第2498期:Group Helps People Exercise Outdoors(2)

To keep the workouts fun, they also might include fun games and activities from childhood. In Edmonton, they play snow games in winter and water games in summer. The games help to lower inhibitions. This helps people make connections, said Jason Shaw. He is co-leader of the Indianapolis, Indiana group. 

为了保持锻炼的乐趣，它们还可能包括童年时期的有趣游戏和活动。在埃德蒙顿，他们冬天玩雪上游戏，夏天玩水上游戏。游戏有助于降低压抑感。杰森·肖说，这有助于人们建立联系。他是印第安纳州印第安纳波利斯集团的联合领导人。 

“Nobody (is) cool at November Project,” he said. 

“没有人对十一月项目很酷，”他说。 

Shaw said groups recognize members’ milestones. People can earn prizes for reaching different goals. 

肖说，团体承认成员的里程碑。人们可以通过实现不同的目标来获得奖励。 

To find out if a November Project group is near you, go to their website at November-Project.com. Building community and making friends is another big part of the project. So, each group is active on social media. 

要了解您附近是否有 11 月项目小组，请访问他们的网站：Novell-Project.com。建立社区和结交朋友是该项目的另一个重要部分。因此，每个群体在社交媒体上都很活跃。 

If you do not have a November Project nearby, you can find another type of outdoor exercise group. Or start your own. 

如果您附近没有十一月项目，您可以寻找另一种类型的户外运动团体。或者开始你自己的。 

The November Project organizers offer a few suggestions on how to work out during colder months. 

十一月项目组织者提供了一些关于如何在寒冷月份锻炼的建议。

Find workout friends. At the center of the project, is accountability. Members promise to show up. There is a sense of letting down your teammates if you do not show up, said Mandaric, who moved to Boston from Serbia to row crew for Northeastern University. (Rowing crew is a type of boat racing.) 

寻找锻炼的朋友。该项目的核心是问责制。成员们承诺一定会出席。从塞尔维亚搬到波士顿为东北大学划船的曼达里克说，如果你不出现，就会有一种让队友失望的感觉。（赛艇队是赛艇运动的一种。）

There is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing, said Shaw, the leader from Indianapolis. He suggests wearing clothing next to your skin that removes sweat. This will help keep you warm and dry. Avoid cotton, he warned. It keeps sweat in contact with your body and will make you colder. 

来自印第安纳波利斯的领导人肖说，没有坏天气，只有坏衣服。他建议穿贴身的衣服以去除汗水。这将帮助您保持温暖和干燥。他警告说，避免使用棉花。它会让汗水与你的身体接触，让你感觉更冷。 

Also, add a top layer that protects against bad weather. On its webpage, the November Project leaders for Washington, DC say workouts are not cancelled for weather. 

另外，添加顶层以防止恶劣天气的影响。华盛顿特区十一月项目负责人在其网页上表示，锻炼不会因为天气而取消。

Promise yourself to exercise on the same days and times for a month. Create a routine. This will make it easier to stick to an exercise routine, says Mandaric.

承诺自己在一个月的同一天和同一时间进行锻炼。创建一个例程。曼达里克说，这会让你更容易坚持锻炼习惯。

And make sure to have fun. Exercise does not have to be hard or serious. 

并确保玩得开心。锻炼不一定要很辛苦或很严肃。 

Smith, the member from Edmonton, Alberta, says she enjoys the social part of the November Project the most. She calls it “a chosen family.” They came together because they had fun exercising. She said. “You can have fun and get fit.” 

来自艾伯塔省埃德蒙顿的会员史密斯表示，她最喜欢十一月项目的社交部分。她称之为“一个被选择的家庭”。他们聚在一起是因为锻炼很有趣。她说。“你可以享受乐趣并保持健康。”
