HEALTH, DIET, AN EXERCISE

avoiding all fatty foods and sweets. Harry finds it difficult to exercise because he's very busy. He works until

7:00 almost every night and often works on weekends. He knows he has to lose weight and be more active,

but he's always tired. He likes to watch TV, but watching TV for an hour only burn 71 calories. An hour of golf

burns 322 calories, so he tries to play on Saturdays and Sundays. Today he's riding a bike for an hour, and he's

burning around 500 calories. He's hoping to lose a lot of weight in the next six months. It takes work, but he's

trying very hard to get in shape.
