Fitness isn’t just physical; Change your thoughts, and you change your world.Of course we all agree that gaining and losing weight, exercise, diet, strength, and flexibility(灵活性) are a part of fitness.But what about body image, aging , relationships, success, and happiness? They are all related, all connected, and fitness in all areas is important if you want true and total fitness.
But you may say , “I just want to lose 20 pounds.If I do, I will feel better about myself and I will be happy .”Maybe in the short term, but honestly, if we don’t deal with our mental and emotional fitness while working on the physical, there is very little chance of keeping the weight off, feeling good about yourself, and improving every other area of your life.
Let’s not waste tine changing our bodies if we don’t change our minds, Let’s work“out”and work“in” at the same time .Change your mind and you must, because if you have been trying to lose weight, but cannot, there is something inside you that is disallowing it.You can change this pattern, improve your self-esteem, increase your joy, and change your body for good by focusing on changing your mind.This is training for life.
Work-ins will repair your mind, improve your attitude, change your perception and encourage motivation at the same time you are conditioning your body for weight loss, shaping, strength and endurance.
If you repeat a positive statement over and over to yourself——like a mantra(祷文),your mind will change, the same way your body does, even if you don’t believe it.Like lifting a weight over and over, your muscle changes——even if you don’t believe it.

You may picture firefighters holding a hose (水管) outside of a burning building,but the Golden Eagles Hotshots don't fight fires quite that way.When they go into action,you may not even see a fire truck.
The Hotshots are firefighters who battle fires in wilderness areas.But don't think you'll only find them in California.Wherever there is a national wildfire emergency,the Golden Eagles Hotshots could be there.
But these firefighters don't work the same way as those in big cities.They work where there are large numbers of trees,bushes,and grass.They climb up and down steep hills to clear brush and burnable debris (残骸).They sometimes use water,but often fight fire with fire!
They do that by lighting what are called “backfires” ---- small,controlled fires that burn up fuel in the path of larger wildfires.That way, when the wildfire gets there, it has nothing to burn and nowhere to go,because all the burnable fuel has already gone up in smoke.
The Hotshots also clear away fuel using old-fashioned hard work.For example,they use a saw to cut away trees and heavy brush that could catch fire.
Of course there are times when the Golden Eagles Hotshots do have trucks to supply water to the fires.But the water is limited,and these guys have to rely on hard work more than anything.Physical fitness is very important.They have to be strong to handle steep hills while carrying a 60pound pack.
Thanks to their efforts,many lives have been saved,many houses not burned,and countless trees still standing.

Some people say that the best way to reduce the size of your waist is to do stomach exercise. Many people believe that when specific muscles are exercised, the fatty tissues (组织) in the immediate area are burned up. The truth is that exercise burns fat from all over the body and not from one specific area. Of course, if you reduce the fat throughout your body, you will certainly see results around your waist too.
Some people believe that you need to exercise twice a week in order to keep a sufficient level of physical fitness. However, studies directed by American scientists show that unexercised muscles lose their strength very quickly. Within 48 to 72 hours, you must use the muscles again to reestablish (重建) the good physical effects. And what does that mean to you? American scientists concluded that while daily exercise is most helpful, exercising every other day or three days a week will keep a sufficient level of physical fitness.
Is it true that you burn more calories running one mile than walking the same distance? The answer is no. The truth is that you use the same amount of energy whether you walk or run the mile, since in both cases you are moving the same weight the same distance. The speed does not matter. Of course, if you run rather than walk for 30 minutes, you will cover more distance, and therefore burn more calories.
If your breathing doesn’t return to normal within 5 minutes after you finish exercising, you have exercised too much. Five minutes or so after exercising, your breathing should be normal, your heart shouldn’t be beating loudly, and you shouldn’t be tired.
