4 . If you’ve recently joined a gym, or are just looking to try a new, different form of exercise, you might consider trying a group exercise class. Classes are a great way to workout. Here are a few tips to help you relax and prepare for your first class.

Choose the right class for you. Most gyms offer a wide range of different classes and choosing one that is right for you is the first step. To begin with, you need to think about what it is that you want to achieve and work from there.     1     If you’re looking for a more relaxing form of exercise that will improve your flexibility, then yoga might be a good option.

Think about what you might need.    2     Wear clothes that are comfortable and suitable for the type of exercise you’ll be doing. For example, yoga requires stretchy clothes that will allow you to move. Often classes don’t require anything out of the ordinary, but it doesn’t hurt to check.

Arrive early. Try to arrive at least 5 minutes early so you can get your bearings and think about the studio and any equipment you’ll be working with. Some classes such as weight-based classes require a lot of equipment which usually takes a few minutes to set-up.    3     So give yourself time.

    4     Group exercise is set up for a group of people to benefit from professional instruction not for participants to compete. While it is hard to resist trying and keeping up with the people around you, the best thing you can do is focus on your own body and what you’re feeling and able to handle. If you’re uncertain how an exercise is best carried out, ask your instructor.    5    

A．Don’t compare yourself to others.

B．Talk to the instructor before class.

C．Use the equipment to give yourself a warming-up.

D．You don’t want to be running around at the last minute.

E．Copying the person next to you might mean you’re learning incorrectly.

F．Plan for your class by thinking about what you’ll need to wear and bring with you.

G．For instance, if you’re looking to gain muscle, a weights-based class will be your best bet.

8 . Halfway through the women’s slalom event at the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia, 18-year-old Mikaela Shiffrin held a commanding lead over the greatest women’s slalom skiers in the world. On her final run, she burst from the start house at top speed, zigzagging around the poles. Suddenly, her left ski slid out, causing her to temporarily lose control. It seemed as if her dreams of a gold medal might slide down the mountain, out of her reach. But in the blink of an eye, Mikaela stopped her mini-skid and rocketed through the rest of her run. She became the youngest slalom skier ever to win an Olympic gold medal.

Skiing has always been a big part of Mikaela’s life. At two and a half years old, Mikaela made her first ski run down her steep driveway on plastic skis. From ages 8 to 11, she worked hard, repeating hundreds of training runs on small hills to learn the correct techniques. When Mikaela was 11, she enrolled at the Burke Mountain Academy, a Vermont boarding school for skiers.

According to headmaster Kirk Dwyer, “What separated Mikaela from others was the degree of her commitment to be the best. Mikaela practiced more than anyone and believed in herself then and now.” At age 14, Mikaela began her international career when she raced in the world championships for 13-and 14-year-olds. And she won! By the time she was 17, she had already won her first World Cup race.

For Mikaela, working hard is a full-time job. In the summer, when Mikaela is off the ski slopes and in the gym, her daily training consists of six to seven hours of weightlifting, core body work, and biking to improve her strength and agility.

“If you’re passionate about your goals, whatever they are,” she says, “there’s no limit to what you can achieve. Give it your all!”
