健身使人快乐，但我，没时间

大多数美国人认为经常锻炼使他们更快乐

Feeling down lately? The key to happiness may be in the weight room, according to new research.

最近情绪低落吗?根据一项新的研究，快乐的关键可能在于健身房。

A new survey of 2,000 employed Americans found the vast majority (79 percent) said they always feel happier when they have a regular exercise routine.

一项针对2000名在职美国人的最新调查发现，绝大多数人(79%)表示，定期锻炼让他们更快乐。

But while that road to happiness seems easy enough, finding the time — and the energy — to squeeze exercise in on a regular basis is quite challenging for those with demanding jobs.

尽管通往幸福的道路似乎很容易，但对于那些工作要求高的人来说，找到时间和精力定期进行锻炼是相当具有挑战性的。

The study, conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Gympass, revealed that nearly half of those polled (48 percent) said they are so busy with work that they don’t have any time to exercise at all.

这项由OnePoll公司代表Gympass开展的调查显示，近一半的受访者(48%)称他们工作太忙，根本没有时间锻炼。

And even if they did have the time, they don’t have the stamina — 51 percent of respondents say sitting down at their desk for eight straight hours a day drains the energy out of them.

即使他们有时间，也没有精力。51%的受访者说，一天连续8个小时坐在办公桌前会消耗他们的精力。

Over six in 10 also say that by the time they clock out for the day they’re way too tired to even think about going for a run or hitting the weights.

超过六成的人还说，当他们打卡下班的时候，已经累得不想去跑步或举重了。

And even if they had the time and the stamina — money is yet another barrier. Sixty-one percent say that a gym membership is simply too expensive for their budget.

即使他们有时间和精力，金钱也是另一个障碍。61%的人表示，健身房的会员费对于他们的预算来说实在是太贵了。

Despite those barriers, employed Americans very badly want to lead more active lifestyles.

尽管存在这些障碍，就业的美国人非常想过一种更加积极的生活方式。

While regular exercise was found to make people happier, it was also found to make people more productive at work, with 56 percent of respondents saying they work smarter when they have a healthy exercise routine.

虽然有规律的锻炼能让人更快乐，但也能让人在工作中更有效率。56%的受访者表示，当他们有一个健康的锻炼习惯时，他们会更聪明地工作。

“Exercising is one of the most important lifestyle changes we can make to become happier, healthier and more productive,” said Marco Crespo, US CEO, Gympass. “Yet employees across the US are finding it increasingly difficult to include physical activity in their lives.”

Gympass美国首席执行官马可•克雷斯波(Marco Crespo)表示:“锻炼是我们可以让自己变得更快乐、更健康、更有效率的最重要生活方式改变之一。”“然而，美国各地的员工发现，将体育活动纳入他们的生活越来越困难。”

Employed Americans were found to get just over three hours of exercise a week — far fewer than they’d like to.

调查发现，有工作的美国人每周的锻炼时间仅略多于三个小时，远远少于他们想要的水平。

The 61 percent who were hungry for more exercise said they’d ideally like to get, on average, nine hours of exercise per week — a six-hour uptick.

61%渴望更多锻炼的人表示，他们希望每周平均锻炼9个小时——增加6个小时。

Breaking up the work day to hit the weights or take a jog would be revelatory for the majority of those polled, with 75 percent saying that they would be twice as productive at work if they were able to take a break at some point and get some exercise in.

分手工作天达到重量或者慢跑会启示对于大多数的受访者,75%的人说,他们将工作效率的两倍,如果他们能够休息和做些运动。

While many of those polled said they have a hard time staying motivated at work, 47 percent of the panel said that they could find that motivation from their employer paying for their gym membership.

尽管许多受访者表示，他们很难在工作中保持动力，但47%的受访者表示，他们可以从雇主为他们支付健身会员费中找到动力。

Half of those polled said they’d also feel more inclined to stay with the company if they at least helped pay for a gym membership.

半数受访者表示，如果他们至少能帮公司支付健身会员费，他们也会更愿意留在公司。
