Are you ready to do some exercise?
Hello, my name is an English

Workout gear that's because I'm ready to do some physical exercise
And I thought while exercising I could teach you some basic
Exercise vocabulary the kind of vocabulary that every native knows not just the specialists
So are you ready to work of course? It's very?
Important to exercise your body as much as it's important to exercise your mind
Which is why you are learning English, and maybe some other languages, but do you take your language learning?
Seriously if the answer is yes, then there is an online language school
Which I think you should know about and that language school is called Lingo. De now lingo

Exercise now first of all why do people exercise?
well there are three phrases that I commonly hear from people who are
Exercising on a regular basis either they want to lose
weight
lose weight
This means they want to become slimmer and less heavy so they want to lose weight
Secondly perhaps they want to tone up
to tone up means to
improve your muscle definition, or
To tone up, or they might simply just want to get fit
This means they want to improve their level of fitness
Now every session of exercise which we tend to call a workout
should begin with a warm-up a warm-up comes at the beginning of your exercise session to prepare your body for
strenuous physical exercise it normally includes light
Exercise and some stretches to make sure your muscles are ready for action
And just pay attention to the pronunciation of that word
muscles
These are muscles
Talking about Muscles which muscles the most natives know about of course we have biceps triceps
pectoral Muscles, which we tend to shorten to pecs
We have abdominal muscles which again we shortened to abs
We have gluteus maximus which is often shortened to simply groups we have thighs
Hamstrings and
calf
Muscles of course there are many more muscles in the body, but these are the common ones which most people know about
Let's now talk about the actual exercises
Typical strengthening exercises you'll hear about are sit ups
sit ups
Sit ups help to improve your abdominal muscles
smaller sit ups little pulsing sit-ups are called crunches if you turn yourself over to face the floor and
Press the floor away from yourself
This is called a press up typically in British English in American English
It's called a pushup, but we also use that here, too
so press up or
Push up now if you hold yourself in the press up position sometimes on your elbows
This is called a plank and this is meant to be held for at least thirty seconds if not more
You'll also hear about a pull-up where you reach to a bar above your head and pull yourself up to that bar
Pull-UPs can be done with an overarm grip or an underarm grip and they're really really easy
Especially when you do them in the same way that I do them
sometimes you'll see people lay back on the bench lifting heavy weights if
Someone is lay on their back on a bench lifting a weight above them. This is called a bench press
So you might be asked how much can you bench press?
This meet how much weight can you lift up when you lay down on a bench?
to build the strength in your legs, you could do a squat a
squat
You could also do some lunges
Lunges and to work out those triceps you might do some tricep dips
triceP dips
Some people refer to getting toned as getting shredded
So you shred your muscles until you become really really muscular looking and then when we're talking about losing weight
You might hear people using the phrase
shedding
To shed weight to shed the pounds is to get rid of the pounds of weight upon your body
So we shred her and we shared many
People in order to lose weight, we'll do what we call Cardio. This is short for a cardiovascular
Exercise and it's basically exercise that raises the heartrate that makes you sweat that gets you out of breath
And it helps you to lose weight fast and people would usually do things like running
Maybe they run with high knees. Maybe they run kicking their bottoms you might do some popping or some skipping
Some people do skipping with a rope
you could also do jumping Jacks which were also referred to as
Star jumps and one exercise which I absolutely hate is a burpee a burpees
Where you jump up into the air? Go straight down into a squat and kick out?
there are many activities which could cover your
cardiovascular exercise for example swimming or
cycling if you set up a sequence of exercises perhaps
Sit-ups here for one minute then you move to a different location and do
Running on the spot for a minute
and then a different location in the room to do press ups for one minute and then a different location to do burpees for
Example, and then you start the sequence again and do it a few times. This is called circuit training
circuit training now any cardiovascular
Type exercise that makes you breathe heavy because you need more breath this can be referred to as aerobic
exercise
aerobic
Exercise and finally lots of people will use equipment and weights when they are
Exercising now the weights that you hold in your hands are called dumbbells
Dumbbells if you use the long bar with the weights on the end that you can adjust and put different weights onto
This is called a barbell a barbell or I'm not sure that many natives will know the term for that particular type of weight
but it's called a barbell and
All good workouts should finish with a cool-down this will be a series of light exercises once again
and maybe some stretches just to finish off your
exercise Routine
Well, I hope you found that helpful now a little tip for those of you
Who are really serious about learning English one of the best things you can do is to repeat lessons?
So many of you I speak to forgets basic words which I have covered in lessons that they've already watched
But because they don't repeat the lessons they easily forget the vocabulary so perhaps some point next week
You can come and watch this video once again
And then if you watch it three or four times over a period of a month, then you're more likely to remember all the vocabulary
included in this video
I'm about to go and hit the showers because after all that exercise. I am very sweaty and
Probably a bit stinky as well
