'Hello, my name's Vernon Marchewski and I'm going to tell you about the best ways to improve your fitness.
If you're interested in being an athlete, or just doing sport for fun, this advice is for you. I think the most important thing is to choose a workout that you enjoy. Don't cycle if you don't like cycling. You need to do something that will motivate you, so avoid activities that are too hard for you, or boring.
To make your workout more fun and challenging, do it a bit differently each time. Try a new activity, or vary how long you spend doing something, and how difficult you make it.
Another great way to motivate yourself is to make sure you have goals. For example, if you run 5 km a day, try to increase it to 6. But be careful, don't overtrain. This can lead to injury, and your body needs to rest as well as work hard.
Look after yourself, remember to eat good food and drink lots of water. A healthy diet is the best way to a healthy body.
Finally, only use proper equipment. If you cycle, have your bicycle cheeked and repaired regularly. Only wear good running shoes, and invest in comfortable clothing.'
