You know the world of English is a fun and exciting place to
be, I’m so glad you could join us for another lesson.
Hi everybody…this is Misterduncan in England!
How are you today? Are you OK? I hope so!
Are you happy? I hope so!
In today’s lesson we will take a look at two aspects of our
lives. One is something we take for granted while it is there, but miss it
terribly when it has gone. The other is an activity that we are all encouraged
to do, but few of us seem to have the time to carry out.
In this lesson we will take a look at..health and exercise.
When we talk about our health, we are actually describing
two things. First we refer to our…physical health, the way our bodies are
functioning, how well it is working, how (well) all the different parts of your
body are functioning. Then we refer to our…mental health, how each one of us feels emotionally. How we
deal with all of the problems in our lives. How we see other people around us.
How (well) we cope with the effects of worry and stress. It would be fair to
say that there is a connection between physical and mental health and that they
(both) have the ability to affect each other.
If you feel tired after any sudden activity, such as getting
up from the sofa and walking a short distance or feeling out of breath after
climbing a few stairs, then there is a good chance that you are out of shape.
You are unfit. Your health is poor. You are unhealthy. Prolonged inactivity or
situations where you are not moving around much, such as sitting in front of
the television, driving a car, or working in an office, may lead to you
becoming unfit. The food you eat also decides how fit you are. Many of us eat
far too much food containing fat and sugar such as biscuits, burgers, cheese,
chocolate and other types of so-called junk food. Over time you wil gain weight
and become obese. Your blood pressure will rise and your heart will be put
under strain by all the extra body mass. You will find simple activities more exhausting.
If your unhealthy lifestyle continues over a long period of time, you run the
risk of suffering from diseases such as diabetes and your heart will become
weak. Your chances of dying of a heart attack or stroke greatly increase if you
are overweight.
There are many words connected to exercise such
as..aerobics. Exercise that makes the heart beat fast from (through) constant
body movement. We call this cardiovascular exercise. Burn, this word is used to
express the energy being used up during exercise. Recreation, a general word
for any exercise or leisure activity. Keep Fit, the act of taking exercise or
following a course of exercise routines. Workout, a strenuous (tiring) exercise
session focusing on certain parts of the body, such as the muscles of your
arms, legs, chest, and abdomen.
There are many types of exercise for the body to perform and
which one you do depend on how fit you are. And what you are trying to achieve
from the exercise. There is light exercise such as walking, stretching, or just
generally moving about. If you do a job where you are always on the move, then
you are not only working, you are keeping fit as well.
Then there is moderate exercise. A light jog or fast walk
will make you sweat a little and it will provide a good session of exercise to
make your heart work and help your joints stay flexible and supple. Then there
is vigorous or strenuous exercise. This is what really breaks you out into a
sweat. For example, a long run or jog will really make your body work and you will
be able to feel the effects of this exercise immediately. You can have (go for)
a workout at a gym or health spa (health centre). Lifting heavy objects such as
weights, do not only keep you fit, they also help to build up your body.
There are many simple exercise for keeping fit and healthy.
The most popular ones include…walking. Yes, just go for a walk. Walk to the end
of your street, then around the corner, across the field, up the hill and back
down again. Walk in a big circle, around (through) the streets and along the
roads, keep on walking, until you arrive
back home. Oh you can also jog. Jogging is quicker than walking, but not as
fast as running. You can jog to the end of your street, then around the corner,
across the field, up the hill and back down again. Jog in a big circle, around
(through) the streets…and along the roads. Keep on jogging…until you
arrive…back home. Or..you can go for a run. Oh dear! Running is much faster
(quicker) than jogging. It can make you feel very tired. So…run to the end of
your street, then around the corner, across the field, up the hill and back
down again. Run in a big circle, around (through) the streets and along the
roads, keep on running…until you arrive…back home!
