Fitting in fitness.
Do you find excuses not to exercise?    1    .Here are a few ways to get you going.
        Do what you love.

The easiest way to fall into the habit of doing exercise is to choose an activity you enjoy — one that doesn’t feel like exercise, even though it is.    2    . If you play to your strengths, you’ll find fitness activities you can enjoy for years.

Choose your hour.

Studies have shown that people who work out in the morning are most likely to stick with a routine. By doing exercise before the day starts, they can avoid the last-minute scheduling conflicts. But if you’ re not a morning person, choose whatever time works best for you.    3    

Call it by another name.

    4    If it’s something you have to do anyway — like washing the car or planting some bushes in the yard — you’ll achieve two goals at once.

Partner up.

Exercise is more fun when you do it with others.    5    On days when your motivation is low, you’ re more likely to stick with the programme to avoid disappointing your exercise partners. You can also train with an expert. A personal trainer will help you set goals, design a personalized fitness programme, and vary your routine to keep it challenging.

A．Ask yourself: what am I good at?

B．Make fitness part of your social routine.

C．For example, you can join a running, walking, hiking, biking or tennis club.

D．If you’re in top form from noon to 1 pm, aim for a lunchtime workout.

E．Would you rather do anything else — even sort your socks or clean the fridge?

F．If a damp T-shirt is not your idea of a good time, try gentler forms of exercise.

G．Substitute some challenging household activity for the standard exercise routine.

2 . Training for a marathon (马拉松) requires careful preparation and steady, gradual increases in the length of the runs.     1    , buy the best-fitting running shoes you can find. No one can say which brand will work best for you or feel best on your feet, so you have to rely on your experience and on the feel of each pair as you shop. When you have found shoes that seem right, walk in them for a few days to double-check the fit.     2    . As always, you should stretch (伸展) at least ten minutes before each run to prevent injuries.

During the first week, do not think about distance, but run five minutes longer each day.     3    , it is wise to take a day off to rest. But during the next week, set a goal of at least a mile and a half per run.     4    . After two weeks, start timing yourself.     5    . Depending on the kind of race you plan to enter, you can set up a timetable for the remaining weeks before the race.

A．After six days

B．For a good marathon runner

C．Before you begin your training

D．With each day, increase the distance by a half mile

E．If they still feel good, you can begin running in them

F．Time spent for preparation raises the quality of training

G．Now you are ready to figure out a goal of improving distance and time
