Rob
Welcome to 6 Minute English, the programme where we explore an interesting topic and bring you some useful items vocabulary. I’m Rob.
Neil
And I’m Neil.
Rob
Now Neil, I know you’re a keen swimmer.
Neil
I am. I try to get to the pool once a week and do a few lengths, yes.
Rob
That’s good to hear because swimming is one of the best sports for keeping fit. It’s an aerobic exercise – aerobic means a very active type of exercise that makes your heart and lungs stronger. The opposite of this is anaerobic – and for my question today Neil, I wonder if you know which of these activities is an example of anaerobic exercise?
a) weightlifting
b) kickboxing
c) dancing
Neil
I don’t have a clue but I’ll pick my favourite sport – a) weightlifting.
Rob
Is that really your favourite sport?! Anyway, we’ll find out the answer at the end of the programme.
Neil
So what about you Rob – do you visit the swimming pool very often?
Rob
Only to use the cafe! I don’t like anything aquatic – I mean connected to water. I just don’t like getting wet – and swimming up and down a pool is just boring!
Neil
Well there are alternatives to plain swimming. There’s synchronised swimming…
Rob
Synchronised – that’s moving together at the same time or speed as someone else. Like dancing in water I suppose? Hmm, I’m not a good dancer either.
