Getting fit在英语中指的是为了让体质更好，生活方式更加健康而所做的锻炼。为了保持好身材，人们通常会去健身房进行锻炼。在那里，他们会做各式各样的运动，例如俯卧撑、仰卧起坐等。做做伸展运动也十分重要，这些运动应该是在你去健身房前或后进行。

At they gym, you'll fid lots of equipment such as weight lifting machines, exercise bikes, ellipticals, and treadmills.
在健身房，你会看到许多器材，例如举重机、健身脚踏车、椭圆机和跑步机。

The important thing to remember when getting fit is that you need to be consistent. In other words, you'll need to go to the gym on a regular basis. Maybe three or four times a week. It's a good idea to do a wide range of exercises rather than focus on just one such as weight lifting. For example, do fifteen minutes of stretching and aerobics, combined with a half hour of bike riding and another fifteen minutes of weight lifting on two days of the week. On the other two, play some basketball, go jogging and use the elliptical. Varying your routine will help keep you coming back, as well as help keep your whole body fit.
在健身的时候，你要记住重要的一点，就是持之以恒。也就是说，你要定期地去健身房锻炼。也许一周三到四次。比起只做一项运动，例如举重，尝试多种多样的运动是一个不错的选择。例如，每周抽出两天时间，做15分钟的伸展运动和健美操，再配合半个小时脚踏车，加上15分钟的举重。剩下的两天可以打打篮球、慢跑和做做椭圆机锻炼。丰富自己的计划可以使你坚持下来，对你保持身体健康也有益。
