听力原文：W: Exercise, exercise, exercise... we hear so much about it these days that even

the experts can't agree on which exercises are best. Now some doctors are strongly encouraging arm exercises.

M: Arm exercises？ I've never heard of that. Is that because our arms are too fat or flabby？

W: Actually, that's not the main reason. They say that arm exercises are an ideal way to become physically fit,

M: But don't arm exercises raise your blood pressure？ Seems ... I've read an article about that before. So, that's risky.

W: Not really. That they do, but the article I read mentioned several ways that can compensate for that.

M: Really？ How？

W: By adding leg exercise the arms don't do all the work. Arm exercises alone aren't enough to increase metabolism before fatigue sets in. The more of a body that involves in the exercises the better.

M: And in turn, I'm sure that there is a great chance of losing weight, right？

W: Sounds right to me.

M: So, what exercises do the experts recommend？

W: They mentioned quite a few. But some of the more popular ones are cycling with special bicycles that make you use both your arms and legs, and walking vigorously while wearing arms weights.

M: Sounds great. I must try that. You know, I like to walk a lot.
