Do you like running? How about going for long walks? Or maybe you are more into lifting weights. No matter what you do, working out is an important part of staying healthy.
There are many different ways to work out. Some people want to get really big muscles, so they go to the gym and pump iron. Other people are more casual and just want to get a little definition. These people usually just want to get fit, so they do things like go for a hike. It’s always good to get up and move instead of just sit and watch TV.
Jessica asks Romeo for some advice about working out. Find out what he says in today’s English lesson about being active.

Jessica: Romeo, I have wanted to start working out, but I don’t know where to begin. I would rather do something more casual, like go on a hike. Do you have any advice?
Romeo: Well, it depends on what your focus is. Are you trying to get fit? Or are you looking to be a body builder?
Jessica: Well, I would definitely like to get some definition in my muscles. But I might want to just start slow.
Romeo: I like that. I like your intentions.
Jessica: Thanks.
Romeo: You should try amino acids. I would definitely encourage you to do that.
Jessica: Thank you.
Romeo: You don’t always have to pump iron. It sounds like you’re more interested in just getting fit.
Jessica: Exactly. Maybe I’ll work up to lifting weights on a regular basis, and then you can come help me.
Romeo: No problem. I would love to.
Jessica: Thanks, Romeo!
