A new kind of exercise idea is becoming popular in the United States. Social media is bringing attention to “cozy cardio.” It means doing light cardiovascular exercise at home.一种新的运动想法在美国变得越来越流行。 社交媒体正在引起“舒适的有氧运动”的关注。 这意味着在家进行轻型心血管运动。Physical inactivity is a problem in the United States. The most recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says 25 percent of Americans reported they had not done any physical activity in the past month.在美国，身体不活动是一个问题。 疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）的最新数据说，有25％的美国人报告说，他们在过去一个月没有进行任何体育锻炼。The CDC says that one in two American adults do not get enough cardiovascular exercise. Inactivity can have serious health effects. So, many Americans are looking to develop a new exercise habit.疾病预防控制中心（CDC）说，两分之二的美国成年人没有得到足够的心血管运动。 不活动会产生严重的健康影响。 因此，许多美国人正在寻求培养一种新的运动习惯。“Cozy cardio” has gained popularity as an easy and painless way to increase physical activity levels. This method of calorie burning has gained popularity on TikTok and Instagram ever since a woman named Hope Zuckerbrow began posting videos in late 2022.“舒适的有氧运动”已成为提高体育锻炼水平的一种简单且无痛的方式。 自从一位名叫Hope Zuckerbrow的女性开始在2022年末发布视频以来，这种卡路里燃烧方法就在Tiktok和Instagram上广受欢迎。Cozy cardio involves walking in place by using a small treadmill or “walking pad.”舒适的有氧运动涉及使用小跑步机或“步行垫”来到位。No gym payments are involved.不涉及健身房付款。“I get so many messages from men and women – so many people – saying something along the lines of ‘thank you so much for…flipping my mindset on what I thought exercise is supposed to be,’” Zuckerbrow said. “This feels so doable.”Zuckerbrow说：“我从男人和女人那里收到了很多信息 - 很多人 - 在‘非常感谢您的心中说话……在我认为锻炼应该是的事情上倾听我的心态。’” “这真是太可行了。”Supporters say what is important about “cozy cardio” is the setup.支持者说，“舒适的有氧运动”的重要性是设置。You wear comfortable clothes and organize your environment to your liking. You can light candles, have a healthy drink, or even put on a favorite TV show or movie.您穿舒适的衣服，并组织环境。 您可以点燃蜡烛，喝健康的饮料，甚至可以放上喜欢的电视节目或电影。Alex Montoye of Alma College said, for some people, easy exercise such as “cozy cardio” could help them develop an exercise habit.阿尔玛学院（Alma College）的亚历克斯·蒙托伊（Alex Montoye）说，对于某些人来说，诸如“舒适的有氧运动”之类的简单运动可以帮助他们养成运动习惯。Montoye said for people who would otherwise watch TV while sitting, walking can help them make progress. That is especially true if exercise becomes a habit.蒙托耶说，对于那些坐在坐着电视的人来说，步行可以帮助他们取得进步。 如果运动成为习惯，尤其如此。People struggle to make healthy habits last over time. That is why cozy exercise is such a good idea, said Catherine Sanderson of Amherst College in Massachusetts. She wrote the health book, The Positive Shift: Mastering Mindset to Improve Happiness, Health, and Longevity.人们努力使健康的习惯持续使用。 马萨诸塞州阿默斯特学院的凯瑟琳·桑德森（Catherine Sanderson）说，这就是为什么舒适的运动是一个好主意的原因。 她写了健康书《积极的转变：掌握思维方式》，以改善幸福，健康和寿命。“It fits in with a lot of what we know about how to get people to actually maintain behavior change,” Sanderson said.桑德森说：“这符合我们对如何使人们真正维持行为改变的许多知识。”Along with removing the barriers to exercise, she said, “It very much relies on what psychologists would call positive reinforcement — the idea of, ’It’s not just that I’m exercising…I’m tapping into something I want to be doing already.”她说，除了消除运动障碍之外，“这在很大程度上取决于心理学家所说的积极强化 - '的想法，'不仅是我在锻炼……我正在利用我想做的事情。”As cozy cardio becomes more popular, Zuckerbrow said she hears from people who did not realize they could enjoy easy exercise.随着舒适的有氧运动变得越来越受欢迎，扎克罗说，她听到了那些没有意识到自己可以轻松锻炼的人的消息。Alyssa Royse, owner of Rocket Community Fitness in Seattle, has been mixing workouts at her gym and cozy exercise at home. Some days she turns off the sound on her Peloton exercise bicycle and watches TV because it takes her “brain somewhere else.”西雅图Rocket Community Fitness的所有者Alyssa Royse一直在她的健身房和家里舒适的锻炼中混合锻炼。 有时候，她关闭了Peloton锻炼自行车上的声音，并看电视，因为它使她的“大脑在其他地方”。“Too many people look at exercise as an all-or-nothing thing,” Royse said. “It doesn’t give people room to just be where they are today. And I think that’s incredibly important.”罗伊斯说：“太多的人将运动视为全有或全无的事情。” “这并不能使人们成为今天的位置。我认为这非常重要。”
