Common challenges: Do vs go vs play with sports is the recurring trap — do yoga, go swimming, play football. Collocations: get into shape (not make), lose weight (not take off), stay fit (not keep). False friends in fitness: German Fitness means general physical condition; English fitness means cardiovascular and muscular health more specifically. Diet in English can mean both food intake (a balanced diet) and weight-loss programme (she’s on a diet).
For: Adult and teenage learners (14+) at CEFR B1, in intermediate classes, 1:1 lessons, or self-study. Health-and-fitness vocabulary is core to Cambridge B1 Preliminary (PET) and B2 First (FCE) Speaking and Writing.
