Exercise

Recently, I've been thinking about a certain issue I have. That is a healthy life style.

I know I have to exercise to keep in shape. I understand I need to do this for a healthy life. But, the problem is .... I don't like exercising. Perhaps I'm extremely lazy. My life is rather sedentary.

I get a medical checkup every year because I want to live longer. If there is something wrong with my body, a doctor will find it through the checkup and take care of it at an early stage.

But to prevent from having such circumstances, I should exercise.

In a movie I came across the other day, a doctor said we don't need to push ourselves too hard to exercise, such as long jogging and working out in a gym. All we need to do is to get out of the house or office, and do something fun, like enjoying the view while walking in a park, or to dance along with your favorite music while cooking dinner. He said don't take it seriously.

I think that is a good idea. I love walking alongside the sea near my house. I like riding a bicycle.

Let's see what happens to me in the next few weeks!

"doing exercise" is more like "I am doing this particular exercise now" or "I am doing exercises one through ten in the book".  Its more focused on the individual exercises or used in the sense of 練習.  "getting exercise" is more about physical exercise in general, like "I need to get more exercise".  "I'm getting some exercise today"  Otherwise, you can just say "I'm exercising"  "I like exercising".

What the doctor suggests is getting out of "the house or office" because its a general suggestion about the concept of getting out of the house or office, so "the".

Anyway, its very good!
