CONCLUSION (ACTION STEP)In this section, clearly explain what you want the audience to do.
(Summary):In summary today, I have shared with you some statistics’ that Americans aren’t getting the recommended amount of aerobic exercise. I have also shared with you how to start slowly to get up and get moving, for those who aren’t already. Lastly, I have shared my own experience of why I exercise and Maya’s getting in shape video.
(Challenge):My challenge to everyone is to get up and does some type of aerobic exercise, and if you exercise now, challenge yourself to do more this even includes myself.
III.(Memorable Closing Statement):“Get down and give me fifty.” that is a phrase we have heard plenty of movies, and even personal trainers. However, how hard is to really give fifty? For many of us, it is or has been a tough process. To be able to give fifty is not what really matters, what really matters is being able to give your 100%, if it means that you can only do 10, well, 10 is great. Do not fall for other people’s standards, if you are giving your all, that is what matters, but do not fool yourself think that you reached your limit, as the real limits are those we set ourselves.
IV.(Thank Audience):Thank you for your attention. Does anyone have any questions?
