Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions
Most people know that a balanced diet and regular exercise are very important. However, most people do not
know how to exercise properly. Exercising the right way is important for people who are worried about their health
and their appearance. However, if someone is not working out properly, it is rare that he or she will see the results
he or she wants. If you want to achieve the best workout results, here are a few helpful tips to bear in mind.
One of the most common workout mistakes is doing the same routine over and over again. This does not
challenge your muscles, and it can actually prevent muscles from growing and repairing themselves. Instead of
always sticking to the same old workout, it is important to change your routine every six to eight weeks. It is also
important to add a variety of workouts to your routine, such as swimming, yoga, or biking, to make sure your whole
body stays fit.
 Another mistake people tend to make is to work out too hard, too often. Your body needs to rest between
workouts; otherwise, no progress will be made. It is best to keep the number of hard workout routines to no more
than two per week. Then, for those who don’t want to get off schedule by skipping a day, shorter workouts of about
twenty minutes can be used on other days. For more variety In workouts, you could also plan an easier routine for
forty to sixty minutes between days of shorter, more intense workouts. Experts recommend, however, taking at least
one day off completely each week, especially after several hard workout days in a row. If you want to make a
difference in your overall health, there are some things you can do. Stretch before and after every workout. Do not
rush your routine, and do not work out too little or too much.
