1 . Four ways to make exercise feel as fun as a game
Have an objective
When you’re playing a game, there’s always an objective. It helps you focus on the task at hand and motivates you to keep playing until you win the game. Exercise should be no different. Create a clear fitness goal.
In order to see your progress and whether you’ve achieved your objective, it helps to track your physical activity.
Research suggests that adding an element of competition to your exercise routine can actually help you work out harder. If you’re seeking a similar motivation, look into fitness programs that encourage friendly competition against other teams in a virtual world. They track your scores and progress against your friends on a board.
Team up with friends
Getting a group of friends to work together toward a common goal is also an effective way to increase physical activity.
Add an element of unpredictability
| A．Compete against others |
| B．Play against a friend to get competitive |
| C．People love video games because there’s a lot of surprise |
| D．If exercise, even for a few minutes, makes you feel slightly happy |
| E．In a group, friends tend to encourage each other to try to meet their goal |
| F．If your goal is to do something physically active at least 150 minutes a week |
| G．Aim to walk 10,000 steps a day, for example, or try to run 6 miles every week |

3 . There's more evidence that what's good for your heart is good for your head. A new study shows that people who run, swim or do other moderate intensity （中等强度）exercise have brains that look, on average, 10 years younger than the brains of couch potatoes.
“Our study showed that for older people, getting moderate intensity exercise may be protective, helping them keep their brains work better," said Dr. Clinton Wright of the University of Miami, who led the study. But it's not necessarily easy. Walking, golf, bowling and yoga don't count, and people need to start before they begin showing memory loss, Wright' s team reported in the journal Neurology.
The study of nearly 900 people who exercise regularly showed that 90 percent fell into the low-intensity group. These people are part of a larger group taking part in a bigger study called Northern Manhattan Study. They were asked how long and how often they exercised during the past two weeks. Five years later, they were tested for memory and thinking skills and got a brain MRI. Seven years after that, they took the memory and thinking tests again. The 10 percent who said they took part in moderate intensity exercise scored better on the tests. These included running, climbing, swimming, riding bicycles and so on.
“We found that those with moderate intensity activity had higher scores and slower decline than inactive people when comparing the results," the study team wrote.
Many studies have shown that exercise may not prevent Alzheimer's disease but may delay it. The findings fit in with a study that found two years of exercising, eating healthier food and brain training can promote people's memory function.
1. What's true about the study?| A．Most people surveyed took low-intensity exercise. |
| B．Only 900 people took part in the bigger study. |
| C．High-intensity exercise is better. |
| D．Ten people scored best on the tests. |
| A．By observing people exercise. | B．By using examples. |
| C．By making a comparison. | D．By doing a brain MRI. |
| A．Exercise will definitely strengthen people's memory. |
| B．Alzheimer's disease may be held back by moderate intensity exercise. |
| C．Exercise can put off the beginning of memory decline. |
| D．The findings fit in with the study of healthy food. |
| A．How to keep health. |
| B．Ways to make your brain work better. |
| C．To exercise or not. |
| D．Moderate intensity exercises keeps your brain younger. |
4 . It's the start of a new year, when your fitness goals are set and you engage in the challenge.
Set realistic goals! The process of building muscle is an absolutely slow one that requires strong will to gain. Consistently causing protein synthesis （合成）in specific muscle fibers will allow muscle to develop. However, all individuals are not equal in the process.
Stick to specific training for the goals you set to achieve.
Once a goal is reached, do not go back to what you did before. When people finish their transformation, the hormone profile is very weak to fat deposition （沉积）。Every training session should be a step toward a lasting transformation, with a diet improving the level of exercise.
| A．Don't try to achieve too much at once. |
| B．Why do so few people see their goals through? |
| C．Give yourself a realistic timeline when it comes to fat loss. |
| D．Keeping running slowly leads to very big changes over time. |
| E．Appreciate that you are taking time for your own development. |
| F．Place restrictions on your diet and follow good food eating patterns. |
| G．Also, it depends on how long you have been training to achieve muscle growth. |
