(Mike and Amanda are talking about yoga.)
Mike: What're you doing up so early, Amanda? Have you decided to take up jogging in the park like me?
Amanda: No, Mike. You know I really can't stand jogging. I've joined a yoga class at our local fitness center. I hear it's a great way to stay fit. Want to join me?
Mike: No way! Yoga is for girls. I'd rather do some weights or cardio at the gym than contort my body into painful postures.
Amanda: Come on, there's more to yoga than that! It's perfect for physical and spiritual well-being. It also helps your body become more flexible.
Mike: No, thanks－I think all of this is just a moneymaking gimmick. I'm telling you Amanda, don't buy into it!
Amanda: Mike, we just learn three new postures every day and do some meditation. My yoga guru is going to teach us about breathing today. Did you know that we don't even breathe properly anymore?
Mike: Count me out! I don't need anyone to tell me how to breathe! Just because celebrities are doing yoga, everyone's jumping on the bandwagon.
Amanda: That's not true! You're always reluctant to try something new. Give it a chance－you might enjoy it.
Mike: Okay, but only if you promise I'll end up with a body like Matthew McConaughey!
