Cozy Cardio1:A New Trend2 for　Home Exercise慢节奏有氧运动：居家运动的新趋势

A new exercise trend called“cozycardio” has become popular on somesocial media ever since a woman namedHope Zuckerbrow began posting videos inlate 2022.

Cozy cardio simply is walking inplace—in your comfortable home—using amini treadmill3. There’s no stress4， no costsin the gym and you can even have a cup ofhottea by yourside.

“I get so many messages from men andwomen—so many people—saying somethinglike ‘thank you so much for kind of tell mewhat exercise can be，’”Zuckerbrow says.

Wearing soft trousers， you make ahealthy juice or cup of tea and put on afavorite TV show or movie. With yourdrink beside you， you can walk for anhour， and maybe walk just a bit fasteronce you’re warmed up.

自从一位名为霍普·扎克布罗的女性在2022 年底开始发布视频以来，一种名为“慢节奏有氧运动”的新运动趋势在社交媒体上流行起来。

慢节奏有氧运动就是在你舒适的家中使用微型跑步机原地行走。没有压力，没有健身房花费，你甚至可以在旁边放一杯热茶。

扎克布罗说：“我收到男性和女性，很多人发来的信息，比如‘非常感谢你告诉我锻炼可以是这样的’。”

穿着柔软的裤子，你可以冲一杯健康的果汁或茶，然后看最喜欢的电视节目或电影。有了饮料在身边，你可以走一个小时，也许热身后可以走得更快一点。

Could this style of easy workout helppeople stick with exercise long after NewYear ends？ The answer could be yes， saysAlex Montoye， an expert in Michigan. Shesays that people who change5 fromenergetic6 daily workouts to cozy cardio maythink they get less exercise than before. Butfor someone who would like to watch TVfrom the couch， watch while walking， whichis much better—especially7 if it becomes adailyhabit.

People work hardto make healthy habitsstick8， which makescozy cardio a goodidea， says Catherine Sanderson， a professorin Massachusetts.

She says，“It very much relies9 on theidea of，‘It’s not just that I’m exercising.I’m getting to watch my favorite show.I’m trying something I want to be doingalready.’”

这种简单的锻炼方式能帮助人们在新年结束很久后坚持锻炼吗？密歇根专家亚历克斯·蒙托耶说，答案可能是肯定的。她说，那些从精力充沛的日常锻炼转向慢节奏有氧运动的人可能认为他们的运动量比以前少了。对于喜欢坐在沙发上看电视的人来说，边走边看要好得多———尤其是如果这成了一种日常习惯的话。

马萨诸塞州教授凯瑟琳·桑德森说，人们努力保持健康的习惯使舒适的有氧运动成为一个好主意。

她说：“这在很大程度上依赖于这样一种想法：这不仅仅是我在锻炼。我要看我最喜欢的节目了。我已经正在尝试那些我一直想做的事情。”
