainly interested in de-stressing or in getting fitter? If your goal is relaxation, then ask yourself if you want to do it energetically.   (2)   If you have a calmer style, you can do something quite different. You could choose solitary exercise, such as walking the dog or doing some gardening.   (3)   There are quite a lot of them, such as walking group, running groups, dance classes, etc. On your own, you could go horse riding or swimming, or just download fitness exercise programs and do it at home.

  (4)   If you have free time at the weekend, you could book some time with a personal trainer, who can come to your house, or you could meet him at the gym. If your life is not as regular, you could choose the next couple of minutes you have to try an exercise DVD, or put your running shoes on and run for any length of time.

As you see, everything counts when you are doing exercise. Whatever your lifestyle is, you will be able to have something that suits you.   (5)   Just sit down with a cup of tea, read this article again, and have a think about your options. Then finish the tea, get up, get going, and don’t stop.

What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow, orange, red?  (1)  . Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know this, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colour preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings.  (2)  . If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.  (3)  . A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day.   (4)  . A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides(自杀) than any other bridge in the area---until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply. Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.

  (5)  . It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.

There was once a lonely girl who longed so much for love. One day while she was walking in the woods she found two starving birds   (1)  . She cared them with love and the birds grew strong. Every morning they greeted her with a wonderful song. The girl felt the great love from the birds.

  (2)    . The larger and the stronger of the two birds flew from the cage. The girl was so frightened that he would fly away. As he flew close, she grasped him wildly. Her heart felt glad at her success in capturing him. （3） . She opened her hand and stared in horror at the dead bird. Her desperate love had killed him.

She noticed the other bird moving back and forth on the edge of the cage. She could feel his great need for freedom. He needed to fly into the clear, blue sky（4）  . The bird circled once, twice, three times.

The girl watched delightedly at the bird’s enjoyment（5） . She wanted the bird to be happy. Suddenly the bird flew closer and landed softly on her shoulder. It sang the sweetest songs that she had ever heard.

The fastest way to lose love is to hold on it too tight, while the best way to keep love is to give it wings!

I don’t believe that there is any secret to success.  (1)  . The more factors you have, the more likely you are to succeed, and positive attitude is just one of those factors. Here are seven additional factors that are also important.

Knowledge

A good knowledge about the area in which you wish to succeed is often one of the key building blocks of success.

Natural talent

  (2)  . Find this out for yourself by trying a lot of different activities and seeing what comes easy to you.

Clear goals and plan

Much like a trip, it’s a lot easier to get where you want to go if you know where you’re going and spend time planning the route you’ll take to get there.   (3)  , and then decide some of the things that need to be done to help you move towards it.

Passion

  (4)  . Similar to your natural talent, the way to find your passion is to have a try in a lot of different areas and see what excites you most.

Focus / continuous effort

Hard work is another key to achieving success.  (5)  . If you want to succeed in a certain area, work hard in that area and go beyond what others are doing.

 Losing weight is tough. For most people, it requires a change in diet, a change in exercise habits, and a change in attitude.  (1)  

l Set healthy goals.

If you’re overweight and want to change that, the first step is deciding what your target weight is.  (2)  

l Start small.

Making major behavior modifications（行为矫正）isn’t something that happens overnight.  (3)  Commit to eating 5 servings of vegetables a day and exercising 2 days a week for the first week, then add a little more each week.

l Track your diet and exercise.

Now it’s time to start working toward that goal. The best way to stick with your diet and exercise rules is to track it.   (4)  Or you can do it the old fashioned way and keep a written food and exercise journal. Find what works for you and write down what you’ve accomplished every day.

l   (5)  

Every month you should take a look at your goal and see what type of progress you’ve made toward accomplishing it. If you’re not where you want to be, make minor adjustments. Try doing different exercises or cutting back on certain types of foods that you may be eating too much of.

Losing weight and keeping it off is a highly personal thing. Find what works for you and stick with it.

Everybody gets stressed from time to time.　(1)　Some ways of dealing with stress—like screaming or hitting someone—don’t solve much. But other ways, like talking to someone you trust, can lead you to solving your problem or at least feeling better. Try taking these four steps the next time you are stressed:

(1) Get support. When you need help, reach out to the people who care about you. Talk to a trusted adult, such as a parent or other relatives. 　  (1)  　They might have had similar problems, such as dealing with a test, or the death of a beloved pet.

(2) Don’t take it out on yourself. Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they take it out on themselves. Oh, dear, that’s not a good idea. Remember that there are always people to help you. Don’t take it out on yourself.　  (2)  　

(3) Try to solve the problem. After you’re calm and you have support from adults and friends, it’s time to get down to business.　  (3)  　 Even if you can’t solve it all, you can solve a piece of it.

(4) Be positive. Most stress is temporary. Remember stress does go away, especially when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it.

These steps aren’t magic, but they do work. And if you can stay positive as you make your way through a tough time, you’ll help yourself feel better even faster　  (4)
