Take a 2-hour lunch break and walk out of the "cubicle room"

Fitness has become a way of life for many young people. Instead of simply "lying down at noon," young office workers squeeze out time and "punch in" gyms, gymnasiums and outdoor hiking trails.

Chen Xu, a post-95 girl who does planning in an advertising company, often does not eat on time, stays up late, brushes dramas, and eats late suppers, making her figure completely out of shape. In order to burn fat and shape, Chen Xu used his lunch break to punch the "net red" gym near the punching company every day with "no annual pass, pay-per-view, professional coach, and no sales" as the selling point - Supermonkey.

"I can't stand my current body, but I don't like a lot of gym coaches and salesmen who sell cards at any time." Chen Xu told the China Youth Daily and China Youth Network reporter, "It is very good to be simple like this, make an appointment for a class through the WeChat Mini Program, automatically check in to enter, use the lunch break to sweat, lose fat." Chen Xu laughed and said, "My slimness is not a dream." ”

Unlike Chen Xu, the magazine's post-95 editor Jiang He's fitness choice is swimming. "My work requires years of lying down, facing the computer, often sitting all day, not very old, cervical spine problems are not small." Jiang He said that in order to exercise and relax, every day during the lunch break, she went to the nearby swimming pool to swim. "The moment you change into your bathing suit, put on your swimming goggles, and jump into the pool, you feel like a fish back in the sea, forget all your worries, let the pressure be released in the water, and enjoy the joy of sports."

"Fitness can not only exercise, but also do public welfare." Electrical engineer Er Zhang showed the reporter of China Youth Daily and China Youth Network that he was "one piece to go" mini program interface of his WeChat campaign. Every day, Erzhang will take advantage of his lunch break to walk quickly on the hiking trail in the street park near the company. He recorded the number of walking steps through the WeChat exercise step counting function, completed the online virtual punch card cloud tour in Changchun, Jilin Province, and donated to patients with renal failure hemodialysis through the form of public welfare "donation steps".

"With such a nice park walk nearby, it's perfect for people like me who 'take time' to work out." Erzhang said that walking out of the lattice, leaving the reinforced concrete, and walking in the "green lung" of the city, the whole person's heart will be much wider.

Release work stress, fitness "night economy"

At 8 p.m., a gym in Beijing's Chaoyang District was still crowded. "I have to work during the day, and my fitness plan can only be put at night." Xia Yan, an employee of the Internet company, told the China Youth Daily and China Youth Network reporter, "I usually have to leave work at 7 pm, and it takes an hour to get home, so I choose a gym near the company, and the time spent on the road will not be too long." "Xia Yan usually does one hour of strength training, half an hour of aerobic training.

Pilates coach Zhang Xin told the China Youth Daily and China Youth Network reporter that the night (after 6 pm) customers who have an appointment with her account for about 40% of the number of customers throughout the day, and office workers are the main group. After 7 years in the industry, from fat loss, shaping, stretching to today's fiery Pilates, Zhang Xin sensed the changes in the fitness needs of this young person, "Before, fitness was to lose weight, and now more and more young people pay attention to posture problems, no longer extremely pursue 'thin as beauty'." "She thinks that's a good sign.

Classes are too full, and Zhang Xin sometimes finishes the day at 10 p.m. She feels that in addition to her role as a coach, she sometimes plays a "listener" herself, and "exercise is the main way for many office workers to release stress and regulate their emotions." Every time they sweat, breathe heavily, or even wear a 'mask of pain' during a workout, it's a physical and mental relaxation for them. ”

Home fitness, fitness new "play"

"You can move at any time, you don't have to change your clothes, and you don't have to care about other people's eyes, it can't be more perfect." In the post-95 Zhang Meng view, home fitness satisfies all the imaginations of young people for the perfect sports space.

Zhang Meng, who works as a screenwriter, is a loyal user of the fitness app "Keep", and her self-evaluation is "a girl in the micro-fat world".

"About 30 minutes a day, 50 minutes in good shape." In the beginning, the muscles would be sore the next day, but now it is much better." Flat supports, curls, push-ups... Zhang Meng pulled her partner together to do sports at home.

Smart devices, fitness videos and live classes add confidence and motivation to people who work out at home. According to Fastdata's 2021 China Sports and Fitness Industry Report and McKinsey's China Consumer Report 2021, the number of domestic online fitness users has exceeded 261 million, of which 23% only began to contact home fitness during the epidemic, but 60% said they would stick to this habit.

In a fitness studio on the edge of the East Fourth Ring Road, Li Jingyu, the boss of the post-90s, upgraded his business method. In the past two years, she began to record short videos in an effort to transform into a fitness blogger, and at the same time added black technology products such as "home smart fitness mirrors" to the studio, as long as she logs into the App, she can connect to the "cloud" in the mirror and customers synchronously.

Get moving and enjoy the fun of "rhythm"

Stay up the night at the latest, apply the most expensive mask, eat spicy supper in your left hand, brew goji berry tea in your right hand... The "punk health" of dying while saving oneself has become the daily life of many young people.

Zuo Xiaoxia, director of the Nutrition Department of the Eighth Medical Center of the Pla.Commencing Army General Hospital, special expert in health engineering education of the All-China Women's Federation, and expert in health science popularization in Beijing, said in an interview with the Reporter of China Youth Daily and China Youth Network that in recent years, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and diabetes have shown a trend of rejuvenation, which is largely due to the lack of exercise, lack of sleep and other bad living habits. In her view, the real health, to "moderate exercise, enough sleep", exercise is the best way to maintain health.

"Body anxiety" exists to varying degrees among young people. In the nutrition clinic, Zuo Xiaoxia has received medical treatment for overwork and anorexia, many of whom are adolescent girls. "At the moment, the hot weight loss training class, to sign up, in fact, there are some little girls who are already very thin and thin in our opinion." Zuo Xiaoxia was concerned about this. In an interview, she reminded young people that "fat loss is not the same as weight loss", do not just stare at weight, but look at body mass index (BMI), and strive not to be a "skinny fat man" with normal weight but not "thin" body type. "When the body really loses a lot of fat, the body will change a lot, so don't take the numbers on the scale as the goal of losing weight."

"Young people, office workers, we recommend about 6,000 steps of exercise per day", Zuo Xiaoxia said, everyone's physical condition is different, how much exercise to choose, to judge according to their physical state. The time, place, and project of exercise can vary from person to person, but the basic principles are common, do not overeat before exercising, and pay attention to hydration.

In the era of self-media, in the face of mixed health knowledge and fitness courses, Zuo Xiaoxia suggested that young people should also "polish their eyes", consciously learn some professional knowledge through formal channels, and correct their mentality to refuse to blindly follow the trend, "Sports is a step-by-step project, it is impossible to solve all problems at once." ”

"Health is a responsibility, and I am the first person responsible for my health." Zuo Xiaoxia appealed, "Young people must have the spiritual outlook of young people, move, and improve their quality of life, in order to make life more quality." ”
