Vanessa: Welcome to the Health Freaks Show. Denise is here with us today to tell us a few things about yoga and its benefits. Nick you might wanna listen carefully if you really wanna get rid of those back pains of yours. Denise?
Denise: Hi, everyone. Well, Nick, yoga could be the answer to your problems. Yoga experts claim they can help people with back problems.
Nick: Hmm… can they? Cause I’m not fit at all, you know …The bottom line is that my job is quite sedentary and … I guess, you think I’m trying to justify myself but.. OK. I have to be honest. I can’t really remember the last time I went to the gym to work out.
Denise: I get the picture Nick! It’s kinda ironic, though. I mean, you’re the co-presenter of a health show, after all…
Nick: Right! Anyway, can people like me take up yoga? Denise: They most certainly can.., and, the sooner the better. You see yoga isn’t just a better treatment for back pain it’s THE treatment!
Nick: So yoga can actually lessen the pain?
