Activity - Sport Flashcards
Describe something healthy you enjoy doing.
what you do
* swimming * used to swim a lot * taken it up
I’m going to describe a really healthy activity that I do, currently, which is swimming. I used to swim a lot when I was younger, but I’ve recently taken it up again, and I go a couple of times a week now.
where you do it
* local public pool * swim up and down in lanes * a lane to myself
I go swimming in a gym that I joined, which has a nice swimming pool. I tried going to my local public pool, but it was too busy and you couldn’t really swim up and down in lanes there. So, I found a gym that has a pool, and it’s usually quite empty, and I can have a lane to myself.
who you do it with
* a solitary sport * share a lane * focused, on my own * concentrating on my own swimming stroke and technique * endurance and stamina
I do this activity alone. It’s a solitary sport really, and I’m doing it for my own health reasons. Obviously, of course, there are other people in the pool when I’m there; sometimes you have to share a lane with another person. But, basically, I’m in there, concentrating on my own swimming stroke and technique, and trying to improve my endurance and stamina as well.
and explain why you think doing this is healthy.
* it’s widely accepted * all-over body workout * cardiovascular exercise * a low-impact sport * if you were running * impact on the joints * good for the mind * as soon as I hit the water it clears my mind * my stroke, my technique, the breathing * rejuvenates and reinvigorates
I think it’s widely accepted that swimming is really healthy. It’s a good all-over body workout; a great cardiovascular exercise with low-impact sport, so you’re not expected to get serious injuries. I think it’s good not only for your body, but it’s also for your mind. When I get into the swimming pool, as soon as I hit the water it clears my mind; And finally I think it rejuvenates and reinvigorates you to be in the water.
