嗨,大家好!Ryan,你今天看起來精神超好。

謝謝!我昨晚早睡,睡得很好。

真好。你最近有養成什麼新習慣嗎?

其實有!我這個月開始了一件新事情。

喔,快說,是什麼?

我每天早上都會活動身體三十分鐘。

太棒了!你是跑步還是舉重?

其實兩種都有一點。

所以,你是每天都運動嗎(work out)?

幾乎每天都是。「Work out」的意思就是運動。

我很喜歡這句,又短又好記。

昨天我去了一個新地方運動。

真的嗎?你去了哪裡?

我家附近開了一間新的健身房。

所以你決定去健身房(hit the gym),而不是在外面跑步。

沒錯。「Hit the gym」就是去那裡運動的意思。

那次運動很累嗎?

超累的!我真的流了一身汗(break a sweat)。

哈!意思就是你運動到滿身大汗。

對啊,不過在那之前,我得先讓身體做好準備。

你是說你得先熱身(warm up)吧。

沒錯,短暫的熱身可以幫助你避免受傷。

很聰明。教練有幫你嗎?

有,她跟我說:「Push yourself a little more each time.(每次都再多逼自己一點。)」

這就是變強壯的方法,一步一步來。

沒錯,不過明天我要休息一天(rest day)。
