Welcome to
a new lesson today we are going to talk about being fit talking about fitness of course because of the festive season all the sweets and all the oily food and delicacies that I have been pigging on I realized that I had gained a lot of weight, so it's time for me to get back in shape, so we are going to here look at some expressions that you can use while talking about fitness, so the first one that we have to get fit or to get in shape that's the one I just used it basically means that you want to become more healthy and lose some weight, okay you need to lose the flab so that's what you can use to get fit or to get in shape okay so you can say oh I want to become I won't get back in shape which means that you want to lose weight okay then we have workout now workout basically means it's the period of exercise okay it's an exercise routine so for whatever time that you
exercise be it in a gym, or you do yoga, so that period is called as your workout session okay or just your workout right then we have warm-up and cool down warm-up means now you may have often heard people saying, oh it's time for a warm-up session so what warm-up means is that it's a form of light exercise okay you're basically preparing your body for an intense workout for an intense session of exercising okay so these are light
exercises that you do to prepare your body for a good workout, so that's what is a warm-up session
or warm-up exercises also then we have cooled down is basically when you have to reduce the intensity of your exercise, okay you may have often seen if you walk out on a treadmill, you would see a button which says cooled so basically reducing the intensity off to know where your heart rate while you are exercising okay it also ends like it follows by stretching okay so you stretch your muscles so that it prevents you from causing any injury or any stiffness, okay so that's what is cooled down so the next one that
We have over here is burning calories now. Burning calories doesn't literally mean that you set your calories on fire. It just means that you have gotta lose calories, okay, so for example, a piece of cake is about 200 calories, so to eat that, you need to burn calories also, isn't it to stay healthy? You need to burn those calories, okay so
Definitely, that requires a good workout session, right so? You can use this expression called burning calories to lose calories which means losing calories; then we have to decide how you might have heard many girls
especially talking about their diet plans offer them a piece of cake, and they'll be like, oh no, I'm on diet so what exactly dieting means to go on a diet means to eat healthy food or to eat less so usually if you are on a diet you
eat more of healthy stuff you do not I mean you don't binge on oily food or sweets and chocolates you eat healthy stuff, and you eat a little less okay, so that's being on a diet then we have brisk walking now brisk walking is the best form of exercise it basically means that you walk a little fast to increase your
heart rate is okay, so usually people do a lot of brisk walking in the mornings and also in the evenings, but morning brisk walks are just perfect, right, so it basically means that you walk a little fast to increase your heart
rate okay then we have jogging means running now not running fast but
what it exactly means that you jog you run in a prolonged and steady manner, okay so that's also
kind of exercise that people love to do people love to go on jobs especially in the mornings so these are basically some expressions that you can use while talking about fitness and now we will
look at some types of exercises that people like to do all right, so now let us look at the different types of
exercises that people like to do these days, so there are different classes also that people join so the first one that we have over here is yoga now Yoga is a very Indian traditional ancient form of exercise it's basically it includes stretching movements breathing exercises and meditation okay it helps you it helps to cure chronic diseases, and also it helps to give you peace of mind, so it's basically a union of a union between your body your soul and your mind okay now we have different types of yoga also like we have the traditional yoga and we have power yoga, so people are really getting into yoga all over the world these days then we have Pilate
and in some countries, it's also pronounced as pilots okay it's basically it's a form of exercise which is
done on exceptional equipment, it's a very indoor thing, and it is honestly pretty expensive also
so it's it helps you to strengthen your body strengthening and to tone your body, okay so it strengthens your muscles it makes you look really fit okay so
