如何让你的另一半也动起来

The results of past studies on this subject have been alternately predictable and startling. Single men and women, for instance, generally exercise far more than do married people, although divorce can change that. Men typically exercise more after a marriage ends; women in that situation frequently exercise less. Meanwhile, employed men, even those with desk jobs, usually exercise more than men who are unemployed.

关于这一问题，以前也进行过一些研究，其结果有的在意料之中，也有的令人震惊。例如，单身男女的运动量通常会远多于已婚男女，但离婚后这种状况会有所改变。在结束一段婚姻之后，男性一般会加大运动量，女性则往往相反。另一方面，在职的男性，即使他们从事的是文书工作，一般也会比失业的男性更多地从事体育运动。

Parenthood, though, has the greatest downward pull on planned exercise time. In a number of studies in recent years, scientists have found that mothers of even one child exercise considerably less than do the childless, although, perhaps not surprisingly, they often complete more light activity, which would include cooking, cleaning and scrambling after streaking toddlers, than do the childless. Meanwhile, fathers of a single child often exercise as much as they did before becoming a parent, but fathers of more than one child experience a large and rapid decline in their formal exercise time.
