雅思口语:“头脑风暴”

Exercise is necessary for good health and everybody knows about this but not everyone is willing to do it especially on a daily basis. I started using the treadmill around January of this year. This was advised by my best friend because she was concerned about my continuous weight gain. Doing the treadmill serves as our cardio exercise for a healthier heart. This is also to keep our body fit. At first, I did it once a week, then twice a week, then thrice a week, until such time that I am now able to do it on a regular basis. I am currently doing the treadmill everyday. One thing about exercise is that it should be done consistently too otherwise, everything would be in vain. I used to go to my best friend’s house to use her treadmill but now I go to the gym because it is nearer our place. The first few days, weeks, and months seem to be a drag as I forced myself to walk to the gym. Nowadays, I am up and above at five o clock in the morning ready and eager to jog to the gym just to use the treadmill. It has now become a routine, a habit, and a lifestyle. When we use the treadmill, we are actually walking, running or jogging which is good for our heart and blood circulation. Some people are bored with it because they claimed that using the treadmill may make us physically active but mentally idle. Because of this, some people go to the gym with their earphones so that they could listen to music while doing their treadmill. Some students do their memorization of exams while they are doing the treadmill. But most of the treadmills in the gyms nowadays have television sets at the front section of the equipment so that the user could watch television programs or news while using the treadmill.
