M: But, I wanna know how do you feel when you practice yoga? Most of the postures look very contorted.
W: Oh, I feel really tired and sweat a lot. But it will help me keep fit, more importantly, I can have peace of mind.
M: It seems that it calls for great perseverance.
W: Yes, yoga could train our endurance.(6)A successful learner is an independent one, who has both an indomitable will and amazing endurance.
M: Haha, people are becoming more and more interested in not only taking care of themselves physically, but mentally and spiritually as well.
W: That’s because our knowledge of health and fitness increases in recent years.
M:(7)Yeah, we are feeling tired, under too much stress, no time to exercise... These factors make us have no choice to pay more attention to our own health and fitness.
W: It’s very rare for the universal agreement on this issue.
M: Anyway, to be frank, you look great recently.
W:(8)A couple of days ago, my back was so stiff and I couldn’t sleep on my stomach anymore. It was the yoga that made me feel better.
M: You mean practicing yoga is better than doing some weights or cardio?
W: What you say is true in a way.(9)Er, everyone knows that yoga is a great way to relieve stress, increase circulation and give us a positive attitude. There are many benefits of the yoga exercise. It is known that yoga also helps provide stress relief and health benefits. With the fast paced world of today, it is easy for an individual to become stressed out with the daily schedule and this type of stress will definitely affect the body and mind.
M: But yoga doesn’t do a whole lot to build lean toned muscle and burn fat, which is what most people want to do.
W:(10)The cardio maybe neither. To be honest, intense aerobics should be dependent on how old people are and some people who have heart diseases are not appropriate for the exciting activity.
Yoga is suitable for all ages of people, you know.
M: Oh, I am really frustrated, you win! Today, I will not take up jogging in the park, I’d like to have yoga class together with you!
