This Is When You Should Work Out Each Day to Keep The Weight Off, study Suggests
研究表明，这是你每天锻炼保持体重的最佳时间
Finding time to commit to exercise can be a real challenge, forcing many of us to squeeze in a quick run or gym session whenever there's a spare moment. It might be time to rethink those habits.
找时间锻炼真的是一个挑战，这迫使许多人只要有空闲时间就挤出时间快速跑步或健身。也许现在应该重新考虑这些习惯了。
New evidence suggests if you really want to make the most of your exercise, you should do it at the same time each day. It's a schedule your body will thank you for.
新研究表明，如果你真的想充分达到锻炼的效果，你应该在每天的同一时间锻炼。这是一种你身体会感谢你的计划。
A study lead by researchers from Brown Alpert Medical School in the US has shown it really doesn't matter if you're a dawn jogger or a twilight cyclist; it's the consistency that's key if it's weight-loss you're after.
美国布朗阿尔珀特医学院的研究人员进行的一项研究表明，无论你是清晨慢跑者还是晚间骑车人，这都无关紧要；如果你追求的是减肥，最关键的是持之以恒。
The US Department of Health and Human Services suggests two and a half hours of moderate physical activity each week is the least we should be doing to keep healthy.
美国卫生与公众服务部建议，为了保持健康，我们每周至少应该进行两个半小时的适度体育活动。
And not just a minute here or there, but at least 10 minutes of heart-pounding exercise in each session.
并不是在这里或那里的一分钟，而是每一次至少10分钟的加快心率的锻炼。
Needless to say, if you're fairly fit and in a good state of health, you're probably meeting this requirement. But many of those who have problems keeping their weight down often struggle to get the exercise they need.
如果你相当健康，身体状况良好，那不用说，你可能满足了这个要求。但很多减肥有困难的人往往很难达到他们所需要的锻炼。
Using survey results on the physical activity of 375 individuals exercising for weight loss, the researchers identified a strong relationship between a moderate-to-vigorous level of exercise at the same time of day and the amount of time spent exercising.
研究人员对375名为减肥而进行锻炼的人的身体状况进行了调查，结果发现，每天同一时间进行中等到高强度的锻炼与花在锻炼上的时间有很强的关系。
Roughly half of the volunteers were morning people, which, when taken in context with a previous study by some of the same scientists, could indicate physical activity before you start your day is the way to go.
大约有一半的志愿者是早起的人，如果把他们的研究与之前的一些科学家的研究联系起来，就会发现，在开始一天的工作之前进行体育锻炼是正确的选择。
This preference for regularity might all come down to the way we think about our diary.
这种对规律性的偏好可能都归结于我们对日记的看法。
Activities we expect to do at set times – such as picking up the kids, going to work, or attending social meetings – aren't really things we give a great deal of conscious thought to.
我们期望在固定时间做的事情——如接孩子，上班，或者参加社交聚会——并不是我们真正有意识去想的事情。
This mindless repetition is referred to as automaticity in psychology circles, and has already been shown to be important when it comes to sticking to an exercise regime.
这种无意识的重复在心理学领域被称为自动性，已被证明在坚持锻炼方面很重要。 |
