So while we're waiting for politicians to do what's the right thing and to make healthy choices, easy choices from a financial point of view, from an infrastructure point of view, from an environmental point of view, Melody, how do you build exercise and physical activity into our into your life incidentally? How can we do that? And we're all given we're all time.
Yeah, I think there's a lot of concept we need to clarify before thinking about building and physical activity into our lifestyle. So, you know, for one thing, we need to understand that it doesn't have to be intentional exercise. It doesn't have to be that I have to leave work at this time to drive to the gym and workout for an hour. It could be something incidental that you, you are doing physical activity which could be for any purposes, without purposely exercising. So things even like you know taking the train instead of driving.

Printed "investment", the speaker says "financial"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "from a financial point of view". They start with different letters, so listen to the first letter.

Printed "convergences", the speaker says "concept"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "a lot of concept we". Both words start with c, so wait for the whole word before you decide.

Printed "grateful", the speaker says "intentional"

Explanation: The speaker says "have to be intentional exercise", not "grateful". The spoken word is much longer than the printed one.

Printed "instant", the speaker says "incidental"

Explanation: Listen for "something incidental that". Both words start with i, so listen to the end of the word to tell them apart.

Printed "dragging", the speaker says "driving"

Explanation: You will hear "instead of driving". They start the same and end with the same two letters. Focus on the middle.

"Melody" matches the audio
