Exercise

Actual Transcription:
I often exercise in the morning before I go to school, and my routine often changes
from day to day. I usually go to a health club and swim twice a week. On the other
days, I sometimes lift weights or go jogging. On the weekends, I often go hiking in
the mountains near my home with my dog. I think that getting some exercise helps
me stay fit, and it helps me burn off stress from the week. It's also a good way to
lose weight and stay trim.
