Questions & Answers about Я стараюсь двигаться каждый день: бегаю, гуляю и делаю зарядку.

Why is я used here? In English we often drop I after saying it once, but in Russian the subject is often omitted. Could we omit я?

In Russian, you can omit я here:

• Стараюсь двигаться каждый день: бегаю, гуляю и делаю зарядку.

Because the verb ending (-юсь) already shows that the subject is я, the sentence is still clear.

So why include я at all?

• It adds a bit of emphasis: Я стараюсь... = I make an effort…
• It sounds very natural at the start of a statement about yourself.

Both versions are grammatically correct. Including я is slightly more explicit and personal; omitting it is a bit more casual and compact.

What is the difference between стараюсь and пытаюсь? In English both feel like I try.
