55歲以上的英國女性則會花更多時間揮汗如雨地鍛煉,每周健身時間約4.8個小時,而全國平均水平為4.3小時。然而,太多人都只進行一種類型的鍛煉,比如每周跑步或上動感單車課,而不是涵蓋力量、耐力、靈活性的多樣化鍛煉。
健身專家、維京行動最新服務項目Beyond Movement的策劃人蒂姆•萊特說:
“Exercise won’t just help keep you slim, it’s also an important step to fighting the effect of ageing and improving your mental and physical. Working out regularly has multiple health benefits at any age but becomes increasingly important as we get older.”
“鍛煉不光能幫助你保持苗條身材,還是抗衰老、改善心理和身體健康的重要方法。定期鍛煉對各個年齡段的人而言都有多重健康益處,而且年紀越大,鍛煉越重要。”
那么我們在不同的年齡段該有的健康狀態(tài)是什么樣的呢?萊特給每個年齡段的人都制定了自查單。一起來看看吧。
