2 . After having a child, I found my regular exercise interrupted. Not only was I busy, but I also lacked the motivation and ambition. Solo gym sessions or some quick ___ following the DVD while the baby slept didn’t ___ me at all. So I decided to sign up for a hiking trip in Peru, hoping that it would get me ___ again.

Looking over my travel arrangements before I left, I___ phrases such as “3-hour hike ___ primitive forests” and “sliding with a rope down waterfalls”, and I started to feel a little worried.

However, as we made our way through the forests and were ___ with amazing views of awesome waterfalls, this team of strangers ___ me to go on. Being physically active with a group motivated me to reach the ___ or the valley below—rather than simply lying down on the forest floor and giving up, ___ I might have done if I were alone.

Experts prove my experience:Group exercise can really start a new attitude toward fitness. “People get a better ____ in a group than they do on their own,” said Allison Kimmel, a group ____ instructor. That’s because other people ____ both support and competition. “Humans are ____ animals and the shared experience of facing a challenge ____ is compelling(令人信服的),” said David Ezell, CEO of fitness provider Darien Wellness.

With the ____ of a group, I’m slowly getting back into a healthier lifestyle.
