I was getting fat．I work in an office and go there by car．I have good food，but I don’t do enough exercise…that’s how I get fat．My wife and I decided I had to do something about it．I don’t have much time for exercise because life is very busy．There are not many sports which you can play at home either．Table tennis would be fine，but we don’t have room large enough．Then I heard of a book of exercises for people like me．There are 5 different exercises．This is what you have to do．
1)Stand with your legs 15 centimeters apart．Point your arms above your head．Bend down to touch the ground between your feet．Reach up again and so on．(2 minutes)
2)Lie on your back，flat on the ground with your arms at your sides，sit up．Lie down again and so on．(1 minute)
3)Lie on your front．Join your hands behind your back．Lift your legs and shoulders as far off the ground as possible．(1 minute)
4)Lie on your front．Lift your body off the ground so that your arms are straight．Only your hands and toes touch the ground．(1 minute)
5)Running on the spot．Lift your feet 10 centimeters off the ground．(5 minutes)
Each of the exercises is done as many times as possible．The exercises get more difficult stage by stage．For women they are different. If you don’t get much exercise，you’ll enjoy them．
Ge Garden is very beautiful and peaceful．The ticket has a map on the back of it that I didn't noticed until I had already left．But to be honest, I don't think that map is very useful because it isn't very clear and detailed．In my opinion, it's better to improve it．Compared with Ge Garden, the map on the back of the ticket for He Garden is much clearer, more detailed and more useful．However, in the room that has the picture of the family members, there is only Chinese, no English, so my advice is to add English in interesting places．I got lost in the Slender West Lake．I spent about 30 minutes just trying to get out of one area．I think they need more signs posted along the trails．I like the Slender West Lake best, as she is so pretty! The ladies that were sweeping were very sweet．They always smiled at me and said hello, so it was nice．
Taking a taxi is the most efficient(有效率的)and quickest way to get around Yangzhou．I didn't have a problem getting to the places which I'd like to go to while using a taxi．The driver was very friendly．The fare isn't too high, either．But I didn't enjoy taking the bus．The bus ride to the Mastixia Bay(茱萸湾公园)took long although I only had to pay one yuan．It was also hard finding where Bus 32 was．I tried asking some people in English but they couldn't understand me, so I had to ask in simple Chinese that I only know buy that still didn't work．I spent about one hour walking around the city to look for Bus 32．The tricycle(三轮车)was nice, but it was a little too expensive for a small distance．Maybe I was ripped off by the guy who rode for me, but it was an enjoyable ride．I felt like I was part of the garden city more．
Over all I am satisfied with Yangzhou and will recommend it to others．
