Can you just float around all the time? That sounds so fun!小刚: Yes, you can really float in space, but astronauts can’t just play all the time. They have to exercise every day.小宝: Why? Isn’t space very relaxing?小刚: Because in space there’s no gravity, people’s bones and muscles slowly get weaker. They need exercise to stay strong.小宝: How do they exercise? Can they run in space?小刚: Yes! In the Chinese space station there’s a treadmill, equipment like a bicycle, and machines with resistance bands. Astronauts use them every day.小宝: Wow, so there’s a gym in space! When I grow up, I want to exercise in space too!
