Hello students. Let's learn English about the gym and working out. Today I decided to come to a gym
to give you a lesson about gym vocabulary and working out phrases. Make sure to subscribe to
our channel, like this video, and share this video with your friends. Let's get started. First, we're
going to start with some vocabulary. The first vocabulary word is jacked. When someone is jacked,
it means they are very big and muscular. This is often used to refer to men who are very muscular.
My friend works out a lot: he's jacked. The next term is shredded. Shredded is similar to jacked,
but it means that you are not so big. Still muscular but a bit lean. The next phrase I want
to introduce is: fitness junkie. If someone is a fitness junkie. it means that they work out a lot.
They go to the gym a lot. So for example, my sister works out five days a week. She's a real fitness
junkie. Now, let's have a look at some vocabulary that's a little more negative to refer to working
out. You can be out of shape. Someone who is out of shape, maybe doesn't work out very often. You could
say that someone has a dad bod. Bod is short for body. So you're saying they have a
dad body. Dad bod: someone who has a dad bod maybe has a little extra weight around their waist.
This usually refers to men who are a little older, maybe in their 40s or 50s.
The next term is spare tire and love handles. If you say someone has a spare tire,
it means, again like a dad bod, that they have a little extra weight around their waist.
The same for love handles. Love handles usually refer to the side part of your body having a
little extra weight. When we first arrive at the gym, we come into the gym and we may change into
our workout clothes. And then we need to do what's called a warm-up. What is a warm-up? A
warm-up is just some light stretching that you can do so that you don't injure yourself when
you're working out. Now that we're finished with our warm-up, we can start to think about
what equipment we want to use for our workout. One piece of equipment is called the treadmill.
A treadmill is just a stationary running machine. Well, I guess you could use it for walking too.
We use the treadmill to do an exercise that helps our cardio. What is cardio? Cardio is cardiovascular
refers to exercising your lungs and your heart. Another piece of equipment in the gym is a
weight rack. Usually on the weight rack are dumbbells. We can use dumbbells for numerous
exercises. One of the most popular exercises is the dumbbell curl. Oh yeah, that feels good.
Okay, another piece of equipment that you can use in the gym for your workout is called a stationary
bike. What is a stationary bike? Well, stationary means not moving. So the bike isn't moving and
then you can get on pedal the bike and get a good cardio workout. So the workout you get on this
is similar to the workout that you get on the treadmill. It is a cardio workout.
Another piece of equipment that you can find in the gym for working out is called the bench
press. The bench press exercises your chest muscles, or we can say pectoral muscles, or for
short we call them the pecs. So, my brother really likes to work out. He bench presses a lot.
He has very shredded pecs. And, another piece of equipment in the gym is called the
squat rack. The squat rack is very simple. You put it on your shoulders and you squat down.
And that's why we call it a squat rack. The next piece of equipment is called a pull down
machine. And as the name suggests, you use this machine to pull down
weight. This exercise exercises your shoulder and pectoral muscles.
Pull down bar. The next piece of equipment is something that I'm not quite sure what it does,
but let's find out. So we have a belt here. So, I guess you go in the belt. Let's see,
okay maybe you put it here. I'm not quite sure. There's a button.
So, I'm going to press the button and find out what this workout machine does.
Oh that's very interesting. Yes okay, I'm not quite sure what that does, but
it was an interesting feeling. Thanks for watching, I'll see you in the next video.
