[Opic] Physical Exercise

I put on weight more easily now that I am older.

That's why I try to work out regularly

I consided yoga and pilates. 
*pilates [플라리-즈]

However, I dont' have a fixed schedule afterwards so I was on the fence.
*on the fence = undecided 고민중 I'm still on the fence

Then, ?? someone recommended home training.

She said it's all the rage these days
*all the rage 

I searched online and found a lot of videos on youtube

There were detailed directions on workout for all levels from beginners to experts.

I found a suitable program and I played the vedio on the tv in my livingroom.

I followed along and exercised.

It was great because it didn't get boring and it saved me a lot of money

I am not a born athelete.

When I begin to learn a sport, it takes a long time.

I first began learning how to snowboard 5 years ago, I am still at it.

I think it's because I get scared easily. (get bored easily)

When I hit the slopes this winter, I think I will be on the beginners' slopes again.
*hit the slopes 스키타다

Still, it's not as hard as it was / at first.

I'm starting to get the hang of it.

I also started getting golf lesson recently.

They say learning the proper technique is the most important.

Fixing my form for months was so boring, so I thought about quitting.

However, I had already bought all the equipment, so I am still practicing.

My husband must have caught wind of how I felt and he asked me to hit the links.
*hit the links 골프치러가다 (to go golfing)


Playing golf out in the open and breathing in the fresh air felt great.
*out in the open

2) get the hang of it 감을 잡다, ~을 할 줄 알게 되다, ~을 이해하다

She helped me until I got the hang of it

3) catch wind of ~을 눈치채다, 낌새를 채다
