yeah
yeah
you know the word of English is a fun
and exciting place to be
I'm so glad you could join you for
another lesson
ha
yeah
hi everybody this is mr. Duncan in
England
how are you today are you okay 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 his seem to
have the time to carry out in this
lesson we will take a look at health and
exercise
boo
when we talk about our health
we are actually describing two things
first we refer to our physical health
the way our body is functioning how well
it is working
how 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 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 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 and healthy 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 will 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 you're 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 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 work out a
strenuous tiring exercise session
focusing on certain parts of the body
such as the muscles in your arms legs
chest and abdomen
there are many different types of
exercise for the body to perform and
which one you do depends 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 a fast
walk will make you sweat a little
and it will provide a good session of
exercise to make your hard work and help
your joint stay flexible and simple
then there is vigorous or strenuous
exercise
this is what really breaks you into a
sweat for example a long run will really
make your body work and you will be able
to feel the effects of this exercise
immediately
you can have a work out at a gym or
health spa lifting heavy objects such as
weights do not only keep you fit
they also help you to build up your body
there are many simple exercises 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
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 the streets and along the roads
who keep on jogging until you arrive
back home
all you can go for a run
how do you running is much faster than
jogging
he can make you feel very tired so we
went to the end of the street then
around the corner across the field up
the hill back down again
run in a big circle around the streets
and along the roads keep on running
until you arrive back home
the way you take care of your health
depends on many different factors the
things you put into your body such as
alcohol and cigarette smoke have the
ability to affect the way your body
functions alcohol damages the brain and
liver while cigarettes cause damage to
your lungs
the combination of both can lead to many
forms of cancer
the phrase smoke and drink yourself to
death is a very true one
besides taking regular exercise you must
also ensure that you are getting enough
rest for example by making sure that you
are getting plenty of sleep each and
every night
the sleeping process allows your body to
unwind mentally while at the same time
recharging you physically
one two three
oh yeah it's okay I'm just exercising my
word power
please yourself believe it or not it is
possible to exercise too much you can do
too much exercise if you work out too
often or try to push your body too far
then you run the risk of causing damage
to your muscles and joints
it is better to do a little over a short
time rather than a lot over a long time
especially if you are not used to taking
exercise just one hour's exercise per
day should be enough to keep you feeling
fit if you ever find yourself feeling
any pain or dizziness during exercise
then you should stop for most people
daily moderate exercise with her once or
twice weekly workout will be sufficient
remember over doing exercise can be just
as bad as not doing it enough
there are many sporting activities that
can give you a vigorous workout and help
keep you fit such as badminton football
squash tennis and volleyball
another great activity is swimming which
is good for giving you a relaxing to all
over body workout as you float in the
water without all that tiring muscle
strain
there has never been a time when the
issue of health has been such a hot
topic are hectic lifestyles and the need
for that magic quick fix from a burger
or a bar of chocolate has led to an ever
growing proportion of is becoming
unhealthy eating less and exercising
more are both easier said than done but
just like anything a habit can be
changed or broken with a little
determination and willpower
it is possible to change the way you
live and keep in shape
just an hour a day for a walk around the
block or a couple of workout sessions
per week at the local gym can help you
to stay as fit as a fiddle
yeah
yeah
yeah
huh
that's better going out on a fine day
for a spot of exercise is the best way
to keep your body in good condition
of course you don't always have to do
something strenuous or tiring to stay
fit
taking a brisk 30 minutes walk at least
once a day is a great way to stay in
shape
if the weather is not good then you can
walk up and down the stairs in your
house a few times
the important thing is to work your body
and tire it out a little
that is all for me for today
stay healthy and happy until the next
time we meet
this is mr. Duncan in England saying
thank you for watching me teaching you
and of course to talk for now
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
