(Answers in bold)
1. If you've had enough of seasonal excess and your resolutionstretch up high for the New Year is to look toned and trim(身材匀称苗条), get off the sofa and take some exercise. Regardless of your level of fitness, my two ten-minute workouts -- which target arms, stomach and legs -- are a quick and simple way to get into shape in 2007. Aim to do at least three sessions a week.
2. You have two routines to choose from, that you can do both indoors and outdoors, so, if t
he weather's really dreadful, you have no excuse not to do something. If an exercise states that you should do two sets, allow 30 seconds' recovery between each set.
3. After any exercise you should stretch the muscles you have used the most. It’s relaxing and helps to return your body temperature and heartbeat to normal, and in a controlled manner. Stretching also makes you feel more flexible and loose the next time you start your workouts.
4. When you exercise make sure that you are wearing properly fitted sportswear. Wearing sneakers that are too tight or too big will cause you all kinds of problems, including back and shin injuries. A well-fitted sports bra (胸衣，胸罩) is just as important for women.
5. Training with a friend can be much more effective in terms of the intensity of your program and your commitment to it. It’s much harder to slack off a fitness regimen on the head if you’ve got a friend waiting to pull you off the sofa to work out in the park with you. Remember to keep your body hydrated. It is more beneficial to take small sips every few minutes.
Oral Preview/Answers(in bold)
1. The recipes use mostly whole food ingredients and only occasionally a few things from cans or prepared foods.
2. The ingredients you need to prepare the breakfast include 1 ripe papaya, and it should be sliced into wedges lengthwise.
3. Running is not my thing, so I would like to know how your 10-minute workouts help me to lose weight and keep fit.
4. Each time after the exercise, you need some cool-down exercises to stretch the muscles. Take arm stretch as an example. Sitting cross-legged, raise your left arm and place you left hand between your shoulder blades as if trying to reach your bottom.

Script
      I had just turned 40, and had spent most of my adult life working as a public relations consultant with little time to cook, let alone learn how to cook. But a few years ago I made a resolution to start writing down the recipes I had grown up with and posting them to my website. I come from a big family -- six kids -- and thought what a terrific family project to document our family recipes! Both my mother and father are excellent home cooks; mom r
aises ns all, and dad
loves to eat well and enjoys the experimentation of trying out new recipes. I'm spending a lot of time with my parents lately; we cook a meal and then over dinner discuss the finer points of the proper way to prepare the dishes, and whether or not a new recipe was worth the effort.
      Many of the recipes are family recipes, and many of them are those that we pick from cookbooks, magazines, and newspaper clippings we've collected over 30 years. But sometimes it's hard when you only have a clipping. The recipes shown here use mostly whole food ingredients
and only occasionally a few things from cans or prepared foods. We believe in a varied, healthy diet, using real butter, real cream, eggs, and protein from meat, fish, and cheese.
      About me, my name is Alice Bauer and I am a partner in a consulting firm in the San Francisco Bay Area. I maintain several weblogs in addition to Simply Recipes as part of alice.
      Thanks so much for visiting Simply Recipes!
