Jessica: Kate, how do you normally spend your evenings?

Kate: I've joined the gym here, so I go and exercise and go for a swim.

Jessica: Swim. How long do you stay each time?

Kate: About 2 hours.

Jessica: Wow. So what do you do during those two hours.

Kate: So we go to the gym for about an hour and then have a swim for half an hour and then sauna for about ten minutes and then finish off with a massage.

Jessica: Really, a massaging chair?

Kate: A massaging chair!

Jessica: Wonderful, and so who do you go with?

Kate: I go with Nicola.

Jessica: And Nicola is?

Kate: She's another teacher and she's who I live with, so.

Jessica: Alright, good, good, good, good. Now when you're in the gym, do you do weights? Do you do cardio? Aerobics? Running? Walking?

Kate: We do everything really. Aerobics and weights.

Jessica: Aerobics and weights are the best.

Kate: The gyms here are much better than back home.

Jessica: Oh, yeah. What's the biggest difference?

Kate: They have games on the machines so if you're cycling, you're also playing a game where you have to blow up the other cyclists so it makes it a bit more interesting than just exercising.

Jessica: Uh-huh! So it passes the time by. Yeah, lot quicker. And then why are you exercising? Do you have a certain reason, a goal in mind?

Kate: Yeah, because I put on a lot of weight when I was in Australia because I was eating too much pizza and, good breakfast, and drinking far too much beer.

Jessica: So you just want to shed those extra pounds.

Kate: Yeah, that I put on and get back to the original weight that I was.

Jessica: Well, good luck to you.

Kate: Thank you.
