Hěn duō rén很多人
dōu zhī dào都知道
yùn dòng运动
duì shēn tǐ对身体
yǒu hǎo chù有好处
，
dàn shì但是
jiān chí yùn dòng坚持运动
bìng bù róng yì并不容易
。
Many people know that exercise is good for the body, but keeping exercise as a habit is not easy.
Yǒu xiē rén有些人
gāng kāi shǐ刚开始
hěn yǒu rè qíng很有热情
，
měi tiān每天
dōu qù都去
jiàn shēn fáng健身房
，
kě shì可是
guò le jǐ tiān过了几天
jiù fàng qì le就放弃了
。
Some people are very enthusiastic at the beginning and go to the gym every day, but after a few days, they give up.
Qí shí其实
，
yùn dòng运动
bù yí dìng不一定
yào huā要花
hěn duō shí jiān很多时间
。
Actually, exercise does not necessarily need to take a lot of time.
Rú guǒ如果
měi tiān每天
zhǐ zǒu只走
èr shí fēn zhōng二十分钟
，
huò zhě或者
xià bān yǐ hòu下班以后
zuò yì diǎn做一点
jiǎn dān de简单的
liàn xí练习
，
yě huì也会
màn màn慢慢
kàn dào看到
biàn huà变化
。
If you walk for only twenty minutes every day, or do some simple practice after work, you will also slowly see changes.
Yùn dòng运动
bú dàn不但
néng ràng能让
shēn tǐ身体
gèng jiàn kāng更健康
，
hái néng还能
bāng zhù帮助
wǒ men我们
fàng sōng放松
xīn qíng心情
。
Exercise can not only make the body healthier, but also help us relax.
Duì wǒ lái shuō对我来说
，
zuì hǎo de最好的
yùn dòng运动
bú shì不是
zuì nán de最难的
，
ér shì而是
kě yǐ可以
cháng qī长期
jiān chí de坚持的
。
For me, the best exercise is not the most difficult one, but the one that can be kept up for a long time.
