exercise you think will fit your lifestyle. Read about the exercise. Do the ratings for the

3. Write about the exercises/sports you researched. Compare each type of exercise and
explain which one is probably best for you. Use superlative adjectives in your sentences.
Example:
I am looking for exercise with the lowest injury potential. Swimming is the best overall
exercise for me. It has the highest cardio rating of the three exercises I looked at.
However, swimming doesn't do much for my flexibility. Tai Chi is the best exercise for
flexibility and it is also the most relaxing . . .
