3. Don't Expect Perfection
3、不要期待完美
Another pitfall is all-or-nothing thinking, a perfectionist way of looking at life that leads to giving up when you miss a day or two or your workout doesn’t go well. Endress says if you accept that there will be some sidesteps on your fitness journey, you’ll be better prepared mentally to deal with setbacks.
Expect that you'll get sick from time to time, and be psychologically prepared to miss a few days of exercise when that happens. Don’t let it be an excuse for giving up. "From then on, many people say, ‘I can’t exercise,'" Endress says. "But there’s always a way to exercise."
另外一個陷阱是要么全有或全無的想法。當一兩天沒有鍛煉或者戶外運動做不好的時候,那些對生活持完美主義方式的人終將半途而廢。Endress說,如果你接受自己的健身日程里存在一些空檔,你最好準備克服心理上的挫折。期望越大則失望越大,為以防萬一心理上先做好幾天沒鍛煉的準備。但不要讓它成為放棄的借口。“從那個時候開始,很多人會說,‘我不能鍛煉啦’,” Endress表示,“但事實上總有鍛煉的方法的。”
To keep injuries from sidelining you, do your best to prevent them by warming up, cooling down, stretching properly, and not doing too much too soon.
為了防止受傷,你最好健身前合理地做熱身,緩沖和拉抻運動。不要做太多和太快。
