Current Attitudes Towards Physical Fitness
Recently we were told by a student that setting aside time for improving his physical fitness would be a total misuse of his working hours.He tried to convince us that he would be no better served by a fitness program than by learning to play bridge.The college and his preparations for a career were his only purposes.This student's opinion is one of the many feelings that people hold about their personal involvement in a physical fitness program.Many people,including college students of all ages,spend little time on physical fitness program.There are various reasons.However,what about the majority(大多数) who could do much more but do so little?Does one of the following statements sound like you?
"I know it's important,but I just don't have time right now."
"I'm already fit,and with my schedule,I'll have no difficulty staying that way."
If one of the following comments fits you,perhaps you are failing to see the broader values of maintaining(维持) a high level of physical fitness.
"Everyone in the dorm runs at night.That's why I run."
"This weekend will be cool and nice.Saturday looks like a good day for a personal record."
If you see your own attitude represented by one of the comments(评论),we would suggest that you reexamine your approach to fitness and its ability to positively influence other aspects of your life.Keep in mind that all people are different and some may progress faster than others.In the final analysis,we think that although fitness will not guarantee(保证) that you will live longer,it can help you enjoy the years you do live.
