晨跑的5個好處

Whether you already have a regular running routine or you’ve been meaning to start one, consider these 5 benefits of running in the morning. While running is widely considered to be one of the best ways lose weight and stay healthy, very few people talk about when to do it. Here are five ways in which running in the morning can benefit you:

無論你是否已經(jīng)養(yǎng)成了跑步的習(xí)慣，或是一直想開始跑步，考慮一下在早上跑步的5大好處。盡管跑步是公認(rèn)的最佳減肥及保健方式，真正著手去做的人并不多。以下是晨跑的5大優(yōu)點：

1.Weight-loss: One of the primary reasons regular runners pound the pavement is to burn calories and to lose weight. Some experts, however, believe that running on an empty stomach in the morning burns more calories than any other time of the day. This has to do with two things: if your body’s metabolism gets turned on early, it keeps going longer, thus burning off more fat. Secondly, if you run on an empty stomach, your body is forced to use the energy that is most available to it at the time, which on an empty stomach is your body’s store of fat. Make running your first activity of the day if you want to amp up those weight-loss benefits.

減肥：有跑步習(xí)慣的人，最主要的原因通常都是為了燃燒卡路里和減肥。一些專家認(rèn)為早上空腹跑步比別的時段能燃燒更多的熱量。主要有兩個原因：當(dāng)身體的代謝被提前激發(fā)時，它能堅持更久，因此燃燒更多熱量;此外，空腹跑步能迫使你的身體利用當(dāng)下所能得到的能量，而空腹的時候，這所謂的能量就是你體內(nèi)的脂肪。把跑步變成每天第一項運動吧，你能更快地減肥。

2.Peace of mind: Most runners will agree that running helps clear the mind and get those creative juices flowing. Problems are solved and ideas are born as the road glides along under your feet. This probably has to do with the release of hormones called endorphins, which have a peaceful, calming, and refreshing effect on your mind and body. So why not kick in those powerful endorphins early in the day? If you know you’re going to have a rough day ahead of you, a good way to preemptively combat those stresses is to run in the morning. Try it out; you might just find that your work day seems a lot less stressful than it usually is.

平和心境：很多跑步的人都同意一個說法，那就是跑步能幫你平和心境，并激發(fā)靈感。當(dāng)你的雙腳不停地邁過大地時，解決問題的辦法和新主意都會出現(xiàn)。這可能與一種叫內(nèi)啡肽的激素釋放有關(guān)。它能平復(fù)心境，并消除疲勞，無論生理還是心理上。所以何不在清晨來一劑內(nèi)啡肽?若你感到今天將是壓力山大的一天，早起晨跑以抵抗它是個好主意。試試看吧，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)這一天似乎也沒有預(yù)想得這么糟!

3.No excuses: By running in the morning, all of the typical excuses for not exercising (e.g. a lack of time, being too tired after work, or missing happy hour with your buddies) can be put to rest. Now those after-work hours can be used to take care of errands or loaf on your sofa, completely guilt-free. Getting your exercise done first thing in the morning also gives you that jump start you need to keep moving throughout the day, which helps rid you of excuses for other important tasks that you would normally not feel like doing.

拒絕借口：晨跑能消滅所有那些讓你不鍛煉的借口，比如“沒時間”、“下班后太累啦”、“要跟朋友聚會呢”等等。下班后你可以為所欲為，無論是做事還是蜷進沙發(fā)，而不需要心存負(fù)罪感。晨起鍛煉同樣也能給你一個充滿活力的開頭，幫助你戒掉那些為了不大想做的事而千方百計想出來的借口。

4.Less pollution: Among the many benefits of running in the morning is getting out on the road before the cars and busses beat you to it. The exhaust left behind from vehicles can increase the risk of heart disease and cancer, so slip on your jogging shoes in the early morning if you want to breathe in the cleanest air possible.

空氣更清新：晨跑還有一個好處，那就是可以避免吸入車輛尾氣。尾氣會增高心臟病和患癌幾率。所以還是早起，穿上跑鞋，去一天中最清新的空氣里奔跑吧。

5.Go farther: There is no doubt about it; the air is not only cleaner, but also much cooler before the sun’s rays have begun to bake the road under your feet. Running in the morning is the best way to avoid hot weather, heat stroke, and stifling humidity. Runners that exercise in a cool climate can often run longer and go farther than those who work out in the heat.

讓你跑得更遠(yuǎn)：毫無疑問，早晨不僅空氣清新，同樣也異常涼爽。在毒辣辣的太陽照射大地前跑吧。晨跑是避免熱天、中暑、和沉悶潮濕感的最好選擇。在涼爽天氣中跑步的人們通?？梢员葻崽熘械娜藗兣艿酶h(yuǎn)更久。

Now set your alarm clocks tonight because these benefits of running in the morning are worth waking up early for.

今晚就設(shè)好鬧鐘吧!這些好處完全值得你早起去奔跑。
