체중 감량은 물론 근성장에도 도움을 주는 효율적인 운동 기구만 골랐다. 헬스장에 가보면 유산소 운동 기구를 지나 곧장 벤치프레스로 향하는 사람들을 볼 수 있다. 러닝머신과 스텝머신을 비롯한 유산소 구역은 쳐다도 보지 않는다. 가슴 운동만 고집하는 게 나쁘다는 건 아니지만, 유산소 기구를 단지 웜업 용도나 심지어 벌 받듯이 피해야 할 존재로 생각하는 사람이라면, 당신은 큰 기회를 놓치고 있는 셈이다. 그리고 근육 성장 면에서도 손해를 보고 있을 수 있다. 어떤 연구에 따르면, 주 4회, 회당 45분의 중강도에서 고강도 유산소 운동을 하면 다리 근육의 크기가 5~6% 증가할 수 있다고 한다. 심장 건강을 강화하고, 지구력을 기르며, 정신을 맑게 유지하고, 장수에도 도움이 된다. 이런 효과를 약속하는 기계는 많지만, 그 약속을 실제로 지키는 기계는 많지 않다. 우리는 헬스장에서 가장 인기 있는 유산소 운동 기구들을 분석했고, 각각의 기구를 시작하기 전에 알아야 할 것들을 정리했다.

When Ji Young Chae dances, she continually defies expectations. The Boston Ballet principal can hold a développé à la seconde on pointe like it’s nothing, and just when you think she can’t possibly balance any longer, she’ll lift her leg even higher. She can end Odile’s 32 fouettés (with doubles thrown in along the way) by simply slipping her working leg down to meet her standing foot in a perfectly still sous-sus.

Fortunately, you don’t need to be an expert lighting designer yourself—whether your theater provides a crew or you bring outside help, most of the time you’ll be able to collaborate with someone who knows all the technical ins and outs.

Am I running “wrong”?!Since you probably weren’t ever officially “taught” to run, like you would if you picked up another sport like, say, golf or skiing, you might be wondering if your natural gait is the correct one—and, if not, if the way you run might actually be setting you up for injury (or at the least, hampering your performance).
