I would be lying if I said I love exercise!
Mentiría si dijera que me encanta hacer ejercicio.

I know that exercise is very important in keeping both the mind and body healthy.
Sé que el ejercicio es muy importante para mantener la mente y el cuerpo sanos.

However, despite that I find it very difficult to motivate myself!
Sin embargo, a pesar de ello, me resulta muy difícil motivarme.

I also lack focus, which makes exercise difficult.
También me falta concentración, lo que dificulta el ejercicio.

My friends tell me not to make excuses, and that I should just get on and get it done.
Mis amigos me dicen que no ponga excusas y que me ponga manos a la obra.

In the past I would go swimming regularly and I really enjoyed the feeling afterwards.
Antes iba a nadar con regularidad y disfrutaba mucho de la sensación posterior.

I would feel so relaxed and good about myself!
Me sentía muy relajada y a gusto conmigo misma.

My partner goes running twice a week in the forest.
Mi pareja corre dos veces a la semana por el bosque.

He also finds it difficult to motivate himself but he goes anyway, and I am really proud of him for that.
A él también le cuesta motivarse, pero va de todos modos y estoy muy orgullosa de él.

My friend runs exercise classes in the local gym.
Mi amiga da clases de gimnasia en el gimnasio local.

She leads spinning classes, yoga classes, Pilates and HIIT classes.
Dirige clases de spinning, yoga, pilates y HIIT.

I liked the HIIT classes because the sessions were short.

HIIT stands for High Intensity Interval Training and it’s a great cardio workout.
HIIT son las siglas de High Intensity Interval Training (entrenamiento en intervalos de alta intensidad) y es un gran ejercicio cardiovascular.

To be honest, my favorite exercise is getting outside and going for big walks.
Para ser sincera, mi ejercicio favorito es salir al aire libre y dar grandes paseos.

It’s particularly enjoyable when you know that there is a pub at the end of the walk.
Es especialmente agradable cuando sabes que hay un pub al final del paseo.

Five years ago my partner and I went cycling around Europe.
Hace cinco años mi pareja y yo recorrimos Europa en bicicleta.

We cycled up the Col du Puymorens in the Pyrenees.
Subimos el Col du Puymorens, en los Pirineos.

The summit is 1,915m high and it was very hard work on a bike!
La cima está a 1.915 metros de altura y fue un trabajo muy duro en bicicleta.

From the bottom, we could see a building at the top which had “cafe” written on it.
Desde abajo podíamos ver un edificio en la cima que tenía escrito "café".

However, once we got to the top we found that it was closed for the day!
Sin embargo, cuando llegamos arriba, nos dimos cuenta de que estaba cerrado por hoy.
