第 5 课:movements of parts of the body 身体部位的运动- 2

A: can you suggest a few exercise to help me get fit and stretch my muscles a littlt?

B: sure. If you want to stretch your legs, a good exercise is to lift your knee in front of your body, like this. It's a very simple exercise, but very effective.

A: I need to excise my arms too. How can I do that?

B: one good way is to do push-ups. Another way is to use weights. Make sure you grip the weights firmly. You don't want to drop them on your feet!

A: when I do push-ups, should I bend my elbows so that my nose touches the ground?

B: you don't need to bend your elbows that much. Bend them so that your arms are at a 90 degree angle. The most important think is to remember to keep your body straight. Many people bend their bodies at the waist, which reduces the effectiveness of the exercise.

A: what's a good exercise for my chest muscles?

B: one that I recommend is that you lie on your back. You should have a weight in each hand and stretch your arms out side of your body.

A: so I need plenty of space for this exercise.

B: yes, you do. Lift the weight up, keeping your arms straight all the time.

A: great. Thanks for you advice!
