沒時間運動是藉口:工作再忙也要動起來大綱
An early morning workout may burn more calories, and improve your body's performance capabilities, but let's face it, some of us would rather sleep in and hit the gym after work. That's OK; evening workouts have their perks.
清晨鍛鍊可以燃燒更多熱量，並提高你的體能，但面對現實吧，我們中的一些人寧願早上睡覺下班後去健身房。這樣做也可以，晚上鍛鍊也有好處。If you'd much rather exercise after you've clocked your eight hours at work, here are some tips to make evening workouts a priority.
如果你寧願在工作8小時後健身，這裏有一些小貼士，能讓晚上鍛鍊更具優勢。Avoid an Afternoon Slump — Eating a big, greasy meal for lunch and then treating yourself to unhealthy snacks throughout the afternoon is one of the best ways to kibosh an early evening workout session. Refined carbs and sugar will take a toll on energy levels, so be sure to eat a healthy lunch that includes a good mix of lean protein, veggies, complex carbs, and healthy fats. This will help keep you feeling full and energized without giving you that lethargic feeling.
避免一下午的“墮落”——吃了一大頓油膩的午餐，然後下午又吃了垃圾零食，這些都是妨礙你參加傍晚鍛鍊的“最佳途徑”。精製碳水化合物和糖分會嚴重消耗你的能量，所以午餐一定要吃得健康，要包括瘦肉蛋白、蔬菜、複雜的碳水化合物和健康的脂肪。這將有助於你維持飽腹感而且充滿活力，不讓你感覺昏昏欲睡。
Pack Your Gym Bag Before Bed — If you're not a morning person to begin with, finding time to get your gym items together may cut into what little time you have to shower or eat. Before you go to bed, get your gym bag put together and set it right at the door. Doing this will make sure you include all of your essential gym items, and you won't forget to grab it as you're leaving.
睡前收拾好你的健身包——如果你不是早起鍛鍊的人，爲了要騰出時間收拾你的健身用品，本來洗澡或吃飯的那一點點時間可能會更少。在你上牀睡覺之前，把健身包擺在一起，並放在門口。這樣做將確保你準備好所有必要的健身用品，你出門時就不會忘記要帶了。Happy Hour Can Wait — You take your gym bag with you to work, but then Sally in the next cubicle reminds you that it's Greg's birthday and everyone is going to happy hour to celebrate. You may think that this is the perfect excuse to get out of your date with the treadmill, but happy hour can wait — and besides, you can squeeze in a quick workout and make it to Greg's birthday bash.
歡樂時光先等一等——你帶着健身包去上班了，但隨後隔壁格子間的Sally提醒你今天是Greg的生日，每個人要去狂歡慶祝。你可能覺得這是一個可以擺脫和跑步機“約會”的完美藉口，但歡樂時光可以等待——此外，你可以擠出點時間快速鍛鍊下，然後再趕去Greg的生日會。Sign Up For Classes With a Co-Worker — Not only does signing up for classes help keep you accountable for your after-work gym sessions, but going to them with a co-worker also leaves little room for excuses! If you buddy up with someone from work, you'll be less likely to skip out on trips from the office to the gym. And really, who doesn't like a gym buddy?
和同事一起報名參加健身班——報班健身不僅能讓你下班後堅持去健身房，和同事一起鍛鍊也能讓你很少找藉口逃避！如果你和工作夥伴一起，就不太會逃避從辦公室到健身房的那段路了。當然，誰不喜歡一個“健身房好友”呢？
