이번주 주제는 group exercise 에 대한 내용이네요.
길거리 가면서 나눠주는 전단지 중에 요새 꽤 많이 보이는게 fittness 업체인 것 같아요.
현대인들의 건강에 대한 관심이 높아지면서 운동을 시작하는 사람들이 많아졌지요?
혼자서 하는 운동도 좋지만 함께 하면서 얻는 여러 장점들이 있어 group exercise도 많이 선호하는 것 같아요 ~
스크립트 내용 보면서 함께 나눠보아요~~.
Group exercise has become very popular in recent years.
We talk about going to the gym and why gym membership is becoming increasingly popular.
Philip has a theory to explain why group exercise has become so popular in recent year.
Philip Mills, CEO of Les Mills International
As people have become more sedentary they've realised that they need to move for their health. We work about 35% more hours than we used to work in the 60s.
And people are too busy to play sports.
Society has become fragmented and a lot of the things that used to bring people together don't exist anymore.
But, you know, we're tribal animals pack animals and the gym has been one of the things that helps people to commune.
sedentary lifestyles!
We do all spend too much time sitting down
we're probably spending more time sitting down than we used to because we're working a lot more.
And because we're busier with work, we have less time to take exercise.

왜 앉아있는 것이 당신에게 해로운가?
So why are we choosing to go to the gym these days, rather than heading down to the park to play football?
Philip Mills thinks it's because society has become fragmented and we're losing the social connectedness that made it easy to get together and take exercise.
We miss that social connectedness that feeling of belonging to a group because we are essentially tribal animals. And a tribe is a group of people who live together and they share the same language and the same culture.
So even now most of us have left tribal society behind, we still want to feel like we're part of a group that we can commune with which means to get close to someone or something.
But the question is Rob, does group exercise at the gym actually succeed in connecting us with other people?
Philip Mills thinks in the future we'll be cycling inside a video game using computer graphics – you know, visiting other planets, travelling to different times…
I'm afraid so. And you won't even have a real instructor barking instructions at you!
Go for a hike.
Gather your friends and plan a day of fun and fitness at a local, state, or national park.
Pack a lunch, plenty of water, and your camera.
Team sports.
Recreational leagues are available for men and women of all ages and abilities.
You’ll get together for practices and games and may even travel to tournaments. Check with your local parks and recreation department or search for softball, baseball, soccer, volleyball, or tennis leagues online.
Join or start a walking group.
Whether it’s ladies-only, gents-only, or a mixed group, let the conversation flow as you rack up the steps and move toward better health.
Walk around the neighborhood, at the mall, or at a park.
Take turns leading the walk, and encourage each member to map out a different course for variety.
If time allows, enjoy a hot or cool beverage together after your walk.
Put on your dancing shoes.
Even if you’ve never danced a step in your life, it’s never too late to learn how. Learning how to swing, tango, rhumba, or do the Hustle is fun, energizing, and a great way to sneak in some exercise.
Some communities offer dance clubs where members meet regularly to learn new steps and practice together.
Join a group fitness class.
Invite your friends to sign up for an exercise class together.
There’s an endless variety of formats to choose from: water aerobics, yoga, Pilates, martial arts, Zumba step, cardio kickboxing, cycling, boot camp, and more. You’re sure to find something that makes you sweat and laugh.
Consider small-group personal training.
Working with a certified personal trainer can help you break through fitness plateaus and reach new levels of health and fitness.
Small-group training sessions are more fun and often less costly than one-on-one sessions. Look for a certified personal trainer who offers group sessions, and invite a friend or two to join you.
Enjoy seasonal activities.
Make fitness a year-round habit by sharing fall, winter, spring, and summer activities. Resolve to try new sports together and find some new favorites.
From fishing and camping to snowshoeing and sailing, if you maintain an open mind and an adventurous spirit, you’ll never run out of ideas for fun and fitness.
Get out of town.
Take an active vacation together and enjoy walking tours, bike tours, kayaking, or golf. Go on a picture safari, explore the bell towers of medieval cathedrals, tour museums and historical sites, and have a ball.
