 　　4.3 Physical Exercises 运动健身
W: Mark, what kind of exercises do you usually do?
M: Well, I love to do push-ups and I go cycling every day.
W: What do you like about them?
M: They are free of charge anyways, and it makes me feel stronger. But the more important thing is that it makes me feel good.
W: What else do you do?
M: Swimming, jogging, weight lifting.
W: Wow, that sounds great. How often do you go jogging?
M: I try to do at least a little every day. The key to do exercise is to do it regularly¹.
W: What are the best exercises for health?
M: I think it's impossible to name one exercise that is good for everyone.
W: How about yoga?
M: Oh, yeah, I almost forgot. Yoga is now the most popular exercise in the States. Lots of people are doing that, especially those movie stars. They think it's a good way of losing weight and it can calm you down, make you think of nothing, and just concentrate² on yourself.
W: That sounds like Chinese breath³ exercise.
M: What's that?
W: It's called Qigong. It's just like yoga to calm you down. You know that stuff⁴, but in a different way.
M: Emma, what's your favorite exercise?
W: Sleeping I guess.
