No, wait, I knew you guys were gonna blame me for everything.
9
That's why I came here with a plan.
10
Ho, this is gonna be good.
11
Okay, you guys ready?
12
The plan is.. to walk 10,000 steps a day for only 30 days.
13
That way we don't only clean the liver but we start with a healthier season which is kind of long overdue.
14
What do you guys think?
15
I think that sounds ridiculous.

Man that sounds great!
17
I think it could work!

In the morning, tomorrow.

This is way too easy, brother!
30
Very easy indeed, boss!
31
This is going better than I expected!
32
Let's turn up the rhythm a bit and turn on the autopilot.
33
Now I got 90 minutes to think about anything else.
34
Activating Random Thought.
35
Why is it a holiday on Labor Day?

39
I'm feeling it too, it's too much, right?

I cramped!
43
Huh?
44

45
Muscle cramp, baby.
46
Too much rhythm.
47
I've been telling y'all we need to drink more water.
48
Oh man, we were doing so good!
49
No worries everyone, this is just the first day!
50
Tomorrow we reach 10,000 steps for sure.
51
Your brain seems like today is the day.
52
We're doing great, heart!
53
It was worth it to drink two liters of water this morning.
54
Yo, I'm sorry to interrupt your little moment there, but I'm feeling a bit full here and I think I need to empty now!
55
Ah, Bladder, why did you say so before we left the house?
56
Because back then I didn't have to go, but now I do and it's urgent!
57
Oh man, there's no bathroom here, we're gonna have to go in the field.
58
Too late!
59
I did it.
60
Couldn't hold it anymore.
61
What?
62
Glider!
63
No worries, tomorrow is another day.
64
Guys, we just broke our previous record of 5,000 steps.
65
Woohoo!
66
Today we make it!
67
Brain, I don't trust this weather.
68
Something about the atmospheric pressure is not right.
69
Whoa, whoa, whoa, that knee is right.
70
We better hurry up if we don't want to get...
71
Wet.
72
Ah, what a bummer.
73
Hey, not a bummer.
74
This is very good for the plant.
75
Tomorrow is another day.
76
Yo brain, gotta tell you something you're not gonna like very much.
77
Oh my god, you two intestines.
78
I got the coffee from this morning jumping and pushing everything here, so unless we find the bathroom soon, we're really gonna need new pants, brother.
79
But we only got one pair of pants, bro.
80
Alright, there's no choice.
81
We gotta go home.
82
Just pray that I can hold it until we get home, bro.
83
Tomorrow is another day.
84
Bye.
85

89
But what about poor Liver?
90
How am I gonna tell him we didn't succeed?
91
Hey!
92

94
Wait a second, you're not fatty anymore!
95
Yeah!
96
I was gonna tell you!
97
Apparently all that 10,000 steps is pure marketing!
98
Any extra amount of steps a day is really good for your health, and not only mine!
99
I feel a lot more dense, bro!
100
I feel stronger and more elastic!
101
You see, we got healthier, we lost a lot of weight and lowered the blood pressure.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
