★Dialogue★
D: We’ve had a fun, but very long winter vacation, right? And we spent most of it at home.
Today was my first day back at work this year, but I had a tough time getting back into the rhythm of things.
M: Really? You must be tired from work today then.
D: I’m ok. I know I’ll be fine next week.
M: I hope so.
D: During the break, we had ozoni every day. It’s a soup, which is one of my favorite traditional Japanese New Year’s dishes.
M: Ya, I love the rice cake that’s in ozoni, so I ate a lot of it.
D: We always put a lot of vegetables in it, too, so I think it’s healthy for you.
M: Ya, but I’m sure I gained weight during this New Year holiday, so I worked out today.
D: Oh, that’s right. You said last time that you had a friend who was a personal trainer. You went to her gym today, did you?
M: Uh huh. It was fun, but exhausting at the same time.
D: Was it hard?
M: For me, yes. Because I don’t usually work out.
D: That’s true.
M: I have sore muscles.
D: Oh, are you all right?
M: Ya, I’m ok.
It’s just that I need to hold a handrail now when I take the stairs.
D: That’s funny. (Laugh)
M: Hey, don’t laugh at me.
I’m fit now, and you’re not.
D: Alright. Alright.
I’ve never had a personal trainer, so tell me what you learned from her today.
M: Sure.
M: This is her gym. Her name is Atsuko.
D: Wow, it’s a really nice workout space.
M: Totally..
I told her that I ate a lot over the holiday, so I wanted to lose weight.
D: Then, what did she recommend for you to do?
M: Weight training.
D: Oh, that makes sense.
M: But she used a lot of English words in her training, so I enjoyed learning a lot of training words.
D: Cool. I ‘m good with muscle names as I studied that in the past, but I don’t really know exercise vocabulary. Tell me about what you did.
M: Alright. I’ll show you some videos I took today.
D: Awesome.
M: First, she taught me how to do a Wide Stance Squat.
You need to have a wider stance when squatting.
D: That must be really hard, but I’m sure that would help build up your larger muscles in your legs such as glutes, quads, and hamstrings.
M: Yep, that’s why I have most of my muscle pain in my legs right now.
D: No doubt. But when your muscle mass increases, your metabolism also increases, which leads to burning fat.
M: Wow, that’s exactly what Atsuko told me. You’re so knowledgeable.
D: Thanks. I liked my anatomy and physiology classes.
It’s very interesting to know the structure and function of the human body.
M: I admire you.
M: Next, she taught me how to train my major muscles in my back.
It’s called a Lat Pulldown.
D: Cool. Oh, she is setting up the training bench in the video.
I wonder what she’s going to do.
M: She also hung the maximum advantage grip on top.
D: Oh, so you grab that?
M: Yes, you grab both ends. Look at what she’s going to do.
D: Oh, she’s pulling it down.
I think she’s working out her lats which are very large muscles in the back.
M: Oh, that’s why the workout is called a “Lat Pulldown”. I get it now.
She said this routine is good for people on a diet because it has the effect of raising the body’s metabolism.
D: Yes, building large muscles definitely helps raise the metabolism.
M: The next workout is a Shoulder Press.
D: Oh, the training bench became a chair.
M: Yep, she needs to lean against the back of the chair for this workout.
She said this is a workout for the front muscles in the shoulders.
D: Oh, the front delts. Those muscles are used when you raise your arms forward. Since they are front-facing muscles, working them out could improve your physical appearance.
M: You’re amazing, David.
M: The next one is a Lateral Raise.
This was really tough, too.
D: Yeah, I can tell.
M: She told me that this workout is for the muscles used when you extend your arms to the sides.
D: Oh, this must be a workout for the side delts that are located next to the front delts.
M: I see.
M: The next one is a Hip Thrust.
D: She is using a barbell.
M: Yes. I heard that this workout was popular, especially for women.
D: This workout especially focuses on the glutes which are the major muscles in your buttocks.
M: Good to know. Thanks.
