Read the introduction to the manual Get back into shape and say if the following sentences are true or false.

The first step you should take towards having a beautiful body may be the hardest, but it's a must. So, if you haven't weighed yourself for a while, do it now. You have to know where you are at the start to fully appreciate the results you are going to achieve in a few weeks. Seeing the numbers drop on your scales will give you the motivation you need, week by week, to challenge yourself further. Make a promise to yourself: for any plan to be effective, you have to follow your exercise strategy and a good diet. You should keep your goals clearly in mind. However, before starting any new exercise or diet programme, you'd better have a medical check-up. Even if you don't need a diet programme, you can benefit from exercise. Everyone can benefit from it! The reward will be that you will feel healthier and more energetic. And the more you exercise, the more exercise your body will be able to handle. For a fitter body and a fabulous feeling of confidence, diet alone isn't enough – losing fat is important, but good muscle tone is what makes you look healthier.
A: 1. Before starting any exercising programme, you should weigh yourself.
B: 2. The programme gives results after a few weeks.
C: 3. Exercising should be coupled with a healthy diet.
D: 4. You should hang a picture of yourself on the wall to keep your goal clearly in mind.
E: 5. Not everybody gains advantage from doing physical exercise.
F: 6. The more you exercise, the more you feel you can exercise.
