相信不少家长跟随子女移居澳洲,或来澳洲陪读之后,都会有种“好山好水好寂寞”的感觉。
于是,阿姨/女士们时常怀念在家乡与邻居好友定时相约,赶赴广场跳舞的时光;
叔叔/男士们也不禁感叹,异国没了熟识的伙伴,早起出门遛弯儿的兴致也荡然无存。
不过此时下结论为时尚早!
在澳洲,一种健康安全、且能结交新朋友的健身方式盛行已久。
这种全民可以参与的免费活动名叫商场漫步(Mall Walking),受到大众尤其是年长人士的青睐。
商场漫步(Mall Walking)顾名思义,就是在shopping centre里走路,有点逛商场的意味,但也有别于一般意义上的逛商场。
这种特殊的“逛商场”模式,不仅不用消费掏空腰包,反而能赚个长寿健康!
不相信?!来看看商场漫步(Mall Walking)的各种优势吧:
安全系数更高:相较于室外的公园、草坪或街道,商场里的环境单一:没有车辆或宠物“横行”;地面洁净平整。这就大大降低甚至能够完全避免跌倒、崴伤等意外事件的发生。
不受天气制约:相比于户外活动,室内活动的优势之一就是不会受到天气条件的制约。你不用担心太冷或太热,也不会被突如其来的大雨“洗礼”。即使活动时间略长,也不用担心会被澳洲炽烈的阳光晒伤。
氛围更加和谐:受益于商场安全舒适的场地环境,人们可以更轻松愉快地进行快走或其他健身活动,同时还可以更畅快地与在这里结识的新朋友边走边聊,让身心都得到最大程度的放松。
同样适合上班族:此项活动一般在上午8点左右开始,对于9点或9点半上班的年轻人来说,也是很好的锻炼机会。集体健身更有动力有没有!陪老爸老妈一起晨练好孝顺有没有!
一般来说,“逛商场”之前,领队会带大家做一些简单的热身动作;漫走结束之后,也会做一些有益于身体协调和健康的舒展活动。
大家围成一圈或排好队,有节奏有规律地一起活动筋骨,场面不逊于中国的广场舞呢!
原来在澳洲,爸爸妈妈以及热爱健身的小伙伴,同样可以享受慢节拍生活,在城市中寻到一片全民免费健身的乐土!
年轻人再也不用担心家长们会有“好山好水好寂寞”的错觉啦!
尽早加入商场漫步的队伍中来,从此全家人身心更健康、家庭更稳定、社会更和谐!
本活动不限年龄、不限性别,只要追求健康的生活方式是您的生活态度或生活目标之一,就可以加入哦!
