Hello everyone, how was the week at work? Are you looking forward to the weekend?

For  our everyday English, let’s learn or review two health/diet/exercise related expressions:

Couch potato  A lazy person or someone who likes to spend a lot of time sitting on a couch.

  A:  Morinosuke just watches TV and eats snacks all day!

  B: He is a real couch potato, isn't he?

Fit as a Fiddle   A fiddle is another word for a violin. If you’re “fit as a fiddle”, you’re in very good   health and in good shape.

  A: I had a health check up yesterday, the doctor said I’m as fit as a fiddle!

  B: Good to hear that, Kaito. Your hard work at the gym is paying off.

 Stay in shape everyone.
