From Xiaobai to Boxer —— How do women over 40 keep healthy?
I am a 40-year-old female who has been exercising for more than one year (this "persistence" means basically ensuring 90% of the days of each month, that is, 27 days, and the daily fitness time is not less than 45 minutes). Before that, I was a lazy person who basically "don't stand if you can sit, and don't sit if you can lie down". If someone had told me that I would be an athlete, I would have thought they were talking about someone else. So, how to realize the transformation and reverse the inertia of inaction for decades? Physical fitness from the heart is of course a necessary condition, but it is not sufficient. Otherwise, why do so many people who are clamoring for exercise and running lose interest in three or two days?

If the time is not fixed, you may "forget" intentionally or unintentionally, which will affect the smooth persistence of fitness. This should not be difficult to understand;

Don't be disturbed, mainly to avoid other things affecting the fitness plan, such as fitness at night, which is likely to be interrupted by overtime and parties.

So, what time of day is the least likely to be disturbed? By the way, it's morning Work and socializing in the morning have not yet started, so it is the least likely to be disturbed when using this time, especially when you get up one hour earlier than usual. This time seems to be extra, so you can "earn" fitness time. At this time, you can "pretend" to fall asleep without turning on your mobile phone, so nothing will happen and the news will not affect your fitness!

Of course, getting up early takes time. Although it is not easy to go to bed early, we can use the pleasure brought by getting up early to exercise to force ourselves to play less mobile phones at night and go to bed early, which is also a wrong way.

Besides doing morning exercises, I can ride a bike and play the piano, but the best thing I insist on is doing morning exercises, because I have to practice when I wake up and open my eyes, which is not affected by work and family affairs.

Easy to achieve includes: low site requirements, short arrival distance, no need for sports partners, and no influence from the weather.

Venue: I don't recommend swimming and squash, because they all need a fixed venue, need to go specially, swim and change clothes, and then wash your hair and take a shower, which will take up a lot of non-sports time and is not easy to stick to. If you encounter something like site maintenance, you are glad that you have found an opportunity to be lazy, and then there is no such thing. ...

It doesn't take long to arrive, but it doesn't need to run far. For example, don't choose a gym with better conditions in the distance. If you are closer and a few steps away, it will be easier to stick to it.

Needless to say, sports partners need the cooperation of others. Others have no time, so they have to give up and choose a sport that one can do, so there is no such trouble. This may be one of the reasons for the running fever.

No matter what the weather is like, choose some sports that can be done indoors or even at home, such as yoga, skipping rope and treadmill, so there is no excuse not to exercise in bad weather.

My own choices are running and yoga. I come once every once in a while, running and yoga every day. Running in the community, there is no distance. If it is rainy, I will practice yoga at home, without delaying morning exercises. By the way, aerobic cardiopulmonary training and anaerobic flexibility training take turns to practice, which is one of the basic methods of fitness. Heart, lung and flexibility have greater influence on the body than muscles. Cross training is very suitable for body and mind. You also need to stretch dynamically before running, and then do static stretching. Let's talk about it later.

Although the word "persistence" has always been used in the past, in fact, nothing can be "persisted" for a long time only by individual persistence. Under normal circumstances, it takes a lot of perseverance to change the inertia that has not been exercised in the early stage. It usually takes a month to form a new inertia, so it is easier to continue. In another month, the benefits of fitness will also appear. These benefits, including getting stronger, not getting sick easily, getting better, turning pale and red, will push you forward.

It is because of the great improvement in all aspects of body and mind after fitness, such as sub-health, dysmenorrhea, and improved figure, that I have been insisting on exercise for fear that I will not be able to move, and my body has returned to its previous appearance. Although I am not sick, I have been sick.

Of course, you can also find some short-term goals that are more suitable for your needs and give yourself some rewards after reaching them; For example, losing weight, biceps brachii, six-pack abdominal muscles and a horse can all help you keep working hard. When you work hard for a period of time, your body and mind are improved, and your friends praise you for your perseverance and figure, you will never stop!

In July last year, I started to play monthly cards, and sent the times of fitness, cycling, piano practice and other related data and pictures to my circle of friends, which was encouraged by my friends and increased my motivation to stick to it. And every time I want to be lazy, I think: if I don't practice, will my circle of friends be embarrassed to send it? So let's keep exercising!

Including the article I am writing, I am also urging myself: I have written myself as an "athlete", so why not continue to exercise? Everyone has a "self-fulfilling prophecy" ("in communication psychology, it is used to describe the influence of secret environment on people's behavior", translated into human language, that is, people will take the initiative to verify their predictions). Since I have marked myself as such a person, I will naturally tend to realize this prediction and keep exercising.

Don't set a goal of running 10 km a day at the beginning. This is unscientific, and it may hurt your health. What's more, it may hit you and make you want to give up immediately!

Start with the least amount of exercise, run a few hundred meters on the first day, or do three push-ups, so there will be no great psychological pressure at the beginning. When you really reach this preliminary standard, your body has already moved. At this time, you can choose to increase the amount a little. If you don't increase, you have also fulfilled your commitment to yourself, which will form a benign self-affirmation and promote the later actions. After a few days of persistence, you can try to improve your requirements, slowly let your body and mind accept this intensity and gradually improve it. Believe me, you don't need a perfect plan to start practicing, but you will gradually feel the changes of your body and mind in the process, and your body will give you guidance, starting from the ordinary and moving towards excellent results!

Well, I'd like to share with you some experiences of my fitness today, including: First, choose a time without being disturbed (the best time is morning); Second, I want to choose a fitness method that doesn't require much on the spot; Third, I should promote my physical and mental exercise through good incentives; Fourth, I want to share punching and exercise under the encouragement and supervision of my friends; The fifth is to start with low intensity, practice first, and don't pursue perfection! I hope it will help you and keep moving forward on the road of fitness! Come on!
