运动需要借口吗?

有的人一谈到他们的身体状况,他们就头疼,有的说太胖了,有的说胆固醇高,有的说浑身无力,无精打采的,但是建议他们参加运动,他们的借口倒又是很多了,例如以下这些:

1. “I don't have enough time to exercise.”

Even short low-impact intervals of exercise can act as apowerful tool to supercharge your health. If you have time for a15-minute walk with the dog, your body will thank you in manyways.

“我没时间参加锻炼。”

短时间的运动就足以让你的身体健康状况得到改善,如果每天坚持15分钟遛狗漫步,你的身体都会有很大改善。
