SECTION 2 
You will hear the manager of a fitness centre giving information about the centre to 
some new customers. 
Hello everyone, and welcome to the "Fit for Life" Health Centre — a place which, 
as the name suggests, is not just for short-term solutions, but rather, intends to put 
you on a sensible and achievable looting for the rest of your life. And that's how 
we’re different. For example, we could immediately put you on a harsh exercise 
program, expeeling you to work out every day, but such a plan would see you 
quickly lose interest. That’s why the initial step is a one-and-a-half-
hour consultation, in which your lifestyle, current situation, and long-term goals, are 
all thoroughly analysed. 
Now, an important part of this consultation involves analysing what you eat. There's 
no point exercising here, and losing weight, then pulling it all back on, later. You 
will need to show self-control and discipline in your diet, and we'll work on that. 
Similarly, we’ll put you on an exercise regime suitable for your level of fitness, so 
that will involve a test, where we will take you through some activities, then measure 
your heart rate and blood pressure to determine how fit you are. This will be 
monitored during every subsequent consultation, along with your exercise schedule, 
and that occurs monthly, and not half-yearly, as with many other centres. 
As to our actual exercise machines and programs, you will have to decide whether 
it is muscle mass, stamina, or general fitness, that you want to develop. Think about 
which of these three you want to target, and we'll design a specific program for you 
-- but remember, bulging muscles aren’t necessarily suitable for everyone. 
Sometimes it's better to think in terms of two simple concepts: muscle definition and 
stamina; or, if you are female, being fit and healthy, in both mind and body. 
Now, if you’re going to work out at this gym. you’ll need to think about 
your reasons for exercising, so let's consider that in more detail. Muscle mass is 
certainly popular with the guys, probably seeking, to impress the girls, and with
