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
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
