24、If you have watched the amazing Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, chances are that you have fallen in love with some winter sports and you’re already making sure your equipment is ready for them. 【1】 However, there’s another element to get ready for the slopes (坡)—your body. Even if you exercise regularly, skiing, snowshoeing or skating challenges your muscles in ways other activities don’t.

【2】 Your metabolism (新陈代谢) increases to warm you up. Your heart and lungs also need to work harder to warm air before it enters your body. Depending on the sport, certain muscles may also be used more frequently compared to activities in other seasons. The good news is that most winter sports involve heart endurance (耐力), muscle strength and muscle endurance. 【3】

But there are still some other things to think about. Skiing and snowboarding are great winter sports that provide a total body workout. 【4】 As anyone who has spent time skiing or snowboarding can prove, after a long day on the slopes, the body becomes extremely tired. 【5】 To avoid this, you need to take some time to strengthen your body and improve endurance. Before the winter season, a regular exercise program should include exercises that get the blood running while challenging the entire body, such as stair climbing or running. The intensity should vary from 20—45 minutes at least 3 to 5 days a week. As winter nears, adding a cardio (有氧的) workout longer in duration but lower in intensity can help increase endurance.

A．Maybe you haven’t bought all the equipment.

B．And that is when injuries are more likely to occur.

C．Exercising in the cold decreases your body temperature.

D．You should take advantage of this opportunity to have a rest.

E．Probably, you have got your skis tuned and skates sharpened.

F．All of them are areas that can be trained before the winter season.

G．However, it can be hard on the body the first time you hit the slopes.
