If you’re bored with old-fashioned running, or if you feel that it’s not a complete workout, you might want to try crunning, a new fitness craze that’s taking Australia by storm. No, it does not mean crying while running, it’s actually a cross between crawling and running that involves getting down on all fours and moving as fast as you can.

如果你对跑步这一老式的健身方法感到厌烦，或者你觉得这不是一个全面的健身方式，你可能会想尝试下“酷跑”（crunning）这个新花样，“酷跑”掀起了澳大利亚新的健身热潮。当然，“酷跑”并不像我们听起来那样边哭边跑。事实上，它结合了爬行和跑步的特点，要求你俯下身四肢着地，尽你可能地快速移动。

The bizarre workout, best described as your thighs’ worst nightmare, was invented by Australian fitness enthusiast Shaun McCarthy. We’re not sure what prompted him to come up with the bizarre activity, but he seems convinced that it will revolutionize fitness as we know it. “The only thing that crunning’s changed about fitness… is that it’s changed everything about fitness,” he says.

这个怪诞的健身方法简直是大腿的梦靥，其发明者是澳大利亚的健身爱好者肖恩·麦卡锡。我们尚不明确是何原因促使他想出这个奇怪的锻炼方式，但麦卡锡似乎坚信“酷跑”将为健身运动带来革命，正如我们知道的那样。“‘酷跑’为健身带来的唯一改变就是它改变了健身的一切，”麦卡锡说道。
