EnglishPod.com - Going To The Gym | Elementary | Текст песни

M: Hello English learners! Welcome back to EnglishPod! My name isMarco.
C: And my name is Catherine and today I think we're hitting the gym, Marco.
E: We need to be healthy. We've gained weight over the winter I think.
C: I think so and being in office, you know, it doesn't give you much opportunity to go and
exercise and really get a lot of work...
M: Exactly, so...
C: Done throughout the day.
M: That's why we're going to the gym on this occasion.
C: Uhu.
M: We're gonna be pumping some iron; we're gonna be working out, so why don't we take
a look at "vocabulary preview" and see what this means?
Voice: Vocabulary preview.
M: Alright, so, to pump iron, what does that mean?
C: Alright, well, to pumping iron means lifting weights.
M: Okay, so we're pumping iron - we're lifting weights.
C: Cause, you know, weights are made of iron.
M: Right.
C: So it makes them so heavy.
M: Hehe. Alright, so we're pumping iron, good. And, well, we're gonna be giving you guys
some pointers.
C: Pointers.
M: Right.
C: Alright, so you might have heard the word point before. Well,pointers is another word
for tips.
M: Alright, so we're gonna be giving you some tips or advice.
C: Yep, so you're gonna get some help today from the trainer. Alright, so we're gonna jump
right into this dialogue and when we come back, we're talking more about what's going on.
DIALOGUE, FIRST TIME
M: So this guy was a little bit arrogant. I think he was very, you know, very muscular, but I
think he embarrassed himself in front of the lady.
C: The trainer you mean?
M: Yeah, yeah.
C: Yeah, yeah, definitely, so he... he... we say he had a big ego.
M: Yeah.
C: He thought a lot about himself, so... let's check out some of these phrases and words
they were using, because they're... they're all related to going to the gym and they can help
you if you ever wanna get some help when you're at the gym.
[Voice: Language takeaway.]
M: So this girl, she was new in the gym; she didn't really know what she was doing and,
well, the guy said, well, "Do you wanna developstrength or muscle tone?"
C: Alright, we know what strength is, but what is muscle tone?
M: Okay, so if you want to develop muscle tone or to have muscle tone, it means that you
have healthy muscles. Not like huge big muscles, right?
C: Uhu.
M: But you have, uh, a nice body.
C: Right, so tone, to tone is to maybe make... give some shape to something.
M: Uhu.
C: It's, you know, sometimes you have big arms and they're not really... you can't see the
muscles...
M: Uhu.
C: While muscle tome means that you can start to see the shape and they start to get
stronger, alright?
M: Uuh.
C: So if you think of Madonna maybe five years ago, she had a lot of muscle tone. Now
she's like r-r-r.
M: Yeah, I know...
C: Big muscles.
M: Now she's strong.
C: But muscle tone means that you can see the muscles; they start to develop, uhu.
M: Okay, and this actually is very related to our next word, because he said muscle
tone and definition.
C: Right, so definition is another way for us to describe, um, seeing those muscles. Because
at first you have big tummy or you have big arms. And when you start to work out, every
time you go, you can see more and more definition. That means more and more the muscle
becomes visible.
M: Alright, so you have defined muscles. Alright, good! Now the girlwas like "No, no, I don't want to be like super strong and huge", right?

C: She doesn't wanna look like Arnold Schwarzenegger.
M: Yeah, exactly.
C: Uhu.
M: She said "I just want a good physique".
C: Alright, this word maybe sounds strange for some of you, because it's, uh...
M: Kind of sounds French to me.
C: I
