Are we too obsessed with fitness??

Personally, I don't think we have become too obsessed with fitness.Nowadays, people often lead sedentary life,they work in offices and don't have many chances to move.This is the reason why some people pay a lot of attention to stay fit and exercise a lot.I think it's a beneficial attitude towards life.Being "obsessed with fitness" helps us to stay in a good shape.Moreover, I don't know many people who would exaggerate.Sometimes it's the girls who always want to be slimmer but generally there are not many people like that ( at least I don't know them).In fact people pay a lot of attention to the amount of calories they consume but I don't consider it an obsession.A lot of products are unhealthy, contain too much fat or sugar.We are forced to check the ingredients in products we buy.In today's world we have to think about what we eat and about exercising.Some time ago sweets were rare and the diet was healthier.The obesity wasn't a problem.Nowadays, we have to look after ourselves and I don't perceive it as something negative that people try to be fit and healthy.It goes without saying,that common sense is irreplaceable and we should have everything under control.All the things in life should be balanced.The real obsession may cause anorexia and bulimia - dangerous, life threatening diseases of XXI century.
To sum up, in my opinion we are not too obsessed with fitness excluding some extreme cases.Moreover,these days we should be concerned about our health and body condition, because it's sometimes hard to lead a healthy life style.People always prefer to live comfortably and it's usually not beneficial for our health.

different ways of spending free time

From different activities, which were mentioned in our English book, for me the best sounds a meal in a posh restaurant.I enjoy good food and eating gives me a  big pleasure.Personally I think it's one of the best things in life.It's a very hedonistic attitude towards life but still there aren't many things better than good food.Moreover, it's a meal in a posh restaurant so probably it would be delicious and the atmosphere would also be nice.I guess I would really appreciate such a meal.We don't often have a chance to eat in a restaurant because it's expensive and takes much more time than eating at home.On the other hand, you don't have to cook and you have everything served, what is a nice change,too.
The second thing I would choose would be a day on a hot sunny beach.First of all, I love sun, summer and holidays.All together gives me a great mood and makes me feel wonderful.It' s very relaxing to lie on a beach, on a towel or on a blanket,you can go swimming or play beach volleyball with friends.You can read books and magazines.Generally speaking - you do what you want and get a suntan at the same time.These lazy holiday days on a beach are the ones of my favorite days in a year.
The last thing I would choose is a competitive sporting activity.I don't like to compete with anybody.I've never liked races or any other kinds of competitions.I am ambitious and I strive to be the best as I can but I don't have a need to prove that or show.I work for myself and my satisfaction.However, I really like playing team games like volleyball or basketball and different sports but I don't perceive them as competitive sporting activities but great fun.What I understand through competitive activity is a race or other activities which show who is better.I used to swim and I have never liked swimming competitions because they were very stressful for me.
