2012年ESL之就医和人际交往 11 Doing Basic Exercises

（单词翻译）

Doing Basic Exercises 

Jane: I’ve just had the best workout at the gym! 

Arnold: You don’t need to go to a gym to exercise. I exercise right here in my apartment. 

Jane: Oh, yeah? What can you do in this small space? 

Arnold: Nearly everything I need to do. Before I do my calisthenics, I stretch. And every morning I do sit-ups, push-ups, and pull-ups. 

Jane: That’s not enough to keep you in shape. 

Arnold: I’m not finished. Every other day I do lunges and squats¹, and I lift free weights. 

Jane: But what about a cardio workout? 

Arnold: I do jumping jacks², run in place, and jump rope on the balcony. 

Jane: I guess you’ve got it all figured out. 

Arnold: I think so. Have you seen the light? Are you going to stop going to the gym? 

Jane: No way! Exercise isn’t the only reason I go to the gym, you know. I go for the view. 

Arnold: I have a feeling you’re not talking about the view outside. 

Jane: You’ve got that right!
