3. Read the text. Which of the underlined expressions mean fit and healthy and which not fit!
My Mum's in really good shape. She goes to the gym twice a week and plays tennis on Sunday. My Dad, on the other hand, is really unfit. He spends all day in front of the TV — he gets out of breath if he has to get up to answer the phone. My sister's a swimming instructor. As you can imagine, she's as fit as a fiddle, but my brother, who used to play rugby every weekend, is now out of condition — he must have put on 20 kilos in the last two years. Finally, there's my granddad. He's nearly eighty but he's got lots of energy. He plays golf three times a week and jogs around the park on the other days!
4. Read the description of two types of exercise and say which of the sports below are more anaerobic or aerobic.
badminton, cycling, walking, fishing, golf, gymnastics, boating, jogging, windsurfing, martial arts, skiing, basketball, horse racing, ballooning
There are two types of exercise: anaerobic and aerobic. Football and squash are anaerobic exercises. In anaerobic exercises, you move suddenly and quickly. They make your muscles stronger but they don't help your heart very much. Swimming and running are aerobic exercises. In aerobic exercises, you move all the time and breathe more oxygen. The oxygen goes into your blood and then to your heart which works hard sending your blood around your body. Aerobic exercises make your heart stronger.
