Topic: But I Hate To Exercise And Have To Anyway

But I Hate To Exercise And Have To Anyway
From Debra Manzella

I'm willing to bet that there are more people who hate to exercise than there are people who love it. I'm too busy. I can't afford a gym. I hate to sweat. I just don't wanna. Let the whining begin. Let there be as much drama as we can stand about the unfairness of life. Get it all out in the open. And when it's all said and done, realize that we still have to roll off the couch and move, so we might as well get it over with.
If I was to tell the truth, I would tell you that I am the biggest exercise shirker in the world. And no one would disagree with me. I have a sister who's a marathon runner. "Come on," she says. "Come running with me, you'll love it."
"I'd rather stick spoons in my eyes," I answer.
I have another sister who loves to go the the YMCA.
It's inexpensive, it's got all the right equipment, what's not to love? She'll text me a single letter on my cell phone. "Y?" This means she'd like me to join her for two hours of crazy, sweaty fun at the Y. "Why?" I text back. This makes her grumpy.
Do I have a bad attitude? Am I lazy? You betcha.
But, you know what? Deep down I know that exercise is good for me. Now that my fasting blood glucose has hit 126 mg/dl, I know I'm heading for trouble if I don't change my hedonistic ways. I need to break out a pair of sneakers and break into a sweat. And I need to do it now.
It doesn't matter that I hit the big 50 this year and feel older than ever. Eventually, everyone needs to exercise to be healthy. But I don't have to follow the crowd. I can come up with my own ways to exercise. I'll probably never run with my sister. I'll probably never log hours on a treadmill or stationary bike. I'll follow my own path, literally.
I need to sit down, (of course) and think of what I used to like when I was younger. I remember that I loved to be in the woods, breathing in the fresh pine air. So, I'll hike. That's exercise.
I love martial arts movies. I'll take a little Tai Chi and channel some Jackie Chan. I love lying in a horizontal position, so yoga seems like something I might enjoy. It's all about finding the things that we like to do. That's what gets me to click the "off" button on the remote and actually stand up and walk across the room to put on my sneakers.
Exercise has to seem like fun and it has to seem like my own idea. If I feel like someone is telling me I have to do it, I probably won't. But if I build my exercise to connect with the things I already love, I just might succeed at having a healthy lifestyle. At the very least, I'll be giving my couch a break.

Questions
1. Do you like to exercise? Why or why not? What are the good and bad sides of exercise?
2. If you like to do exercise, what kind of exercise do you do and how often do you usually do it? Why do you choose this exercise?
3.What kind of exercise did you usually do when you were a student?
4. Have you ever done any interesting exercise before?
5. Do you know any good places where people can go for exercising?
6. Do you wanna try some extreme sports such as bungie jumping or parachute?
7. If you don’t like to exercise how do you keep yourself healthy?

Audio for 1118 Artical

文章jerry2508 » 週一 11月 13, 2006 11:55 pm

CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO THE AUDIO...and more !
http://blog.xuite.net/blog.phtml?bid=170254

This is the first piece of recording, ever, that I feel a bit more content with,
in terms of tone, mood, articulation, fluency, background music, timing, mixing... mm..overall performace. :wink:

The background music perfectly match and bring out author's helplessly hedonistic attitute and mixed feelings torward the popular trend-excercise...

WHAT DO YOU SAY? :P

Let's sleep on it.

文章jerry2508 » 週六 11月 18, 2006 1:47 am

Hello, Murghy. How goes it? :D

Thank you for inviting. But, I guess you can't afford it.
I mean...you can't afford to see the party turned into a big mess...by me. Ha-ha!
Seriously, I got to admit I'm not much of a talker... in public.
Reading articals out loud is one thing, and hosting an event is another. Let's sleep on it. :wink:

By the way, do "you need me" for any jobs at your office? Like interrogating suspects, fighting the crime...just kidding! :lol:

Dear Jerry,

I like your sense of humor!


Well, how about being a "Post-man" in the EVP of Happy English Club!

Just like what you did now. I enjoy your responses for our forum very much! You make us alive.

I do cry after listening to your "The End Of The World" !

Questions

文章jerry2508 » 週三 11月 22, 2006 9:33 am

Hey, Murphy. I got a few "very serious" questions. :D


*Why does the pregnant woman in your icon have no breats? :roll:

*Isn't it extremely dangerous to ski when she has a bun in the oven? :roll:

*Why does she ski without ski poles ? :roll:

*Why does her hair not even move at all while skiing?
:roll:

Well...you don't have to answer if you don't have a clue either.

Hahaha... :lol: "POST-MAN"...that's funny and makes sense. You're creative in puns, Murphy.

Let's see, what other "man" we can be...

horseman騎師, statesman, councilman, chairman, watchman看門人, salesman, seaman水手,
gunman鎗手, sworsman刀客, laundryman, handyman零工, washerman洗衣工, boatman船夫,
fisherman, stableman馬夫, woodman樵夫, footman男僕, policeman, stuntman替身, mailman,
clergyman神職人員, foreman工頭, junkman收舊貨的人...


But I'd rather be a Superman, a Batman, :evil:
or a con man, a witchman, a lady's man... a little bit on the dark side... :oops:
Oh, never a lady man!!! :lol:
