Question

Name: Grace Age: 91	I studied skiing in my forties. On a skiing trip, I broke a rib（肋骨）.As the years passed, I developed bad backache. I could not breathe well. I tried an exercise program. For six weeks, I exercised three times a week, two to three hours a day. I did weight（重量）training, bike and breathing exercise. Finally my breathing improved and the backache disappeared. Exercise played an important role in my improvement.

My present exercise includes bod strength（力量）work using weight machines（15-20 minutes every day）,two miles on a running machine（25-30 minutes every day）and five miles on a bike（20-25 minutes every day）.
