Answer 2

Cuando era más joven, solía correr para hacer ejercicio, pero ahora prefiero hacer bici estática por muchas razones, incluyendo poder que puedo ver la televisión en español cuando hacerlo mientras la hago.

When I was younger, I used to run for exercise, but now I prefer to ride an exercise bike for many reasons, including that I am able to watch television in Spanish when I do it.

Great sentence Stadt. Funny - 0043ad50, Oct 23, 2011

I would be happier with it if I really knew what to put after incluyendo (incluyendo la capacidad de ver?)- I anticipate that I will have something to learn from the correction no matter what. - Stadt, Oct 23, 2011

Really good, Stadt. Only the last part can be improved: incluyendo que puedo ver la televisión en español mientras la hago / Entre otras, que puedo ver la televisión en español mientras la hago. Excellent! - cogumela, Oct 24, 2011

la hago / lo hago are both correct, depending on if you are refering to "la bicicleta" or "el ejercicio" - cogumela, Oct 24, 2011

Gracias, cogumela, I had considered que puedo; good reminder for cuando vs. mientras; also thank you for showing me the option of "entre otras". :-) - Stadt, Oct 24, 2011

Run, boy, run....and never look back, just run with all of your energy.

Corre, chico, corre...y no te mires nunca atrás, solamente simplemente corre con todas tus fuerzas.

jejeje. Do the hippos eat men?? :) - PrincessMariam, Oct 23, 2011

No but they cause more injuries than lions and tigers, they are quite aggresive. - MaryMcc, Oct 23, 2011

Hippos eat grass, but Hippos are very aggressive towards humans, whom they commonly attack whether in boats or on land with no apparent provocation. They are widely considered to be one of the most dangerous large animals in Africa. - Stadt, Oct 23, 2011

Wow!! :) Thanks for information, people! I had no idea about that! From now I won't make hippos angry! :D - PrincessMariam, Oct 23, 2011

Thank you, my friends, yes indeed those hippos might be dangerous.:) - migelis, Oct 23, 2011

I don't know the reason for the plural on "con todas tus fuerzas", I guess it's pretty idiomatic :) - cogumela, Oct 24, 2011

Thank you, Cogu!:) In Lithuanian we also say it in plural and I don't know why, it just sounds naturally.:) - migelis, Oct 24, 2011

I am sure you are much younger. Thanks Mary - porcupine7, Oct 23, 2011

Hey! I think you both are really young, because you feel yourselves young!! :D K - PrincessMariam, Oct 23, 2011

The English works without "already". And better without "shall". - Leatha, Oct 23, 2011
