Exercise Defined
Santa manages to wiggle up and down millions of chimneys in a single night, but somehow throughout the holiday season we avoid visiting the gym even once, it’s not that we mean to be naughty, but between the stocking-stuffing, candle-lighting and party-hopping , we forget that it’s not just the tree that could use some trimming. Besides, there’s simply not enough time, right?
Good luck trying that excuse at Exercise Defined, a gym in the District’s Palisades neighborhood with an unusual fitness philosophy: Slow down to work out fast. Clients are advised to come in no more than twice a week for sessions that max out at 30 minutes, which is how long it takes to complete five or six exercises.
"It’s referred to as slow burn or super slow. Twenty seconds would be an ideal repetition. And hopefully, you’re not on any one machine for more than three minutes," explains trainer Courtney Manuel. (She, by the way, hasn’t seen a drop-off in appointments over the holidays and is booked solid for Christmas Eve.)
The catch—and you knew there had to be a catch—is that although the pace is leisurely, the feeling is anything but. "Nobody that works out here tells you it’s fun," she warns before we enter the gym, which looks like a torture chamber, thanks to loads of unfamiliar equipment in a white and tan color scheme. With the instructions given by the trainer, I managed to challenge my physical extreme on a series of machines. At the end of the 30 minutes’ work out, I found my entire body wiped out.
The next morning, I ring Pete McCall, an exercise physiologist for the American Council on Exercise, to see what he thinks of super slow as a super-fast exercise strategy. "If you’re fit and incredibly busy, it would work," he says. But for most folks, he’d shy away from recommending the program, which can’t really be done on your own and the kind of exercise that prepares you for daily life.
However, McCall says anyone short of time should pay attention to the intensity of an Exercise Defined workout, since so many people spend hours at the gym without accomplishing much. "You want to have a plan and know exactly what you’re doing today. Write it out," he says. Compound exercises (ones such as wood chops that activate the upper and lower body) and, circuit training (which raises the heart rate) are his standard suggestions for making the most of a quickie workout. McCall also supports that get-off-the-Metro-a-stop-early trick to walk more.
Another exercise physiologist giving thought to the time issue is Scan Foy, who’s written The 10-Minute Total Body Breakthrough to explain his 4-3-2-1 approach to exercise.
It’s four minutes of high-energy aerobic training (HEAT), three minutes of resistance training, two minutes of core work and one minute of deep breathing and stretching. That may not sound like much, but for someone new to exercise, it’s all Foy would recommend as a start.
When all you have is 10 minutes, setting aside one for something that doesn’t burn calories might sound silly, but Foy says the breathing and stretching portion is key to recovery and relaxation—things we could use a lot more of during the holidays.
And you don’t need to wait until you’ve nursed your New Year’s hangover to get started.
Pete McCall’s attitude towards the fitness philosophy of Exercise Defined is______.
选项
A、positive
B、negative
C、dialectical
D、indifferent
答案
C
解析
观点态度题。据题干关键词Pete McCall定位到第五段。该段第二句可知,麦考尔认为对于健康却又繁忙的人来说,这种锻炼方法是可行的。第三句可知,他不太推荐这套方案,因为人们不能真正独立地完成它,而且这种运动类型也不会成为人们的日常运动。因此麦考尔对于这种健身方式的态度是辩证的。所以[C]应为正确选项。
