有关健身的英语作文【篇一：健身英语短文1】 how to make exercise a great part of your life are you exercising enough? for most people, the answer to that question is “no” especially at this time of year, during the holidays. exercise might not feel like your top priority right now. but keeping active is crucial for good physical and mental health. there are two key types of exercise that you can do: strength-training cardiovascular when you do strength-training, your weight will be redistributed giving you a more desirable shape. this happens through building muscles (and losing fat in other areas). for instance, if youre a man, you will be able to broaden your shoulders by chest and shoulder exercises. cardiovascular exercise (like jogging or cycling) lowers cholesterol, reduces blood pressure, and improves your mood. it also helps you to lose fat, which reduces the size of your fat cells helping your newly-defined muscles to show. how you can find time to exercise exercise represents something thats important but not necessarily urgent. if you dont exercise, it wont normally cause problems right away but over time, it can lead to serious illness. its essential to force important-but-not-urgent items into your schedule. that might mean you exercise:first thing in the morning immediately when you get home during your lunch hour or another scheduled break build exercise into the rhythm of your life until it becomes a habit. about three weeks ago, i took a cruise from boston to halifax to maine. along with a friend, i went to the gym every single day. despite eating very rich meals (and even partaking in a chocolate buffet!) i came back without having gained a single pound, because id kept up my exercise routine. use your body instead of thinking about “exercise”, think of how you can “use your body”. you could: take the stairs instead of the elevator park at the far end of the car park do some yoga before work take a five-minute walk to clear your mind anything that keeps you active. if you can, work on your goal as part of a community, perhaps alongside colleagues. many offices will have a weight-loss challenges and regular weigh-ins together. they may even have a personal trainer come in a couple of days a week and run exercise classes at work. dont wait until the new year to start being more active. begin today.【篇二：有关于运动的英语文章篇一】美联英语提供：有关于运动的英语文章篇一 barking off squirrels 打树猎松鼠 barking off was a type of squirrel hunting popular in america in the late 18th century and early 19th century. it was created in the backwoods of kentucky and popularized by renowned frontiersman daniel boone, who was famous for his marksmanship. the goal of the contest was to hunt squirrels, but not by shooting them. instead, the hunters would shoot the bark right below the squirrels. the impact was strong enough to shatter the bark and create a concussion blast powerful enough to kill the squirrels. for trophy hunters, this type of shooting had the added bonus of leaving the squirrels skin intact. the practice of barking off squirrels occurred at a time when the woods of kentucky were filled with these unlucky woodland critters. regular squirrel hunts were so frequent that it wasnt uncommon forhunting parties to kill thousands of them in a single day. the most successful hunter often was not the best shot but the guy who could reload the fastest. that was why a new test of skill was welcomed by both hunters and spectators, who would often gamble on the outcome of the sport. 比赛的目的虽说是猎杀松鼠，却不直接对松鼠射击，而是朝着松鼠正下方的树枝开枪。其威力能粉碎树皮，并产生足以夺取松鼠性命的爆破力。作为猎人的战利品，这种打猎方法还能保持松鼠的皮毛完好无损。肯塔基州的树林充满了这些不幸的小动物时，打树猎松鼠非常盛行。人人都爱好狩猎松鼠，以至于经常能在短短的一天内就射杀上千的松鼠。最成功的狩猎者往往不是最精准的射手，而是换子弹最快的人。该运动还衍生出了猎手和看客都喜爱的赌博给猎杀松鼠最多的射手下注。 equestrian long jump 马术跳远 many sports are created by combining two concepts that already existed. while some ideas have been successful, not all of them are winners. take equestrian long jump, for example. this sport took the human long jump and combined it with horse racing to create a sport that was less exciting than either.许多新运动就是两项已有的运动结合而来。虽然有些运动结合成功，但也不乏失败的。以马术跳远为例，这项运动结合了两项激动人心的赛事：跳远和赛马，结果产生的新运动却比不上原先的任何一个。there was a lot of interest in this concept in its early days. it was even featured as a sport at the 1900 summer olympics in paris as part of a double equestrian event that also featured the horse high jump.if you are wondering why the equestrian long jump is not popular today, its because it failed to make an impression. in fact, it was dowight anticlimactic. the gold medal was won by belgian racer constant van langhendonck and his horse, extra-dry. their winning leap measured 6.1 meters. although it was significantly better than any other horse jump that daysecond place came in at 5.7 meters-it was still lackluster as people were expecting an inhuman display of athletic prowess. for comparison, the current world record for a human long jump is 8.95 meters. turtle racing 乌龟赛跑 you might think that turtle racing doesnt count as a forgotten sport because it is still practiced today, but there are few similarities between the old and currentversions aside from the name. nowadays, turtle racing is a fun activity for kids you can find at county fairs. all the participants huddle up in the center of a circle and let their turtles loose. the creatures wander around aimlessly until one eventually makes it out of the circle and is declared the winner. 也许有人认为乌龟赛跑不算被历史遗忘，因为现如今这项运动仍然存在，但除名字相似以外，古今两个版本的乌龟赛跑再无相像之处。现今在乡村集市，经常可以看到孩子们玩乌龟赛跑。参赛者聚集在画好的圆圈里然后在中心处放下各自的乌龟，乌龟们漫无目的地游荡，直到有一只爬出圈子，这便是冠军。 that was not the case 100 years ago. back then, giant turtles were used in a genuine straight-line race. crowds of excited spectators watched impatiently from the sides just like they would at a horse race. the turtles even had small children riding them like jockeys. as bizarre as that image might be, there are even stranger claims about the origin of the sport. according to an article in the miami news, turtle racing first became popular in the bahamas, where it was a favorite local pastime. however, there were a few key differences. for starters, the races took place in water instead of on land, so giant sea turtles were used, typically loggerhead turtles. these turtles had men riding them as jockeys, and they werent just for show. they were there to make sure the animals followed the course, which was usually more complex than a simple straight line.此规则跟100年前的乌龟赛跑大相径庭。那会儿，大乌龟真的要直线赛跑。赛场周围挤满了兴奋的观众，仿佛看赛马般狂热。有时甚至会有小孩像赛马骑师一样骑在比赛的大乌龟身上。更好玩的是，居然还有人考究起这运动的起源来。根据迈阿密新闻的一篇文章，乌龟赛跑初始在巴哈马群岛，且深得民心。然而，这与我们之前讨论的又有些关键的区别。首先，这里的比赛场地在水中而非陆地，所以用巨型海龟参赛，通常是赤蠵龟。而且参赛者真的会坐在海龟上，这不是为了表演，而是为了确保海龟沿着复杂的比赛路径爬行。quintain 刺靶 jousting is an essential part of medieval lore. there was no better way for a knight to prove his valor than to enter a jousting tournament and perform in front of the king and his royal court. however, jousting champions are made, not born. in order to perfect their skills, knights would need to trainand thats quintain. instead of two knights charging at each other, one knight would charge at a stationary target
