C: In a week, well I probably do about two or three hours of exercise, maybe more. I go to the gym once or twice, if I have time, and I sometimes go swimming.

E: Oh my goodness. Well, I suppose. I don’t walk very much actually. I … um … I drive, the car everywhere. That’s terrible, isn’t it? Um. Yes, I probably only walk about, about maybe five minutes every day.
