"GYM" - Text 1o ano

Hello folks! Esta semana teremos uma atividade envolvendo leitura e interpretacao de texto.Anote as perguntas e respostas no seu caderno pois verificaremos no meu retorno em agosto.

Some people prefer gyms where you pay a monthly fee. At a health club, you can do exercises by yourself or take classes where you will do stretching exercises, aerobics etc. You can bike or lift weights at a health club too. Of course, you can also do these kinds of exercises home. If you want to lift weights or ride an exercise bike, though, you will have to buy some equipment, and this might sometimes be expensive. But you don’t need any special equipment to do aerobics or stretching exercises. You can also get exercise by jogging on the streets or in a park.

If it's still hard for you to find the time to exercise, don’t worry. You can get some exercise by walking every day. Most people find it hard to make excuses for not walking 15 minutes a day. The important thing is to do something. And start now. You’ll feel better.Fonte:passeiweb
