How I Keep Fit
We all want to be fit and healthy, and I'm no exception. First of all, I avoid eating junk food. I do my best to have a balanced diet, so I often have fish for dinner and eat fruit and vegetables every day and drink a lot of water.
I usually start my day doing morning exercises and after that I have a contrast shower. In the evening I always take an hour's walk or ride my bike. I also try to go to the swimming-pool at least once a week. As a result, I feel well and seldom fall ill.
Мы все хотим быть в хорошей форме и быть здоровыми, и я не исключение. Прежде всего, я избегаю употребления нездоровой пищи. Я стараюсь придерживаться сбалансированного питания, поэтому я часто ем рыбу на ужин, ем фрукты и овощи каждый день и пью много воды.
Я обычно начинаю свой день с утренней зарядки, а потом принимаю контрастный душ. Вечером я всегда гуляю час или катаюсь на велосипеде. Я также стараюсь ходить в бассейн хотя бы раз в неделю. В результате я чувствую себя хорошо и редко болею.
