In the Swimming Pool One day. Tommy and his brother Alex went swimming. As they got close to the swimming pool, they saw something strange—a man was jogging in the water. The two brothers were very curious. Tommy asked the man, " Why are you jogging in the water, not on land?" The old man smiled and said, " Well, that is simple. Running in water uses the same muscles as running on land. But it is much easier on my knee joints. "
在游泳池里 一天,汤米和他的兄弟亚历克斯去游泳。当他们走近游泳池时,他们看到了奇怪的事情——一个男人在水里慢跑。 两兄弟都很好奇。汤米问那个人:“你为什么要在水里慢跑,而不是在陆地上?” 老人微笑着说:“嗯,这很简单。在水中跑步和在陆地上跑步使用相同的肌肉。但对我的膝关节来说要容易得多。
“ Why do you prefer jogging to swimming?” asked Tommy. “ Jogging is slower than swimming, but it is more tiring. It is also more difficult to keep your balance while jogging in water. And it's just as good for the heart, lungs and muscles. ” The two kids happily jumped in the water. They learned that jogging in water is a fun way to get fit!
“为什么你更喜欢慢跑而不是游泳?”汤米问。 慢跑比游泳慢,但更累人。在水中慢跑也更难保持平衡。它对心脏、肺和肌肉也有好处。”两个孩子高兴地跳进水里。他们了解到在水中慢跑是一种有趣的健身方式!
