伦敦电 — 如果你一直难以坚持运动，有一个健身房连锁品牌希望通过一种趋势，让锻炼重新变得像玩耍一样有趣。
“欢迎来到大童化健身！快进来，快进来！”教练雷切尔·丹尼斯（Rachel Dennis）最近在伦敦北部恩菲尔德的大卫·劳埃德健身房门口迎接蹦蹦跳跳进来的顾客时说道。
“我们要玩’泥里被困’游戏了，”她宣布道。随着被标记的参与者像雕像一样僵住，尖叫声和笑声很快充满了整个房间，其他人则从他们腿间爬过，”解救”他们再次奔跑。
“大童化健身课”的核心是唤醒内心的孩子，氛围充满乐趣，甚至有些傻气。
“心率怎么样？感觉有点热了吗？”丹尼斯在节奏加快时问道。
在英国的大卫·劳埃德俱乐部，会员们可以通过围绕游乐场和体育课游戏设计的课程重温童年时光——这是为了把锻炼中的”工作感”去掉。

节奏很快，”大童们”很快就投入到下一个游戏中。

“谁还记得降落伞游戏？”丹尼斯举起一大块彩色布料问道。”如果你是黄色队，你们就会变成……我们要不要扮成香蕉？”她说着分配队伍。
这些课程带回了一系列童年最爱游戏——大多数人自小学后就没再玩过的游戏。
在布料上来回奔跑后，是快速的”爆米花”小游戏时间，大人们气喘吁吁地让彩色球在降落伞上保持弹跳。
课间休息时，学员索菲·多伊（Sophie Doe）告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，她的心脏怦怦直跳。她特别喜欢降落伞游戏，称自己七岁或八岁后就没再玩过这类游戏了。
“这是作为成年人重现孩童时的快乐，”大卫·劳埃德恩菲尔德健身房的私人教练基兰·爱德华兹（Kielan Edwards）在向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻记者介绍”大童化”趋势时解释道，当时他让记者体验了”欢乐骑行”——一辆经过改造、看起来像经典小泰克（Little Tikes）舒适双座儿童车的健身自行车。

“很多人在养成运动习惯之前，觉得运动非常费力。但那是因为他们忘记了其中的乐趣，”他说，”我们试图在这里的健身房环境中，重现你年轻时可能拥有的那些记忆。”
“几点了，狼先生？”丹尼斯向全班喊道。
“该吃饭了！”他们大喊着，在地板上飞奔。
“我觉得这给了你一个回忆的机会，也让你有机会重温你以为已经逝去且不会再回来的那段人生，”瓦拉塔贾南说。
教练们表示，”大童化”之所以有效，是因为童心永不褪色，科学家们似乎也认同这一点，研究表明当运动充满乐趣时，人们更容易养成习惯。
美国国立卫生研究院称，从事有趣、孩子气活动的成年人在衰老过程中报告认知功能和记忆力更佳。
U.K. gym hopes “kidulting” trend will hook grownups by putting the fun back in fitness

London — If you’ve been struggling to stay active, there’s a trend that one gym chain is hoping will make working out feel a lot more like playtime.
“Welcome to kidulting! Come in, come in!” trainer Rachel Dennis said recently as she greeted people bounding through the door at the David Lloyd gym in Enfield, North London.
“We’re gonna play ‘stuck in the mud,’” she announced. Screams and laughter quickly filled the room as tagged players froze like statues until others crawled through their legs to “free” them to run around again.
The kidulting fitness class is all about channeling your inner child, and the atmosphere is fun, even silly.
“How’s that heart rate? We feelin’ a little warmer?” Dennis asked as the pace picked up.
At David Lloyd Clubs in the U.K., members can relive their younger years with the classes built around playground and PE class games — an effort to take the “work” out of the workouts.
Pran Varatharajan cheered as he held up another classmate’s legs, pushing her in a wheelbarrow race.
The pace is fast, and the kidulters quickly moved onto the next game.

“Who remembers the parachute?” Dennis asked, holding up the massive piece of colorful fabric. “If you’re yellow, you’re gonna be … shall we be a banana?” she said, assigning teams.
The classes bring back a range of childhood favorites — games most people haven’t played since elementary school.
After racing back and forth across the fabric, it was time for a quick round of “popcorn,” with the grownups huffing and puffing to keep colorful balls bouncing around on the parachute.
During a quick break, class member Sophie Doe told CBS News her heart was pounding. She particularly enjoyed the parachute, and said she hadn’t played some of the games since she was seven or eight.
“It’s the joy of being a kid, as an adult,” Kielan Edwards, a personal trainer at David Lloyd Enfield, explained of the kidulting trend, as he let CBS News’ correspondent try out the “Joyride,” an exercise bike transformed to look like an iconic Little Tikes Cozy Coupe.

“A lot of people find it very laborious getting used to the exercise before they turn it into a habit. But that’s because they’re forgetting the fun element of it,” he said. “We’re trying to replicate those memories that you might have had while you were younger here, in a more, sort of, gym-based environment.”
“What’s the time, Mr. Wolf?” Dennis called out to her class.
“Dinner time!” they yelled back, sprinting across the floor.
“I think it just kind of gives you a chance to reminisce, it also gives you a chance to revisit that period of your life that you thought was gone and you’re not gonna get back,” said Varatharajan.
Trainers say kidulting works because being a kid never gets old, and scientists seem to agree, with research showing that when exercise is fun, people are far more likely to make a habit out of it.
The U.S. National Institutes of Health says adults who engage in playful, childlike activities report better cognitive function and memory as they age.
