I do exercise regularly everyday, simple stretching stuffs. It really help me get in shape. Exercising is one of the most important parts in my daily routine. I think everybody should come up with their own way of exercise not to get any stress from it.

Yes, everyday I go either jogging or running for an hour. And I do this ‘cause I really like to be fit and healthy. And it’s not hard for me ‘cause it became a habit, and the same time, I know it’s so useful and it’s the right thing for everybody to do.


I’m not a fitness expert to say what the best way to become fit is, but I think I won’t be wrong if I said that watching out what kind of food you eat and doing exercise, no matter what kind of excercise, are the right way to take to be in form. :)

I love exercise. Most often i do that 6 days a week to achieve the healthier mind and body. However i was bored, gloomy and not efficient when i skipped it. No target date for the exercise goal because the end is still the same, trying to be more healthy all the time

I go swmming twice a week and I try to go for a walk whenever possible. But it is something I´m still trying to take a liking to. I´d swum for 5 years then I took a break and saw my cholesterol soar so I went back to it. Though I´m not all that keen to exercise I do know it´s very important to keep myself both fit and healthy. I have a reason to not give it up but I imagine how hard it is having to stay fit or health and not like it.

I like to exercise because I know exactly why I do it. I see my goals and they are very important for me. I know that if I will exercise regularly it wll be useful for me. My body won’t have excess weight and it means that I can be active and energetic.
Certainly, to exercise regularly is a very big effort because to start to exercise is a rather easy but to continue to exercise and make yourself to keep your exercises is a not simple task. So, there are not a lot of people who have such strong will and exercise every day.
Nevertheless, I try to be a such person. I suppose that in that not simple question you can help variety. For example, you begin to exercise an aerobic, but in a six month you feel that you can’t make yourself to continue that exercises. In that case I begin to work out a different exercises. For example, it can be yoga, shaping, jogging etc. So, if you will be do so, you are never tired from exercises and never stop do it.

I practice exercises everyday of week in a gym has 6 months, and on weekend I go rest. I’m getting in shape but I don’t taked it like a obsession . It takes a lot of discipline and willpower. I can say the self-discipline and willpower is very rewarding in the future like are being for me now.

taauiza yes a killer and an assasin is the same thing so your confusion is right but it can also be used to describe extremely good things (exagerating of course) for example: Damm! those chicken nuggets had a killer sauce! in this example the sauce was very good, excellent, impressive; or “awesome”. but it is slag so personally I dont use it
