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.
