Learn English about Exercise l Learn English about Working Out l In the Gym

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.
