Good morning!

After the long summer months, the autumn is like a new year for many people. They return to work and their studies; they start a new hobby. Many people go (or go back!) to the gym after their summer rest. This week we will look at some words related to gym and exercise.

Today's words are: fit (adjective) and fitness (noun)

Fit means: to be in good physical condition.

Fitness means: the condition of being healthy and in good physical condition.

Example 1:

Example 2:
