beginner
a: hello! nice to see you here at the finess centre again. what exercises
are you going to do today?
b; i'm going to do some jogging on the treadmill. then i think i'll do some
work with the dumbbless.
a; good idea. i'd suggest you do some crunches too. thery're great for
getting in shape. make sure you do them correctly.
b; ok. i will. could you help me with the treadmill? i found it difficult
to get the setting right last time.
a; sure. is today only you second visit?
b: yes, it is. i'll be coming here regularly. i think i need regular
exercise to get in shape and then to stay in shape.
a; the treadmill is excellent for helping you to build up stamina. each
time you use it, increase this distance. don't worry about your speed at first.
you can increase that later.
b; i was told that the first time i came heer. i was told not to put too
much pressure on my body at first. i need to build up slowly.
a: that's right. you don't want to injure yourself by exercising too much
or in the wrong way. now, this is how you make the settings for the
treadmill...

a; i think i should join a fitness centre. i am getting a little fat and
i'm totally out of shape. even a quick walk of a few hundred metres leaves me
out of breath.
b; i'm afraid you are beginning to look a litte overweight. you really need
to stop smoking. that's the main reason you're unhealthy.
a; i guess you're right. i've tried stopping, but i just can;t seem to
quit.
b; why don't you try smoking one cigarette less each day? how many do you
smoke each day now?
a; i smoke around 30 each day.
b; ok . so for one month,reduce the number you smoke by one a day. at the
end of the month, you'll have quit. you should also buy a tracksuit and go
jogging every morning. you don't need to jog far.
a; if i do a few exercises at home, like crunches, i'll soon deal with this
waistline.
b; be careful when you go jogging. don't put yourself under too much
stress. you're still a smoker shouldn't do too much exercises in your
condition.
a: i'll join a fitness centre.i'm sure they'll be able to give me more
advice. there's one near my office, so i can go before and after work. i don't
want to go jogging in the street, so i'll use a treadmill.
b; good idea. remember to eat healthily too. the trainers at the fitness
centre will be able to advise you on your diet. |
