就像我们的身体随着季节变化和饮食方式变化一样,我们的运动节奏也随之变化。两年前,我在纽约市马拉松比赛中训练,而在此之前的两到三年,我与夏洛茨维尔田径俱乐部一起跑步,在凌晨5:30与我的朋友见面,每周进行1-2次训练,并进行比赛训练,包括几乎每年26.2。我真的非常喜欢。
但是后来我意识到我没有’t anymore. 我不’t want to say those days are long gone, because 我不’t think they are…但是我确实认为他们被搁置了一段时间。
我在纽约度过的第一年与一些护理学校的朋友一起跑步,并与 纽约RR ,但是由于学校和工作的疯狂以及仅仅试图只住在城市里,这变得太多了。如此之多,以至于我在2016年夏天退出了纽约市第二届马拉松比赛的训练。跑步已不再是对我生活的积极补充,现在却成为了巨大的压力。所以我停了下来。
几个月后,我开始去Equinox,‘plushier’我在这座城市的体育馆里上了很多很棒的课,这就是我加入的主要原因。我喜欢所有热瑜伽和杠铃和旋转课–然后喜欢上跆拳道和尊巴舞(适合真正的最喜欢的班级),我喜欢如何根据自己的感受进行锻炼,因为我有很多选择。但是在过去的春天,去体育馆感觉就像是一种义务。如果我不这样做,我会感到难过’不要去,因为那太贵了。除了获得学生贷款外,这种强制性的感觉使225美元的健身房会员资格非常容易放弃。
我在四月份退出了体育馆,感觉真的很棒。真正释放。不仅从财务角度考虑(因为是的,这种内gui感消失了),而且从情感角度出发,因为如果我不这样做,我就不再感到难过/内gui’去健身房。有关Equinox或任何体育馆的旁注:如果它触发您在附近“fit”人们或听到有关的消息“calories 您’re burning”(严重是有史以来最糟糕的激励因素)或看到“toned”健身房周围的人…please don’不要去那个体育馆。我绝对讨厌春分’广告和唐’完全不支持,但是我’我也很高兴地在顶部空间中反弹。随着时间的流逝,我发现讲师以身体积极的姿势进行教学,因此我坚持这样做,并避免了其他所有老师。
回首,我’从小组跑步和参加长跑比赛训练到散步,慢跑,做瑜伽和杠铃,那一天对我的身体都有益。还有这个“flow”运动类型真的非常好。
我喜欢这本书中有关运动的章节, 各种规模的健康,因为它会推翻社会告诉我们的内容。我们忽略了健康运动的简单性。它没有’t mean 您 have to have this regimented 行使 routine that 您 must do to be healthy. The best part about engaging in movement that truly is best 对于 您 is that 您 might not even know 您’re doing it.
不’t that sound 好多了?
Think about this: if 您’re doing a workout that 您 讨厌, 您’re not releasing feel good neurotransmitters in 您r brain. Instead, 您’re releasing a shiz ton of cortisol. So not only is that movement not healthy 对于 您 mentally or emotionally, but 您’重新创造更多的皮质醇…又名压力更大。皮质醇对我们是一件好事,它有助于调节体内的许多系统和过程,我们需要它生存。但是当我们太多的时候’s not good.
考虑一下免疫系统下降,血糖升高,胃肠道问题(例如腹胀,抽筋等),生育能力问题(特别是皮质醇与女性荷尔蒙的释放),我认为需要特别注意的是…when 您’做运动,你不’t like, 您’出于健康原因不这样做…you’re doing it to control the size and shape of 您r body. 和我f 您’re releasing excess cortisol instead of happy neurotransmitters, that cortisol mobilizes fat storage. 我不’不要说是为了害怕贩子,而是大喊大叫,“Doing movement 您 讨厌 不是’一点都不健康!而且’s going against the unhealthy motivation {changing 您r body} 您 have to workout in the first place!”
There will be a time and a place when perhaps I get back into long distance running, but 对 now is not that time at all. Having any sort of “plan”似乎真的很压力,很刻板,一点也不免费。
对我来说,当我漫长的一天或背对背的繁忙日子…I don’锻炼。很少(如果有的话),即使我有三个小时的早晨,我也要在上午11点至晚上11点上班之前进行锻炼。那不’不要感到宁静或付出生命。现在我有了一个新的9-6职位M-F,只有感觉好像会增加我的一天,而不是每天,我才会移动自己的身体。有时候’沿着河跑,有时’30分钟的barre3在线播放,有时’是一个瑜伽播客,有时会在我的泡沫滚筒上伸展15分钟,或者向碧昂丝做一些起重器。有时候’s simply walking.
有时’s simply that subconscious incorporation of movement into the rhythm of 我的 day like biking to work, or taking the stairs up to our apartment, or sweeping the floors after dinner. Movement 不是’始终计划。然后’s when I think it’是所有人中最健康的。
但是那’s me. And I’m not 您. So how do 您 figure first, what is 健康运动 and second, what is the best way to move 我的 身体?
让’从健康的运动开始。
Moving with the primary intention of manipulating 您r body shape or size.
为了赚取吃某种食物或烧掉已经吃过的食物而搬家。
Moving as punishment or out of guilt or because 您 讨厌 您r body.
运动一定的分钟数或强度或采取其他任意措施进行锻炼“count.”
Moving 当你’re sick instead of 休息ing.
我可以继续下去…but if 您 engage in any of the above…I’d encourage 您 to take a look at 您r motivations 对于 exercising.
Moving because 您 enjoy connecting with 您r body and not dissociating from 您r body or feelings.
Moving because 您 love 您r body and what is does 对于 您, not to craft it into something.
移动是因为它可以缓解压力(不是感觉/现实的麻木机制)。
Moving because that is the most caring thing 您 can do 对于 您r body in that moment.
Moving 对于 however long or however short and whatever intensity or ease 您r body needs.
休息时不要感到内gui,羞愧,恐惧或焦虑。
Flexible. Even if 您’重新训练一些东西– 您 have the mindset that the whole 计划 is totally flexible.
Incorporated anywhere, anytime. Playing with 您r kids, cleaning 您r house, dancing in 您r living room, carrying groceries. You have an awareness that this is all 健康运动.
生活 giving and healing and refreshing and 休息ores 您r heart + mind + soul.
因为它而动’是特权,而不是生活中的必需品或义务。
We live in a culture obsessed with burning calories and doing things better, more intense, 对于 longer until 您 feel 您 are enough. You are competent. You are worthy. But the thing is, 您 will be chasing all that 对于 ever because 您 will never get there.
就像我告诉 客户 , ask 您rself these two questions.
“Am I doing this because I 讨厌 我的 body or because I love 我的 身体? ”
“这是否有助于我过上更好的生活?”
如果答案是‘hate’ and ‘no’,然后停止并重新访问。生命太短了,无法做无关紧要的事情。
I think what 您’说到Equinox在大多数体育馆都是对的–我讨厌它!它可能促进身体健康,但是’绝对不能帮助任何人保持健康的头脑。太多的体育健身文化在我看来是如此无序,我可以’t stand it. 行使 should be something 您 do 对于 enjoyment!
Totally agree with everything 您 said here.
I’最近,我做的运动少了很多,而散步却少了很多,我很喜欢。它’感觉有点不可思议,但我想我也需要休息一下。很棒的帖子!
罗宾–我十分同意!我现在知道,不健康的运动是饮食失调期间其他失调行为的巨大催化剂。当我最终决定要完全康复时,我完全休息了一段时间。放任我的声音如此自由,告诉我那天我必须做特定的运动。从这次经历中,我更加意识到什么是真正的健康运动,以及什么促使健康运动。感谢您的发布!
这对恢复麦莉的人们来说是巨大的一步– so glad 您 overcame that!
很棒的帖子!
是的,是的。罗宾(Robyn)的职位总是带我回到现实。并让我寻求休息。我绝对喜欢心脏跳动锻炼,但我知道我’在几个赛季中,我意识到我太过分了,尤其是12小时轮班,如果我’我感觉不到,然后我知道’我通过跳过锻炼来使我的身体公正。同样,疯狂地进入城市会让您想要进入所有昂贵的体育馆(目前感觉如此)。但是生活中还有其他目标,例如债务自由!!我哪’我想把很有趣的会员资格摆在面前,但我可以自己在家免费做-好吧,漫谈哈哈,再次感谢您提供另一个精彩的帖子!
This is amazing, thank 您! I have been struggling with movement and 行使 lately- it has felt like an obligation, something that I have to do or I will gain weight. I am trying to tune into and listen to what 我的 body needs, and give it what it needs when, stopping to think about 行使 in terms of numbers and more in terms of what feels good. Thank 您!!
I so agree with this 罗宾and love 您r fresh, healthy perspective! Right now, I am training 对于 a marathon and absolutely love it, but just about two years ago, when I was recovering from an ED, I realized 我的 body needed a break from all the push of running long distances, etc. and I took a break. 和我t felt good. Yes, I gained some extra weight, lost a little tone, but now I can come back feeling mentally fresh and at a way better place physically to conquer this next goal of mine!
Thank 您 对于 being an inspiration and speaking the truth, with love!
Thank 您! This is just what I needed(:
我曾经是健身房的老鼠,有一段时间变成了跑步者…现在我拥抱步行+瑜伽。我完全可以强迫自己去健身房,而我绝对讨厌它的每一分钟。
谢谢。一世 ’从来没有评论过,但我的灵魂真的需要这篇文章–我在巴里的合同很快就要结束了,去的时候我仍然很喜欢,但是最近’感觉像这样到达目的地的步伐’自从我以来,我还必须每周检查一次’我为此付出代价。但同时也像我“just run” that “isn’t enough” since I’最近增加了一些体重。我需要允许自己休息一下。如果我想在几个月后回去,巴雷仍然会在那里。
非常喜欢这个!我每周锻炼3-4次,每周做1-2次瑜伽,持续约5个月,我很享受,感觉很好,但是在过去的2周中,我’我刚刚做瑜伽,在我最喜欢的林间小径上走了很长一段路,我俩都很喜欢,但是最近几天’我一直感到内,以为我应该进行实际锻炼,但又不是真的想锻炼–所以谢谢!我真的需要这个来提醒自己我不知道’t need to do “actual workouts”最重要的是要保持健康,并融入自己喜欢的运动并使自己在身心上感觉良好-
very glad it resonated with 您 kyra and thank 您 对于 sharing where 您 are at 🙂
是的,所有这些!我是每周6天,有氧运动,力量&减肥训练直到2年前当我的身体意识到’不想再这样走了。现在,我做对自己有益的事情’的瑜伽和Barre,每周5天,如果有的话,’我完全可以了我不再为缺少锻炼而感到烦恼,也没有因为汗流good背而感到烦恼,也不再为增加后脂肪燃烧而举起这些重物。等等。’我不耐烦地等待电梯/自动扶梯,我’我每天不断走路和站立,每天工作4个多小时。所有这些对我来说都是一种锻炼。
你是我最喜欢的博客。期。
我非常喜欢这个!这是真的!运动是对我们所有身体可以做的庆祝,而不是惩罚!那里’s a book called “这些美丽的骨头”由Emily Stimpson撰写,也涉及到这一点,是一本极好的读物!
是的!很棒的文章:)。我很高兴你在互联网上大声说出来!我每周只做2到3次运动,有时更少,但仍然努力让我的一天变得更运动。我一直觉得这很健康,但是早上不做运动就感到ham愧…或不遵守锻炼计划…您的文章是如此令人耳目一新,如此真实,谢谢!它’一周不能锻炼5次,让您保持健康’只是在您的一天中做些运动,然后做自己喜欢的运动/运动/锻炼,那会让您感到快乐,从而使我们变得健康。至少我是这样看的:)。
so glad this resonated with 您 melizz! very much agree so much of what 您 said 🙂
是!我也喜欢“各种规模的健康”中的这一章。我可以与您分享的内容有很多联系。我也有类似的跑步经历。对我来说,长距离训练与我的矫正型倾向相似。一世’米现在正在运行,但距离较短。一世’我不会像以前那样安排自己的时间,甚至不思考“active” days vs. “rest”天。我尝试移动大部分时间,因为我’我们发现它对稳定情绪非常有帮助。我全心全意地同意,一种直观的锻炼方法可以最大程度地感觉良好并符合我们的内在价值!
thank 您 so much 对于 sharing 您r story emily! xo
嗨罗宾!
I love what 您 are saying, and I think that resistance training gets majorly overlooked when it comes to this subject and I think way more people could be reaping the physical and emotional benefits if it weren’t代表社交媒体和“go hard or go home” nature of group 适合ness classes that involve weight training.
合适的抵抗力训练计划对每个人看起来都不一样–他们所有人都分享的一件事是,每一步都是有意义的,有效的,并且具有挑战性。如果没有’t leave 您 feeling energized and moving through other areas of life with more ease then something about it is not 对 对于 您.
I like to think of strength training as a practice just like meditation or mindfulness. It takes more compassionate discipline than the type of movement 您 are talking about, and sometimes we don’t feel like showing up. It is all about showing up 对于 ourselves day in and day out (but knowing when to take a 休息), being present with ourselves and our bodies, and learning to challenge ourselves in a loving way as apposed to a torturous one. Much like other aspects to self love these are all skills that take time to learn.
我认为适当的力量训练套路可以与经典运动建立健康的关系,因为必须一起避免所有运动。它教会我们珍惜表面事物以外的事物–改善姿势,增加力量,提高柔韧性 – the list goes on. 和我t pairs beautifully with the less regimented type of movement 您’ve described.
I think it is actually very SANE to be affected by social media and gym marketing and talk of calorie burning and a six pack. It is also very healthy to not want to be ruled by our food and 行使 . That is truly not what life is about. That said, I think that there is SO much to celebrate and savor in this physical body we are given. Those of us who want something more in life (the types who read 您r blog) shouldn’不必错过如此有益的事情。
As 您 know I’我是一名私人教练,所以我有点偏见,但是我已经看到各行各业的人通过力量训练学会更深地爱自己,所以我不能’不由得分享。抱歉,长评论。 XOXO
嗨,佐治亚州,
感谢分享– I think the message of the post 不是’真正涉及运动的类型,而是运动的精神和情感动机以及结果。希望那是什么。
<3
最近,这一直是我生活中的重点。天气转暖时,我喜欢探索附近的地区,有时我会随身携带真正的相机来练习摄影技巧。只是感觉“right”像这样移动我的身体,而不是在体内锻炼或强迫自己跑步。很快我’我要开始骑更多的自行车’我期待着做。我喜欢在户外活动,将运动融入到我的活动中’m already doing.
love that 对于 您 maureen 🙂
This is exactly what I needed to read. Thank 您 🙂
<3
Great message, 罗宾: ) I’m so glad 您 realized what 您 need to do to make 您r body happy. You are setting a great example!
thanks 对于 您r encouragement tara 🙂
hope 您’re well!
I loved this post so much! 我不’t go to a gym but I incorporate walking as much as possible through 我的 day. I like what 您 said about whatever 行使 we do it should be out of love 对于 our bodies and be enjoyable. I’m still working on loving 我的 body and not feeling guilty if 我不’t walk a certain amount. Also, to not feel guilty when 我不’t feel up to walking as much some days. Everything 您 wrote was so helpful! Thank 您!
很高兴这对lynda很有帮助-xo
是!运动应该带来欢乐,而不是增加压力。 --
是的是
我真的很喜欢这篇文章,Robyn!一世’我在你对面的空间’re in 对 now —在过去的一年左右的时间里’我经常走路,慢跑,偶尔做些低强度的瑜伽/力量训练,’感觉很好。但是现在我’我渴望更多的出汗和激烈(以及不同类型的运动),所以我’我一直在尝试一个新的体育馆,并参加所有可以参加的课程。感觉令人兴奋又有趣,而这正是我现在想要的!当它停止那种感觉时,我’我会回到不太正式的运动。考虑这一点有助于提醒我’如此正常,会经历运动的不同阶段,因此没有任何阶段是“wrong.”
玛吉可以双向走– I can certainly relate to the ebb and 流 of that! 🙂
喜欢这个!我最近辞职了’的训练营式锻炼,因为我意识到我只是在做外观,’t really enjoy it.
What yoga podcasts do 您 recommend??
so glad 您 were brave enough to say, hey, this 不是’t working 对于 me.
我爱大卫农民和人民瑜伽!
这篇文章是给我的!在大学期间,我开始跑步并开始参加半程马拉松比赛。从那以后,我参加了12到13场半程马拉松比赛,中间跑了5趟。在我生命中的这一点上,我忙于自己的私人培训工作,并且正在参加在线课程以担任健康教练,因此时间更加有限。
Nowadays, I still run, but only when 我的 body feels like it, and 我不’t stress as much if 我不’不要走太远。我喜欢旋转课,力量训练,甚至是瑜伽。
Thank 您 对于 this post. It was much needed.
I found 您r blog through a friend and this post resonated strongly. I’ve been exercising (and 休息ricting food) as punishment 对于 being overweight and having a big stomach. I 讨厌 exercising so much and always see it as a chore at best, emotionally and physically painful at worst. My husband calls it lazy…
我唯一的运动’ve ever enjoyed was when I was focused on glute building awhile back but that was because of a certain look I was attaining, not because I was making 我的 body stronger. 我不’不在乎力量,我只在乎我的外表。
Sad, 对?
我认为这对我来说是最重要的信息。
和我’mglad reading 您r 文章 . But want to remarkk on some general things, The website style is perfect, the 文章 s is really great :
D.干得好,干杯
