Bob:”You look really fit and toned! How do you do it? I can’t seem to
improve much at the health club?"
Andy: "What’s your routine like?"
Bob: "I usually spend 30 minutes on the treadmill or stationary
bike for the cardio, and then I lift weight for about 20 minutes."
Andy: "And how often do you go?"
Bob: "I want to go at least 3 times a week, but I usually workout twice
only because of my work."
Andy: "Did an instructor give you a weekly schedule?”
Bob: “Yes, I’m supposed to work on legs and forearms too, but I didn’t
enjoy that and I got a little sore afterwards.”
Andy: "How long have you been lifting weights?"
Bob: "For a year and a half but I don’t have much muscle definition."
Andy: “Maybe you’ve been working out on the same machines for too long, and
you are pretty used to them. You need to vary your routine”
Bob:”I know. It’s only that I hate going to the gym really.”
Andy: “Have you thought about getting a personal trainer? You could sign
up for a few sessions to help you set up a good regimen.”
Bob:”Isn’t that supposed to be very expensive?”
Andy:”It could be. Another option to see better results is to train more
often, like every other day."
Bob: "That's a lot. I don't think I have the discipline for
that."
Andy: "Just think of it as a hobby. It's actually fun when you
start seeing results."
Bob:”Thanks for the advice. I’ll definitely look into that.”

a frozen dinner 3) It was mentioned in the "New York Times", it has dozens of smartphone apps, countless
youtube training clips and a music video 4)Yes, she says “I'm winded and
sweeting.” 5) 96 - 163 – 7 – 52 6) The scientist says it is good, but there
probably isn't enough research to say this is all you need to do. 7) He recommends doing it not once, but three
times for a good hard vigorous workout.
8) He is suprised that three times makes it a 21-minute workout. He
thinks that it might not be the best
workout, but he feels that “it still packs a punch” (hits you hard).
