#Person1#: Hi, Laura. Where are you heading with that big bag?
#Person2#: I'm off to the gym. I've got to stay in shape, you know.
#Person1#: I know more women who exercise than men. What's the main reason you do that? For your health, or to look good?
#Person2#: To be honest, for both. With women, good looks are always a very important consideration.
#Person1#: I see.
#Person2#: How about you? Do you get any regular exercise?
#Person1#: I do a lot of walking for exercise and enjoyment-sometimes ten to twenty kilometers at a time. But I never go to the gym like you do.
#Person2#: Well, walking is a good exercise. How about sports?
#Person1#: Not since my school days. I used to love playing baseball, but it's impossible to get enough people together for a game now. Mostly I just watch sports on TV
#Person2#: I play tennis fairly regularly with my friends and sometimes go swimming and cycling by myself.
#Person1#: Oh, I forgot about that. I go cycling sometimes too. And I often go swimming on vacation, but only recreational swimming.
#Person2#: Why don't you join me at the gym sometime?
#Person1#: Well, maybe someday, but I'm pretty lazy about things like that.
