Let's Get Physical!  體適能運動讓您活出健康人生


  When most people think of physical fitness, they think of hitting the gym. In reality, physical fitness is better defined in two separate categories. The first and most important is a person's state of health and well-being. In other words, it is not just about how much weight you can lift. Instead, it is more about how healthy your body is. A balanced diet, frequent exercise, and proper rest will enable you to perform daily tasks better. In addition, it will help boost your body's immune system when combating diseases.
  To improve your overall level of physical fitness, spending hours at a gym, which may cost lots of money to join, is not required. The Internet is full of practical tips that can help you add stretches and simple moves to your daily routine. For example, you can sit on an exercise ball instead of an office chair. Push-ups, sit-ups, and squats can easily be done at the foot of your bed and will help your blood flow. In Taiwan, playgrounds are not just for kids. Exercise equipment can be found in most parks and is available for public use at any hour of the day or night.

  多數人想到體適能運動就會聯想到上健身房。事實上,體適能應該被界定為兩個不同類別才比較恰當。第一種、同時也是最重要的,就是一個人的健康狀況及舒適幸福度。換言之,重點並非只在於您舉重能舉多重。它而是跟您身體健康的程度更為相關。均衡的飲食、頻繁的運動和適當的休息,這些都會讓您在處理日常事務時更加得心應手。此外,它還會在您對抗疾病時,強化您體內的免疫系統。
  想要改善您整體的體適能程度,在健身房待上好幾個小時,這種可能會花上大把銀子來入會的做法並不必要。網路上充滿各種實用的小技巧,可以幫助您在日常作息中加入一些伸展或簡單的運動。舉例來說,您可以坐在健身彈力球上來取代坐辦公椅。伏地挺身、仰臥起坐和交互蹲跳的動作都可以輕輕鬆鬆在床尾進行,藉此幫助您的血液循環。在台灣,公園裡的遊樂場並非孩子們所專屬。多數的公園裡都能找得到運動器材,供大眾在白天或晚上的任何時段使用。

為什麼不肯推出大螢幕iPhone?蘋果的說法是,手機要能單手操作。你可以說這是銷售話術,但能單手用姆指順利操作手機這點是很實際的。另一個蘋果沒有明說的是「螢幕解析度」。
