Talking about health & sports. 聊聊健康与运动

A：You’re in good shape. Been working out?

B: Yeah. I’ve been going to the gym quite often. I do a lot of exercise every day.

A: Wow. That’s so cool! Is this how you keep in good shape? I was wondering if you could give me some advice. I’ve always wanted to look fit, but I’ve been out of shape for as long as I can remember.

B: Yeah. Pretty much. I also play soccer with my colleagues on the weekends. You should come. It might be a bit too tough and exhausting for you at first, but you’ll get there. I used to go swimming a lot. What about you? Do you do any exercise or play any sports at all?

A: I played a little basketball back in high school, but after I started to work, I also started to put on weight. The more weight I put on, the less I want to work out. The less I work out, the fatter I get. It’s a vicious circle.

B: Right on! So what are you waiting for? Come and join me. I’m gonna hit the gym in a bit. Come along!
