오늘 입트영 홀릭 모임 진행합니다 !
[RESPONSE]Talk about how you typically spend your weekends.
These days, my weekends are mostly filled with rest and relaxation. In the past, I used to be more outgoing and active. I relished activities in the great outdoors, and I had a can-do attitude toward sports. But as I get on in years, I'm starting to buy the argument that my laziar friends like to pitch. Now I understand why they prefer being couch potatoes. The gist of the matter is that I'm too tuckered out after a week's work to be so gung-ho about recreation. I just want to wind down and relax. Maybe this just means I'm no longer a spring chicken.
[EXTRA TOPICS]
1. What are some popular weekend actives you engage in?
2. Do you prefer to rest or be active on weekends?
3. How do you feel when you have to work on weekends?

[Response] What do you do to control your weight?
When it comes to keeping your weight in check, I think it's important to understand what works for you. For me, calorie counting is counterproductive. It always backfires.
So, I make sure that my diet is nutritious and balanced. However, this means that I have
to work out consistently as well. I go to a Pilates studio because it does wonders for
my figure. I like to mix it up when it comes to cardio in order to keep things interesting.
I know cross-fit is popular these days, but i'm not a fan. I try not obsess about the numbers on the scale because muscle weighs more than fat.
[Extra Topics]

2. Do you think it's important to work to work out regularly? Why or why not?
3. Try to come up with a realistic plan to get is shape.
