Matthew (Canada): I ride1 my bicycle. I
like to ride my bicycle around most of the time, if I'm able to2 I'll ride a bicycle to work, and also I
like to walk everywhere. I've never
owned a car3, so I tend
to4 walk a lot of different places.
Lindsay (United States): I
like to go running5
two or three times a week, but to be honest Im not
the best runner6.
I only ... I probably walk for fifteen minutes, then run for ten, and then walk
for another fifteen minutes. I'm hoping7
someday I can work up to run, to do running for at least8 twenty minutes.
Paul
(England): I like to go to the gym9 a few times10 a week, I
like to go to the gym. I really like running but at the moment it's quite cold11 outside
so I don't like to go running outside so I usually go to the gym and use the treadmill12.
Aki
(Japan): Every week I go to
yoga. I also go do some walking13.
I also do some push-ups14
every day, but that's about it. I also try to control what I eat. I don't eat that much oily food15, or I
don't drink much alcohol, so I guess16
that's how I try18
to keep fit19.
Eoin
(England): To stay in shape19, I
try and walk a lot, is one thing, and also I cycle20 into work two or three times a week. Now
that might not sound like much21
but I actually22
work on top of a mountain, so that's a
fair amount of23 exercise. It takes me about24 thirty, forty minutes.
Shalini
(Canada): Exercise? Including
... going to the gym, doing yoga, dancing, hiking25,
whatever ... whatever26
physical activity I can get my hand on that doesn't involve really going to the gym would be preferable27.
