Jessica: Kate, how do you normally 1 spend your evenings?
 
Kate: I've joined the gym here, so I go and exercise and go for a swim.
 
Jessica: Swim. How long do you stay each time?
 
Kate: About 2 hours.
 
Jessica: Wow. So what do you do during those two hours.
 
Kate: So we go to the gym for about an hour and then have a swim for half an hour and then sauna for about ten minutes and then finish off with a massage 2.
 
Jessica: Really, a massaging 3 chair?
 
Kate: A massaging chair!
 
Jessica: Wonderful, and so who do you go with?
 
Kate: I go with Nicola.
 
Jessica: And Nicola is?
 
Kate: She's another teacher and she's who I live with, so.
 
Jessica: Alright, good, good, good, good. Now when you're in the gym, do you do weights? Do you do cardio? Aerobics 4? Running? Walking?
 
Kate: We do everything really. Aerobics and weights.
 
Jessica: Aerobics and weights are the best.
 
Kate: The gyms here are much better than back home.
 
Jessica: Oh, yeah. What's the biggest difference?
 
Kate: They have games on the machines so if you're cycling, you're also playing a game where you have to blow up the other cyclists so it makes it a bit more interesting than just exercising.
 
Jessica: Uh-huh! So it passes the time by. Yeah, lot quicker. And then why are you exercising? Do you have a certain reason, a goal in mind?
 
Kate: Yeah, because I put on a lot of weight when I was in Australia because I was eating too much pizza and, good breakfast, and drinking far too much beer.
 
Jessica: So you just want to shed 5 those extra pounds.
 
Kate: Yeah, that I put on and get back to the original weight that I was.
 
Jessica: Well, good luck to you.
 
Kate: Thank you.

massaging chair
 
We finish our time in the gym with a massage on the massaging chair.
 
A 'massaging chair' is a one that gives you a back massage while you sit in it. Notice the following:
 
There is a massaging chair in the lounge 6 at the gym.
Sitting in the massaging chair for 30 minutes every day really helps my back.
do weights
 
When you're in the gym, do you do weights?
 
In this case 'do weights' is the same as lift weights.  When you lift weights you raise a heavy object many times to increase your strength. Notice the following:
 
I never have the patience to do weights.
He does weight five times a week.
blow up
 
We play a game where you have to blow up the other cyclists.
 
If you 'blow something up' you make it explode. Notice the following:

The car blew up after the accident.
goal in mind
 
Do you have a certain reason or a goal in mind for exercising?
 
To have a 'goal in mind' is to have an idea of what you want to achieve. Notice the following:
 
Before you make a fitness 7 plan you have to have a goal in mind.
Did you have a goal in mind when you started this whole thing.
shed pounds
 
I have to shed those extra pounds I put on when I was in Australia.
 
'Shed pounds' is an informal 8 way to say lose weight or to get rid of new extra weight. Notice the following:

She worked hard to shed some pounds after she had her baby.
