Benjamin: Wow, I can't catch my breath. You are running too fast, honey.

 

Shirley: You just need more exercise.

 

Benjamin: Yes, but you need to slow down. This is jogging, not racing¹!

 

Shirley: I don't care. I want to burn up my fat.

 

Benjamin: But running so fast is not good for people over forties.

 

Shirley: Why?

 

Benjamin: We are not as athletic² as we were when young. Mild exercise is more suitable for us.

 

Shirley: But I want to burn up more calories!

 

Benjamin: In fact, in order to burn up your fat, you must take it slowly for a longer time.

 

Shirley: Really? I will slow down then.

 

Benjamin: That's right, honey. Oh, you don't need to be as slow as a tortoise.

 

Shirley: I don't care.
