Why do you think people like going to the gym? What about you?

Nowadays a lot of people go to the gym to be fit. People are more and more concerned about their appearance, for this reason they like going to the gym.

A lot of people go to the gym all year because they like to make a good impression but there are people who only go for a few months before summer because they want to be thin to go to the beach. Fitness is very important and good, however, the gym can become an obsession. What's more, nowadays people are too concerned about appearance and often they forget that people are more than appearance. Personally, I prefer to do sports outside any gym like badminton or tennis.

To sum up, a lot of people like going to the gym because they like to make a good impression but they should do it slowly. Doing sport is very good for our health but it shouldn't become an obsession.

SPORT AND HEALTH

Going to the gym

The gym

Nowadays gyms are more important than before, because maybe currently appearance is important when you look for a job or meet people and you  want to be pretty and go to gym to get fit.

In my opinion, the gym is useful when you need to get fit, moreover if it rains, you can do some exercises  without getting wet. In addition,  you can get fit in all parts of your body with its machines and some elements . Furthermore,  a lot of people are obsessed  with their body  and take some pills and others drugs to look stronger than others.

In conclusion,the gym is good when you need to get fit,  but  it can be bad / it can have a negative effect when you  are obsessed with your body and you take pills to look pretty.

GOING TO THE GYM

Gyms, Sport and Health

The number of people who go to the gym  increased during the 90s, but nowadays the tendency is to give it up replacing it by doing  no sport.

First of all I think we should know what a gym is. A gym is an urban indoor place where you can do some sport exercises. But why did people start to fill gyms in the 90s? That's because these people wanted to get thinner in order to be more attractive in current society. But we should realise that a healthy body is not given by a gym, but by health... and in part we can get healthy practising sport, but not only with sport, we should carry out a balanced diet, sleep well and not getting stressed by work or everyday's lifestyle. Moreover, I think sports that make you feel closer to nature are more healthy to our mind... I mean sports like running, cycling, swimming, hiking, sailing... Furthermore, these sports are highly recommended by cardiologists, nutritionists...

In conclusion, I think that the thing what we really should take into account is our health, because without it, we can't do anything. And this is what we should say to somebody who leaves a gym saying "because I haven't improved my figure": avoiding sport and, consequently, a healthy lifestyle, the thing you're not improving is your life quality.

GET FIT AT THE GYM

Nowadays a lot of people enjoy going to the gym to exercise their body in their spare time. But why has this activity increased lately?

Nowadays our jobs don't require physical strength. Our activities have become sedentary, we don’t need to keep fit to develop our routine work. The other way round, our work doesn’t keep us fit either. This may be one of the reasons why we’re going to the gym, we simply want to get or keep fit.

Going to the gym is also a great way to relax in our free time, there are several activities to do. Furthermore, exercise gives us pleasure and a great satisfaction. We may want to go to the gym because of an esthetic reason, to look fit and great, or because of a health reason, it’s always good to do some exercise and keep the body active.

Another reason for gym’s popularity may be it’s simplicity: most sports need time to be practiced fluently, some of them may need years to get the basics. This doesn’t happen in gyms where most of the exercises are easy to understand and not very difficult to do, also most of the machines and several devices can be adjusted to our capacities and level. The great variety of exercises may also be interesting for clients, when you get tired of exercising a certain part of your body you can do another exercise and simply exercise another muscle or articulation.

Personally, I don’t go to the gym, I prefer to do some sport such as tennis or simply do a few exercises at home: you don’t need a gym to keep fit. Anyway, of course, a gym is an excellent way to maintain our body in shape, it helps a lot to exercise parts of your body which you may not be able to exercise at home. I may some day go to a gym if I get enough free time, studies require a lot of time.

Why do you think people like going to the gym? What about you?

Nowadays, a lot of teenagers and some adults prefer going to the gym to going running or doing another aerobic sport.

Most teenagers want to have a slim and strong body in order to be proud of themselves. Due to this, they join up in gyms, because this activity is the easiest and fastest solution. Probably they don’t like doing exercise, but as they notice the results of their work in the machines, they become lovers of the bodybuilder’s lifestyle. In my opinion, gyms can be a good alternative in order to do exercise but, however, they aren’t enough. Personally, I think we should improve all of our capacities: flexibility, strength, velocity/speed and resistance, without abusing none of them.

In conclusion, we should have a healthy lifestyle doing sport and exercising the whole body. We needn’t be bodybuilders or professional athletes; we should only enjoy doing sport and take care of our health.

Why do you think people like going to the gym? What about you? Explain.

Nowadays a lot of people go to the gym in order to get fit because in our days physical appearance is more important than some years before. But sometimes you can hurt yourself in the gym if you don’t do it well.

In the past, people went to the gym to do  exercise, to keep fit or because they liked  it. But now physical appearance is more important and people prefer to do intensive sport in a short period of time and they think that it is enough to  lose some weight. However, experts say that it is much better to do moderate sport but for a long period of time. What’s more, not only gyms can help you to get fit and be healthy, in my opinion it is  much better to do other sports like walking, jogging, tennis, or whatever instead of going to the gym.

In conclusion, I think that being healthy is important, very important, but not to be good looking. Doing sport is important for oneself and because a healthy person is happier.

GYMS

GYMS

Nowadays, people  are conscious of the importance of being  healthy. Many people play some sport and eat  healthy food.

The gym is a place where you can find many machines to do some sport like a track to run, or a lot of bikes in a class or you have many machines to do exercise alone without a teacher. (different machines such as tracks and bikes with which you can workout on your own.)

The gym is a way of doing exercise in an hour. Many people don't have time to play a sport because that sport takes them two or three hours. However, they want to do exercise and with the gym you only need an hour or a hour and a half . Furthermore, in a gym you have teachers and they can help you or teach you if you don't know how do something.

People think that exercise is important to have a good appearance and to be healthy. People know that a healthy diet is important too. Moreover, in the gym you can find some relaxing classes if you are very stressed  and in a gym you can find lots of classes with different levels too.

In my case, this year I've stopped practising kayak because I need at least three hours to practise this sport and I don't have enough time. Now, I usually go jogging and if I have time I go to the gym or go swimming.

WHY DO YOU THINK PEOPLE LIKE GOING TO THE GYM? WHAT ABOUT YOU?

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

Nowadays when we watch TV, we realise that many of the advertisments are about products that make you lose weight, make up, fashion and many other things like that. We can find publicity that shows us how to wear something and it shows you the perfect model. So many people change their opinion and they think they have to be as the models they see on TV.

Currently physical appearance has become very important in many people's lives and many of them change their body because they want the same body as many famouse/ famous people. For example many teenagers believe that their physical appearance is more important than studying and when it becomes an obsesion they've got a serious problem.

It's important because you have to look as a professional if you want have a job. But many people think they have to have the same lips as Angelina Jolie or the same body as Jennyfer Lopez and they become copies and many times there are people addicted to products that can change their appearance for example botox.

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

Nowadays, there are lots of new mental diseases such as bulimia, and they are caused by the importance some people give to their physical appearance and their weigh. The worst thing in relation with this is that a lot of people need long treatments to get well, otherwise they can die.

Television has got an important effect on people's thoughts and ideas because in every single advertisement you see, there are very good-looking people, slim and gorgeous. This kind of ads can make people think they are too fat or ugly. If people think they need to bee pretty and skinny to be successful in life, they (specially women) will buy all kind of make up and have operations so as to have a beautiful figure. Although using a bit of make up is not so bad, thinking that without it nobody would like them is very sad and wrong.

In my opinion, nobody needs to be beautiful to be loved or have a happy life. Moreover, from my point of view, the most important thing about a person is his or her personality, and that's what will enable anybody to have a good life.

Physical appearance

Nowadays too much importance is given to physical appearance, lots of people think physical appearance is more important than any other thing.

In my opinion physical appearance isn't the most important thing when you are looking for a partner. First of all, I think everyone should find out what's that persons personality  like. Furthermore, another important thing is to discover if that person is nice or not to you, or if you both have the same interests. What's more, giving too much importance to physical appearance can be a serious problem, because you only  know how that person is physically; when you do get to know, it is too late.

In conclusion, don't give too much importance to the physical appearance of someone, know him o her first, and then, if you are sure that person is nice to you then go on.

Nowadays, the most important thing for a lot of jobs is the appearance. It's more probably get a job if you are pretty or if you have a good figure.

 There are lots of people how think that is more important be slim than be healthy. Perhaps, the think this because every day in the TV or in some magazine the watch women wiht a perfect body and the don't know that te pictures are only pictures and always it has been used with some computer programme to have the perfect body.

I think that the most important thing is to be healthy and happy. However, the appearance isn't the most important thing because one person can be dress with good clothes but that person can be a bad person or that person can be horrible. For this reason, I think that every body should be right with people and don't see only in the appearance and we shouldn't be obssesiouly wiht our physical appearance and e worried with the important things, like our healthy our happiness and our family and friends.
