100 Slang Words and Phrases

En el podcast de Hot Yoga Parte 1 habíamos hablado sobre la flexibilidad y la capacidad pulmonar.

Y en esta ocasión te voy a presentar el Beneficio Nº3, que es la mejora de la densidad ósea. Como todos sabemos, la densidad ósea disminuye con la edad. Por ejemplo, con la menopausia se reduce hasta un 50%, y aproximadamente la mitad de este porcentaje se pierde en los primeros 10 años. 

Según un estudio realizado por la Scientific Research en mayo de 2014, en un período de 5 años, la densidad ósea de las personas con menopausia que practicaban yoga con calor aumentó en la pelvis, la zona lumbar y el cuello. El estudio llegó a la conclusión de que los entornos con temperaturas altas reducen los efectos de la osteoporosis en las mujeres mejorando la circulación, la respiración y la sudoración.

Y ahora mismo también te puedo contar sobre otro beneficio de esta disciplina, que es su capacidad de quemar calorías. Una investigación llevada a cabo por la Universidad de Colorado en EEUU demostró que las personas que practicaban hot yoga eran las que más calorías quemaban: las mujeres unas 330 calorías en una clase de 90 minutos y los hombres unas 460 (porque normalmente pesan más). En un estudio con la temperatura alta se suda mucho más, así que el cuerpo debe trabajar más para regular la temperatura y el corazón tiene que bombear más sangre. Esto significa que con el Hot Yoga se quema una mayor cantidad de calorías que en una clase de yoga tradicional sin calor.

Y éstas fueron dos nuevas ventajas que te presento sobre esta disciplina, para que puedas entrenar tu comprensión auditiva mediante el quizz asociado y luego chequear tus respuestas con la transcripción correspondiente.

ARTESANIAS MEXICANAS DE VIDRIO.

Covered with pins and adornments, Vivianne Robinson is hard to miss in the streets of Paris.

The Olympics superfan has attended seven Summer Games over 40 years. But this trip to Paris came at a cost of $10,000.

Robinson, 66 and from Los Angeles, maxed out her credit cards and worked two jobs to afford the trip and the 38 event tickets she bought. And she has to work two more years to make up the money she spent.

"It was hard to save up and it's a big budget, but it's a thousand times worth it," she says.

Robinson's fascination with the Olympics started when her mother worked as a translator for athletes during the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. Her mother would come home after work with pins from athletes that she gave to her daughter.

Her hobby of collecting pins led her to Atlanta 1996, where she made rice necklaces for athletes in exchange for their pins.

"I got all the pins and I got to meet all the athletes. And in those days, it wasn't high security like now," she said. "Now you can't even get near the athletes' village."

From there: Sydney 2000, Athens 2004, London 2012 and Rio 2016. She got a visa for Beijing 2008, but couldn't afford the trip. It was similar for Tokyo: she bought tickets, but got refunded as COVID-19 soared and the Games were held without spectators.

Robinson's outfits started simply but have become more complex over time. She spent a year working on her Paris outfit, which has hundreds of adornments. People often stop her in the street, asking for a photo.

As soon as these Olympics end, she will start working on the next Summer Games — which will be in her hometown in Los Angeles.

"I'm going to do it forever," she said. "I'm going to save all my money and just concentrate on Olympics."
