My Reactions:
From computer games to iPhones, there are cool new tech applications you can use to get in shape.

This article is mainly talking about the novelist way with some fancy gadgets to keep people in shape. Apart from the traditional pedometer, which simply tallies how many steps the runner took, the newest ones combine computer technology to become more efficient and interesting. For example, stationary –bicycle manufacture Expresso Fitness has caused a great sensation because its bikes are more than a bike. They are equipped with television screens that allow users to challenge themselves on different digital terrains or even chase the dragon through the sky.
There are plenty of digital machines it mentioned; however, I am more interested in the adjective the writer used in this article. Instead of putting emphasis on pursuing becoming slender and slender, she keeps using some neutral words like physical, keeping fit, which let me feel more motivated to use these machines to make myself as fit as a fiddle.
After seeing the movie”Spray”, I found something is much more important than slim figure-being yourselves! The girl in the movie is a little bit heavy, but undoubtedly she is the happiest person in the world because she acts so naturally to do the dancing which is her favorite activity. Besides, one of the main protagonists in the blockbuster movie”Sex and the City”, Samantha, finally accept her aging body and no more bondage to love and perfect figure, which means she doesn’t have to restrain herself from eating delicious food.
From my point of view, it is ironic to resist something you really want to eat or finally dig into the food but with guiltiness. What’s worse, in order to get rid of the extra fat, some people would abuse themselves by using cruel means. Thanks to the advanced modern technology, people today are able to work out along with play around. (about 300 words)
