Ngaba Ungahlala Ukwimo Ukuba Ukucaphukela Ukuzilolonga?

Umxholo

• Uphengululo lwe

Hayi apho, ndim! Intombazana kumqolo ongasemva weebhayisekile, ifihle kumhlohli. Intombazana ikhethe okokugqibela kwibhola ekhatywayo. Intombazana ethanda ukunxiba iileggings zokuzilolonga, kodwa ngenxa yokuba zikhululekile kwaye zihlala zinesitayile.

Ndiziva ndonwabile xa ndisebenza, kodwa ukuzilolonga endikukhethayo yiyoga. Yoga yonke imihla. Ndibhalisele iClassPass, nto leyo ethetha ukuba ndinamakhulu eeklasi zesiXeko saseNew York endinazo, kodwa ndihlala ndithatha iinguqulelo ezahlukeneyo zenamaste. Abahlobo bahlala bendimema ukuya kwiiklasi ezinzima-iinkampu zebhuthi, ukubheqa, ukubaleka, ukujikeleza-kodwa ndihlala ndisala.

Ndikuthiyile ukuziva ngathi andikwazi ukuphefumla. Ndikuthiyile ukuziva ngathi intliziyo yam izakususa ubambo lwam.Ndiyayithiya into yokuba ulusu lwam oluluthuthu lujika lube mfusa kwimizuzu emine ye-cardio kwaye luhlala lulolo hlobo iiyure emva koko, ngokungathi ndisandula ukubeleka. (FYI: Ukuqaqamba kwezihlunu kwangemva kokuSebenza Kubetha Abantu Ngamaxesha Ahlukeneyo.)

Ngaba ndimosha ixesha lam, nangona kunjalo, kukuya kwiyoga kuphela? Ewe ndifumana izibonelelo zen zen zokufumana uxinzelelo kunye nokuphefumla okunzulu, kodwa kunokwenzeka ukuba ndenza i-jack squat yomzimba wam. Ke ndaye ndazama ukuxoxa lo mbandela kunye neengcali ezimbalwa: UDaniel V. Vigil, MD, unjingalwazi kwisikolo i-UCLA sikaDavid Geffen School of Medicine, kunye noFelicia Stoler, ingcali yokutya kunye nokwenza umthambo.

Kwangoko kwilulwane, bobabini oogqirha babenononophelo besithi andifanele ndinkqonkqoze iyoga. Izifundo zibonisa ukuba Kulungile ukuSebenza ngokuBonisa amandla asezantsi. Kwaye ngokwesayensi, i-yoga inezinto ezintle ezicacileyo. Ezinye kulula ukulinganisa ukunciphisa umzimba, ukonyusa amandla- "kodwa ke kukho amandla angcono, ukuzithemba, kunye nezinye izibonelelo zengqondo ezicacileyo," utshilo uVigil. (Ahem, njengalezi ziNzuzo zeMpilo ezi-6 zeYoga.)

Kwakhona, akulunganga ukucebisa ukuba bonke abathandi be-cardio baziiparagons ngokuzenzekelayo zempilo. Kuxhomekeke kumzimba wakho, uhlobo lwe-cardio, ukuba usebenza nzima kangakanani, njalo njalo. Inyani yile, unokwenza iiyure ezimbalwa zokuzilolonga ngeveki, kodwa ukuba ulichitha lonke ixesha ekupheleni kwakho, oko kuyingozi njengokutshaya, utshilo uStoler.

Kulungile, inqaku lithathiwe. Ukuziqhelanisa neyoga ngokuqinisekileyo kungcono kunokuba ungenzi nto kwaphela. Kodwa ngokutsiba ukusebenza kakhulu, intliziyo yam ayifumani mpilo. "Awusebenzi kwinkqubo yentliziyo yakho," ucacisa uStoler, kwaye izibonelelo zecardio zicacile. "Izinga lentliziyo elisezantsi, amanqanaba angcono eswekile yegazi, i-cholesterol ephantsi, ukuxinana kwamathambo, kunye nokugcinwa kwemisipha," uyakhawuleza. Kwaye ezo zimbalwa. (Kufuneka uqaphele: Akunyanzelekanga ukuba ubaleke kude ukuze uvune izibonelelo zokubaleka.)

Ndiyazi ukuba i-cardio iyimfuneko. Ndiyazi ukuba kubalulekile kumzimba ophilileyo kunye nobomi obude. Ke kutheni le nto irhabaxa emzimbeni wam, kwaye kutheni indenza ndibuthiye ubomi bam (kuloo mizuzu ingamashumi amane anesihlanu, ubuncinci)? Kubonakala ngathi iyaphikisana.

UVigil ugxeka "intlungu ye-metabolic." "Oko kuthetha ukuthini, xa usebenza nzima ngokwenene, ubetha umqobo wakho we-lactate, okanye indawo apho i-lactic acid kwimisipha yakho iqala ukutshisa." Ewe kunjalo, ikwangumqondiso wokuba ufumana ukuzilolonga okuqinileyo, kuba izihlunu zakho ziyatshintsha. "Xa isakha kwinqanaba eliphezulu, ayithandeki," uVigil uyavuma. "Ngokuqinisekileyo uyazi imvakalelo." Kanjalo. (Kodwa wena Unako-kwaye kufuneka-utyhalele iintlungu ngexesha lokuzilolonga kwakho.)

Isitshixo ngokuqhelekileyo kukufunda ukuthanda-okanye ukunyamezela-ukutshisa. "Abanye abantu baziva bengakhululekanga, ngenxa yoko baphefumla, kuba bengenamiqathango," utshilo uStoler. Ngethamsanqa, oko kungatshintsha. "Owona mntu utyebe ngokugqithiseleyo usenokufunda ukubaleka. Into entle ngomzimba womntu kukuba uyakwazi ukuziqhelanisa. Unokufunda," utshilo. Ukunyamezela, kuya kufuneka ungene kwiiyure ezintathu ukuya kwezine ezinesiqingatha kwindawo yokuzivocavoca ngeveki.

Ndazimisela ukufunda ukuyithanda, ngokuzinyanzela ukuba ndenze intaphane yezinto endizicekisayo. Ukuthiywa. I-monologue yam yangaphakathi kwiklasi eyi-Pure Barre yayiyinto enje: Ndiyithiyile le nto. Kutheni le nto abafazi besenza oku kubo? Yonke le nto ayilunganga ngamava ababhinqileyo. Kutheni sizithuthumbisa ngoluhlobo? IBarre ayingowam.

Ukujikeleza akukho njalo, nokuba-ndikunike isandi (uxolo) okokuqala ukusukela ngo-2011, xa ndaphantsa ukukroba eklasini. I-Soul-ification elandelayo yezemidlalo (cinga umculo we-pulsing kunye nezibane ze-strobe) ayindicaphukisi kangako, noko hayi kum.

Ngokuqinisekileyo, uBeyoncé ngu ukwenzela mna. Ndithathe iklasi yomdaniso apho safunda uChoreography kuKumkanikazi B we "Countdown." Emva koko ndaya kwimeko ye-Bollywood apho sabetha khona iibhonsi ngesingqi emhlabeni. Emva koko iklasi ye-hybridi eyayiyimizuzu engamashumi amathathu yokuhamba kwe-aerobic njengokutsiba kwejacks, kulandelwa yimizuzu engamashumi amathathu ye-yoga-style stretches. Ngaba oku konwaba kunganempembelelo kwimpilo yam?

"Ufanele ukuba usebenza nzima kangangokuba awukwazi ukuqhubeka uncokola nomlingane wakho wokuzilolonga, kodwa kulula ngokwaneleyo ukuba unokuba negalelo kwizivakalisi ezifutshane," ucacisa uVigil. Usebenza nzima kakhulu ukuba awukwazi ukuthetha, ukufumana i-lightheaded, okanye uzive ngathi intliziyo yakho iya kugqabhuka esifubeni sakho. Ngethamsanqa, akukho nanye kwezi klasi zam zintsha yandenza ndaziva ngaloo ndlela-kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo ndingaxelela ukuba bendizilolonga nolo vavanyo lokuthetha. Ikwenzile ndabona ukuba kutheni abafundisi beqhubeka nokubuza, "SIHAMBA NJANI?" Bafuna ukuqiniseka ukuba usenako ukuphendula!

Emva kokuzama ezi ndlela zintsha, khange ndikhawuleze ndikhathazeke kukubila iinwele zam. Andikaguquki, okwangoku. Inkqubo yam entsha yi-80 yepesenti yeyoga kunye ne-20 yepesenti yokudanisa, kwaye ayinatyala ngokupheleleyo. Ndiyazingca ngokuhamba kwam. (Ngaba ungabalisa? Jonga ukuba kutheni iGym ayisiyoYabantu abaLusu kuphela.)
