A B2-level ESL lesson on Health and Fitness Vocabulary
Students build essential vocabulary related to wellness, exercise, and nutrition through a variety of engaging and practical tasks. This B2 health fitness vocabulary lesson features a warm-up discussion on workout preferences, guided vocabulary gap-fills with contextual definitions, and pair speaking activities. Learners use key terms like regimen, endurance, nutrition, and metabolism in meaningful conversations, role-play as fitness coaches, and share personal health tips. Perfect for vocabulary development and encouraging real-life communication about healthy lifestyles.
Warmer: Ranking Fitness Activities
The class begins with students ranking popular fitness activities, such as running, yoga, swimming, or weightlifting, from most to least favorite. This is a great way to introduce the theme while engaging students in a light, personal conversation. Let them justify their rankings and compare with partners to see who shares the same workout vibes.
Vocabulary: Talking About Health and Fitness
In the main section of the lesson, students read fitness advice from a coach. Their task is to fill in gaps using vocabulary supported by helpful definitions. This time, the key words include: regimen, wellness, workout, endurance, nutrition, and metabolism.
These words are not only useful for discussing fitness, but they also show up in real-world health articles, podcasts, and lifestyle blogs. After completing the reading task, students go on to use the same words in a second context-based activity to reinforce their understanding.
Speaking: Personalise the Language
The bite-sized approach means students quickly move from learning to speaking. In this lesson, students answer personalized questions using the target vocabulary. By encouraging them to speak about their own routines, the words stick much more naturally.
- What is your current workout regimen?
- How do you ensure good nutrition?
- What do you do to build your endurance?
Role-Play: Be a Fitness Coach
One of the most engaging activities in the lesson is a simple but effective role-play. Students take turns being a fitness coach and a client, using the new vocabulary to give practical health advice. This pushes them to speak fluently while thinking creatively and using target language actively.
Group Speaking: One Health Tip
To finish the lesson, students share one health tip they currently follow or want to try out. It could be something small like drinking more water, or something bold like trying a vegan month.
