  1. What should we do to stay motivated to exercise?

    • We can stay motivated to exercise by a simple daily routine and doing it with our family or friends. Also, we can choose an activities that we enjoy. And, we can do different kinds of activities that encourage us as well.

      • In addition to what you wrote, I can add that listening to uplifting music and focusing on the good results of doing exercise regularly could boost one’s motivation to keep on doing that. However, we should note that listening to music at a high volume on headphones and for a long time could result in some hearing loss.

    • That’s, in fact, such a very good question, which is asked by many people lacking enough motivation to continue doing physical exercise.

  2. I think exercise is one of the most important activities and we should do it regularly . If we exercise regularly, we’ll be healthy and won’t get tired. We can keep our bodies healthy with exercise, too.

    • As you correctly stated, regularity and consistency in doing physical exercise are of utmost importance.

  3. Why do many people know exercise is good for them but still avoid doing it?

    • Many people know exercise is good for them, but they still avoid it because they are busy, feel tired, or lack motivation. Some people also think exercise is difficult or don’t enjoy it. Creating a simple daily routine and choosing an activity they like can make exercising easier and more enjoyable.

      • I totally agree on your statement. Exercise should not be equal to torture. Instead, you must enjoy doing that. Otherwise, you might lose interest in this useful activity. When you practice exercise as one of your daily routines, it’ll become one of your hardened habits; and when it becomes a habit, you’ll automatically exercise without much pressure.

    • I think : Because some of them don’t want to exercise and they prefer closing their eyes and taking a nap.

      • Unfortunately, developing a sedentary lifestyle without sufficient physical activity has become one of the major issues in today’s life. That is why the rate of obesity and diabetes is increasing dramatically.

    • Some people are ready to make any excuse to avoid physical exercise because they are lazy or lack motivation.

  4. I think the biggest benefit of physical exercise is improving my mind. Regular exercise helps reduce stress, improves my mood, and increases my focus and energy. When I feel mentally healthy, it is easier to take care of my body and handle daily challenges.

    • You’re making a very good point. That is because body and mind are interconnected. when you happen to have a healthy and robust body, then your mind functions well, as a consequence.

  5. Hi Doctor.
    I have a question:
    What is the difference between( weigh) and ( weight) as verb?

    • Hi.
      Weigh is always a verb and it means to have a particular weight (noun).
      However, weight is both a noun and a verb. The central function of ‘weight’ is noun, though. Examples:
      * How much do you weigh? (verb)
      * The average weight of babies at birth is around 3 kilograms. (noun)
      ‘Weight’ can be used as a verb, too, which is really uncommon and it only appears as a phrasal verb, e.g. weight down, which means to twist or distort something to make it more suitable.
