the following article on getting fit and mark
() sentences 1 to 7 T (True) or F (False).
My first piece of advice to people who want
to start getting fit is: don't buy an exercise
bike. Typically, people who buy them use them
for a week or so and then forget about them.
They are effective if they are used regularly
but you need to be determined. Most people
will find it much easier to go for a gentle
jog around the park.
As
well as being easy to do, jogging is also
relatively cheap compared to most other
sports. You don't need to buy expensive
clothes if you're just going running around
the park or on the beach. The main thing
is that they're comfortable, and that they
keep you warm in the winter and cool in
the summer.
There
is one piece of equipment, however, that
you will have to spend time and money on,
and that's your running shoes. Remember
that you are not looking for a fashion item,
but for something that will support your
feet and protect you from injury. They can
be expensive, but if they are good quality
they will last you a long time. It's always
best to get expert advice, and the best
place for that is a sports shop.
As
for the actual jogging, the secret is to
start gently, and not to do too much at
the beginning - especially if you haven't
had any exercise for a long time. Try a
mixture of walking and running for ten minutes
about three times a week at first. Once
you are happy doing that you can then start
to increase the amount you do gradually.
After a few months you should hope to be
able to run at a reasonable speed for twenty
minutes three or four times a week.
It's
important that you feel comfortable with
whatever you do. If you do, you'll start
to enjoy it and will probably keep doing
it. If it makes you feel uncomfortable,
you'll probably stop after a short time
and return to your bad habits. In any case,
training too hard is not very effective.
Research has shown that somebody who exercises
for twice as long or twice as hard as another
person doesn't automatically become twice
as fit.
