Part A Reading aloud 

Exercise. I know I should. But I don't particularly enjoy it, and I never seem to make much progress. So I wanted to find out whatI should be doing, how much and why. I have been meeting scientists who arechanging our view of exercise. They discovered that we all respond to exercisein very different ways. And I’ve looked at some extraordinary new research,which suggests we can get many of the health benefits of exercise from justthree minutes a week. And research is also showing us how, without breaking asweat, we can all live healthier and longer lives. (60")
