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.
