Thank you for this video. It's helpful to me so much. However, a phrasal verb: "Get away with doing" still confused me. Can you explain what does it mean? Thank you so much

[@lenamiss84]

The vocabulary from this video BBC 6 minute English "Exercise for the Lazy": - Resolution (n) - a promise you make to yourself to do something positive in the coming year. Exp: He made a resolution to give up chocolate last year, however, he failed. - Structured exercise (n) - activities like going to the fitness center or swimming. - Treadmill (n) - any type of repeated work that is boring and makes you feel tired and seems to have no positive effect and no end. Exp: the office treadmill. Not as hard as a treadmill. - Push yourself (v) - to try harder or put more effort into what you're doing, to use a lot of effort and determination to achieve something. Exp: You'll never be successful if you don't push yourself. - Easy wins (n) - tasks that are both easy to accomplish and bring benefits. - Sedentary (adj) - involving much sitting and little exercise or physical activities. Exp: a sedentary job like a driver. - Bang for your buck (idiom) - To get more bang for your buck, means, to get better results for the same amount of effort you put in. Thanks for your video. Have a good day!

[@IcaroMN]

I was myself a sedentary person for a long time. So I think I know this theme very well. If I could recommend something for people who have a bad time with exercising it would be slope walking on a treadmill or dedicating some minutes in the rowing machine. It is like cardio for those who don’t like cardio exercises

‘Bye for now’ is also unknown to me. After studying with your programme, I started trying not to ignore any word. Especially this video, ‘Exercise for the Lazy” is stunnig in that the real speed by the cnatives and the intendedly slow speed by the professionals in BBC, Neil and Sam make me stand by the reality. Much much harder to follow Zoe’s intonation. Thanks a lot.

[@yuk4818]

From China, 6 minute English is an awesome programming for English learners. I want to say a Chinese idiom "相见恨晚" which means feeling sad meeting something good after a long time. It's a good listening material, also you can speak following it to improve your spoken English. My resolution of new year is to improve my spoken and listening English, because I will want to Paris to take part in a competition as respondent. Also in this year, I face to CET-6 and TOFEL examination. All of these are important, that' really a key year. In the interview in Tsinghua university or Peking university they prefer testing you in English, and then if you want to go abroad, either US, UK, JP etc. All universities need good English ability, I have poor English since I was a kid and can't get away from it. In new years, my best wishes and the most great resolution is to improve my English largely. Love 6 minute English. Best wishes.

There are many exercises for lazy people like me. Everyone deserves the best health to have, doesn't they? Sp we should do some sports activity. There are many types of sports activity, it helps to chill out sometimes. When you're stressed out it's a good decision to do exercises. You improve yourself at first. And secondly you get happier a lot. Thanks BBC

I do not exercise often. This is bad for my health, so I decided to move my body more.

[@irenefang246]

My summary while listening A lof of people have made resolutions such as doing more exercises on their daily basis but most of them fail to do so. The today’s topic is discussing about how to do the least amount of exercise to achieve health goals. According to Dr. Zoe Saynor - a sports physiologist, if we don’t have much time to execise, we could try to work out in shorter sessions with higher intensity. One effective way to work out for office workers is that they could travel more actively by walking faster. Even though they’re unable to achieve 10,000-step goal daily, it would be beneficial for them when walking 5000 steps with faster speed.

[@hanhwendy5156]

One of my resolutions every year is to take up reading books and exercise like Mr. Neil. But like him, i am too serendary to get my ass off until one day when i was too disappointed with my life, i thought i needed to trade off getting out of comfort zone with living a dream life. Though my living area didn't have much space for exercising, i tried my best to get bang for my buck. That's how i changed my life. What about you?

[@bestkoorahd6939]

I recommend you to exercise at least 20 minutes a day no matter what kinda sport any activity is good for your health but according to reading books, it isn't essential you can listening audiobooks and you can do it

Despite knowing the outcome of exercise we procrastinate. We do not push ourselves toward arduous or cumbersome exercises. Sometimes easy win exercises seem difficult to us. we prefer lying on our bed to going out and walking for a while.

Please write down the new vocabulary, i could Not Unserstand

[@bbclearningenglish]

Here are the vocabulary items for this episode: New Year’s resolution a promise that you make to yourself to improve your lifestyle by starting to do something good for you (or stop doing something bad) in the coming year push yourself increase the amount of effort you put into whatever activity you are doing; try harder trade-off a situation where you accept the disadvantages of something in order to get the benefits it brings sedentary involving little exercise or physical activity easy win a task that is both easy to accomplish and brings positive results (more) bang for your buck a better result for the same amount of effort you put into something

[@lopezaguilar28]

In the question you make at the begining: What is the least amount of exercise someone can get away with doing while still staying healthy? What does get away with mean? I know get away with something means to do something wrong and not get a punishment about it, to get your way in other words but in this question i can't get the meaning

[@bbclearningenglish]

Hey there! The sentence means 'what is the minimum you can do to still be healthy?'. 'Get away with' here means 'achieve something, but not in the best way or putting in too much effort'. We hope this helps.
