不少跑者天不怕地不怕，面對過百K也可以面不改容，但一說到「練肌肉」，卻聞之色變。
甚至連遁詞都想好了：「怕變得太壯，影響運動表現。」捫心自問吧，變壯真有那麼容易？
肌肉分明的線條，大家怎會不想擁有？不過大家更清楚的是，過程實在辛苦無比而已（哭）。

《健身，就能改變人生》
作者：劉畊宏
偶然回看自己三年前參加東京馬拉松的照片，不禁心頭一凜——天呀，原來自己當時是那個模樣，再回想這幾年間，自己如何咬著牙關，有時還噙著淚水完成的無數次重量訓練，直至現在的模樣，之間的對比也實在叫自己感觸，所付出的努力也總算不枉。
肌肉這東西，成果人人想要，但鍛鍊過程卻沒有人想捱。有不少人，砸了巨款辦了健身會籍，興緻勃勃的去了健身室一兩個月，就因為偶然事忙讓一切戛然而止，從此任由會員卡封塵。又有些人，覺得自己的身形不堪入目，就連去健身室也不敢，又或是被那些所謂營業代表嚇怕了，他們每看見你就鼓其如簧之舌，游說你參加這計劃買那產品，著實不勝其煩。大家都感慨：如果我家有個健身房就好了。
與其幻想家有健身房？不如就地取材，用現有的資源做健身更為實際。《健身，就能改變人生》的作者劉畊宏，擁有天使面孔、魔鬼身材，即使現在年過40依然外形耀目非常。他是娛樂圈中人，既拍戲，又填詞（周杰倫名曲《回到過去》就是出自他手筆），生活非常忙碌，但仍可以保持身材健美，究竟有何秘訣呢？關鍵就在於活用時間，活用身邊資源做健身。他的著作，圖文並茂，手把手教讀者如何做到。
《健身》更用了不少篇幅談飲食。作者認為，享受美食是人的天性，不應因為追求健美而違背這項天性，他更提出了一些飲食法則，協助大家既嚐美食，亦保身材。
一年又將過去了，2018許下的願望兌現了多少？展望新一年，各位在運動方面又有沒有訂下新的目標？練好肌肉，能否真的「改變人生」未可料，但至少一定可以改善你的運動表現！
筆者簡介：蝦叔，愛寫作，愛運動。期待未來以一雙腳和一枝筆，繼續從體育探索世界。

Exercise Can Change Your Life
Author: Will Liu
My heart skipped a beat when staring at a photo of myself taken three years ago at the Tokyo Marathon – I looked completely different then. During the past few years, I have completed countless numbers of weight training sessions, sometimes even with tears in my eyes. But my current in-shape body proves that my efforts were not in vain.
Everybody wants muscles, but nobody wishes to go through the hardship of training. Some people spend huge sums for a gym membership but give up regular exercising after a couple of months because of other distractions in life; some even feel so bad about their body images that they cannot even muster the courage to hit the gym; others suffer from phobia of gym club salespeople for their hard selling. But everybody seems to have this common thought – wouldn't it be so nice to have a gym at home?
Why not keep your body fit with what you have? Will Liu, author of Exercise Can Change Your Life, stars in films and writes song lyrics. Over 40 years old and navigating a hectic lifestyle, Will's body is still very fit. His secret is to make good use of the resources surrounding him for work-out at any time, for which he shares in both words and illustrations in his book. He also provides sage advice on following a healthy diet.
Year of 2018 will pass soon. How many of your 2018 New Year’s resolutions are you still maintaining? In the coming year, what new goals have you set in terms of exercising? Muscles might not necessarily change your life, but building muscle can definitely enhance your exercise performance!
About the writer: Uncle Shrimp loves reading, writing and athletics, and hopes he can continue exploring the world through sports.
