我是女生 我就应该被别人定义吗？
女生就只能参加瑜伽普拉提？女生运动就是为了减脂？
在讨论这些问题之前，我想分享一个Odelia的故事
“
Those of you who followed along this far deserve to know this, and besides I made a promise, and promises must be kept.
致那些已经关注了我很久的人，你们值得知道这一切，我向你们保证过，不会食言。
You should never take your ability to move for granted. It is priceless.
你们应该要明白身体没有任何一项运动能力是应得的。每一种能力都是无价之宝
But like everything in life, you can’t fully understand what it means to lose it until it happens to you.
但和你生活里的其他事物一样，只有等你失去了才会懂得它的意义
Well, it happened to me and not just once. People say that the third time is a charm – not in my case…
很遗憾它们发生在了我的身上而且祸不单行。人们常说连续三次是一种来自神的保佑 - 但我例外
2 knee surgeries.
2次膝盖手术
1 shoulder dislocation.
1次肩膀脱臼
1 major car accident – 4 broken vertebras, minus 1 kidney, 1 serious concussion.
1次大型车祸 - 断了4节脊椎，少了一个肾，一次严重脑震荡
And all of that in less then 5 years! Impressive?… I think so!
这一切都发生在了5年之内！不可思议吧？至少我是这么觉得
Why the long faces? I’m ok now, really. you saw those videos I posted. It was all taken after those unfortunate incidents.
不用目瞪口呆，真的，我已经好了。你们能看到我平时发的视频，这些都是在事故之后的事了
The truth is that I had to rehab myself so many times, and every-time it just got harder and harder. It felt like one step forward and 100 steps backwards. I was tired and frustrated. For a while there I actually thought I was cursed.
说实话我尝试着多次自己康复，每一次都更加艰难无比。每前进一步又会后退一百步。我累了也感受到了挫败。我当时觉得自己就是被诅咒了
The “restoring my elements” process was hard and long, lucky for me I wasn’t alone in this, I had good people that helped me all the way through. Especially Ido Portal, my teacher, who restructured me every time until I was good as new. I think he should make a living out of it…wait a minute, he already does.
那个“恢复我本能”的过程拖了很久也很艰难。幸运的是我不是孤身一人，我有一群身边支持着我的人。尤其是我的老师Ido Portal，他每一次都让我重新复活，像是回到新生儿一样。我认为他应该靠这个吃饭，等等我忘了，他已经做到了
On my rehab protocol I was working massively on my leg strength. After you go through 2 knee surgeries (on the same knee, by the way) you become a little skeptical about making full recovery and bringing your knee to the same condition that it was before. I was very skeptical, losing range of motion and having great pain didn’t help so much. All I knew was that I had to move myself, because nobody was going to do it for me. It was time to bring out the heavy artillery. I stopped whining, stopped feeling sorry for myself and started working.
在我康复的计划里我用了大量时间在下肢力量上。当你同一个膝盖做了两次手术之后，你不得不会产生怀疑，真的还可以完全恢复到以前的状态了吗？我真的不信，失去了一大半的关节运动幅度还痛得要命。但我知道我必须要坚持去动身体，因为没有人能替我做。是时候行动了。我不再哭哭啼啼地抱怨，不再为自己的人生感到抱歉，只能行动起来
Olympic lifting, front & back squats, jumping pistols, calves work and even acrobatics were a big part of my not so conventional physical therapy. It wasn’t a walk in the park, it was hard uncompromising work not just physically but mentally as well. Before I went through the surgery I had hyper extended knees; my flexibility was a given thing. Because of this the thing that made my feel like handicapped more then anything else was the fact that I couldn’t straighten my knee all the way through. I remember moments when my knee literally betrayed me, just refused to cooperate. There were times when I forced it and kept on going, and there were other times that I stopped altogether, because it’s important to know where this thin line between building yourself and destroying yourself passes. After a couple of months of intensive work I started seeing huge improvement in all aspects – I became stronger, regained almost the full range of motion and most important of all I had the freedom to move again.
奥林举，前蹲举&背蹲举，跳跃手枪蹲，小腿训练，还有杂技动作也成为了我非常规传统的理疗恢复训练。那种训练不是在公园里走走路，而是闷头苦干的脏活累活，不仅是肉体上还有精神上。我在做手术之前我的膝盖是天生过度伸展；我的柔韧性是天赐的。但也因为这个，再也无法伸直膝盖让我感觉自己残废了。我记得当时我的膝盖完全不听使唤。有时我会逼着自己去突破，也有时候我彻底放弃了，因为我知道在推自己一把和摧毁自己一生之间只有一线之差。几个月后我才看到自己各方面有了巨大的进展，我变强壮了，找回了关节的完整运动幅度，更重要的是我又能自由自在地运动了
I became a great believer in this kind of work, and I highly recommend it wherever I go. And you can trust me, I know it works. I’m a living kicking proof:
我对这种方法更加坚定了，不管走到哪里我都会推广它。你们可以相信我，因为我知道它的价值，我本人就是最好的例子：
-95 kg back squat
-95公斤背蹲举
-80 kg front squat
-80公斤前蹲举
-40 kg full snatch
40公斤抓举
-55 kg full clean
-55公斤高翻
-pistol work with 20 kg
-手枪单腿蹲负重20公斤
I know I’ll have to keep on working my leg strength for the rest of my life, you know what? I don’t have a problem with that. It became a part of my daily routine, and I’m addicted…
我知道我必须要坚持训练下肢力量一辈子，但我不怕。它已经成为了我的日常习惯，我已经上瘾了

你是为了什么运动？
我们很容易被主流文化、身边的家人朋友、某种潮流、社会法则所主导。虽然我一开头就问了两个针对女生的刁钻问题，但这种问题不仅限于女生。很多男生也一样，一提到运动就只有健美健身。男生运动就是为了展现自己阳刚的一面，那么阴柔面呢？女生运动为了外型，那么实用价值呢？我无权来质疑任何人运动的动机，既然存在那就是合理的，只不过有的动机相对肤浅，对长远的成长没有帮助。在下一次跟风之前不妨先停下脚步听一下自己的心声并咨询一位比你经验更加丰富的人。不过你要小心，大众是愚昧的，在网上随便找到教程模仿时、在论坛发出提问时，你要小心过滤这些信息来源。这年头谁都有发言权，但不代表谁的发言都是有价值的
