Exercise plans

2:41

Actually, I went running last weekend.

2:41

It was a really sunny day and it felt great.

2:45

So, Georgie, do you have any plans to go for a run

2:50

or maybe do yoga this weekend?

2:54

Not this weekend, but next weekend,

2:57

I have plans to go running with my friends.

2:59

Oh, wow! Do you talk and run at the same time?

3:03

Absolutely not!

3:05

Good, because that's like extra exercise.

3:08

That is too difficult, Neil. I can't run and talk to my friends!

3:14

OK, Neil. So, we know that you go running and you like cricket.

3:19

But are there any new sports that you'd like to try?

3:23

Well, Georgie, you do yoga.

3:26

I'd like to take up yoga.

3:29

Erm, but I have tried it in the past and it was just too boring.

3:36

Yoga is not boring. It's wonderful!

3:40

Neil, could you explain the verb 'take up' that you just used?

3:45

Yeah, we 'take up' something,

3:49

it means that we 'try something for the first time',

3:52

a new hobby or a new habit, I suppose.

3:57

So, you can take up a sport or take up learning a new instrument.

4:03

Mm-hm. I'd like to take up painting, I think.
