- Hello, this is Jack from tofluency.com
related to working out and exercising.
Now we use the word workout very often,
especially in American English.
And this just means to exercise,
especially if you go to a gym.
is going to show you a woman called Emily,
and she is working out in lots of different ways.
And I think this is really useful because,
use words and phrases related to this,
and doing the things that I'm explaining.
So you're going to learn words and phrases like
to stretch, foam rollers, okay?
High intensity, rowing, skipping, etc.
And all of this is going to help your knowledge
Now I recommend that you turn on subtitles,
I have added them to this video.
And also go to the description,
because I'll leave the best words and phrases,
so that you can just get a little bit more practice.
Let's go, Emily decides to walk to the gym,
even though you can see it's a little bit wet and dump.
There are lots of puddles on the ground.
because, she's going to pass the docks,
and also walking with a heavy backpack,
means that you're going to feel warmed up
I wish I could walk more where I live,
but for Emily, this is important,
because it gives her more exercise,
she ties her hair back using a hair tie,
she doesn't have hair in her face
Now these foam rollers have become more popular
I use it, especially on my back like Emily is doing now.
So it's a way for you to roll out your back,
and just feel more loose and more flexible.
It can be quite painful though.
As you can see, she is grimacing,
which means that she's making that face
to suggest that it's quite painful
when she rolls, especially in those areas.
After foam rolling, it's now time to stretch.
to stretch out her hip flexes.
And she's doing this by leaning forward.
Now I usually do this stretch after playing soccer.
Some fitness trainers say don't stretch before exercising,
So she is exercising her hip flexes here,
And now she is stretching her inner thighs,
Now I can't do anything close to this,
because I am not flexible enough, nowhere near.
After stretching, it's time to get on the rowing machine.
So she's going to use her back muscles,
her arm muscles, her legs as well,
in order to do this rowing motion.
especially if you go at a high intensity.
But it seems like she is going at a lower intensity,
that she wants to focus on later.
Let me know in the comments section below.
or in British English, just skipping.
especially as she is doing those double jumps.
And you can see slow motion here,
and then jumping up over the rope.
and it's something that takes practice to master.
I sometimes skip at home in my workouts,
she's jumping really high over the rope.
She then goes to the exercise bike
and adjusts the seat before sitting down on it.
So, she's making the seat a little bit lower
And now it seems like the real fun begins.
Now this type of exercise bike is common in CrossFit gyms,
and it seems like she is going to do a CrossFit workout.
So you can see she's really pumping her legs and her arms,
and really cycling intensely here,
so that she can get really good cardio exercise,
I personally prefer low intensity cycling,
but you can see from the workout,
she's going to be doing high intensity training.
After doing various minutes on this machine,
she gets off feeling very tired.
So she's already done a lot of work,
and then starts doing burpees.
So this is where you lower yourself to the ground,
push up, and then jump up into the air.
And after doing this, she is exhausted.
Maybe she pushed herself too hard, too soon,
because she looks like she's already finished
So she takes some time on the floor, breathing heavily,
and starts to get ready for what's coming next.
Now can you guess what exercise she's going to do next?
She looks up at the bar, she's focused,
jumps up, grabs hold of the bar,
and then she starts doing kipping pull-ups.
So this is a type of pull-up motion,
where you gain momentum by using your body in this way.
So the momentum is helping her do more pull-ups,
but she's still having to pull herself up,
in order to complete the exercise.
So now she is in the strength training part of her workout.
She's currently wrapping her hands,
because she's about to lift some heavy weights,
and she needs these raps on her hands,
With this exercise, you can see weights on a bar.
This is called the barbell snatch.
What you just saw was her warmup set.
And now she's going to try and break
And she puts extra weight on the bar.
Now, she's never lifted this much weight before.
gets ready, brings the bar towards her,
lifts it over her head and stands up.
and throws the bar back to the ground.
Now this doesn't happen a lot at gyms,
but she actually puts her weights back,
which is what people should do,
after you use a bar and weights,
you need to put that equipment back.
she then moves on to explosive movements.
The first one is medicine ball squat throws,
and then she moves on to box jumps.
So she's using her legs here and exploding up,
jumping on the box, twisting around,
This one takes a lot of effort and explosive power.
And to complete her workout, she goes for a jog.
it's more of a high intensity run,
because she's not all out sprinting,
at 100%, but you can see she's going quite fast here.
So I imagine that sometimes she's going
And this again is very high intensity.
It takes a lot of energy to do this,
and it really feels like you've had a good workout,
after completing these sprints.
