Going To The Gym

Hey there, you look a little lost. Are you new here?

嘿，你看上去有点迷茫。是新来的吧？

Yeah how’d you know?

是啊，你怎么知道的？

You can always spot the newbies. I can give you a few pointers if you want. Were you trying to use this machine here?

新手一眼就能看出来。要不要我给你点建议？你刚才是不是想用这台机器？

Yeah! I just started my training today and I’m not really sure where to begin.

对啊！我今天刚开始训练，还真不知道从哪下手。

It’s ok, I know how it is. This machine here will work out your upper body, mainly your triceps and biceps. Are you looking to develop strength or muscle tone and definition?

没事，我懂。这台机器主要练上肢，特别是肱三头肌和肱二头肌。你是想增肌还是塑形？

Well, I don’t want to be ripped like you! I just want a good physique with weights and cardio.

嗯，我不想练成你那样一身肌肉！我就是想通过举铁和有氧运动保持好身材。

In that case you want to work with less weight. You can start off by working ten to fifteen reps in four sets. Five kilo weights should be enough. Now it’s very important that you stretch before pumping iron or you might pull a muscle.

那你就得用小重量了。每组十到十五次，做四组。五公斤的哑铃应该够了。记住，举铁之前一定要拉伸，不然容易拉伤肌肉。

Got it! Wow is that the weight you are lifting? My goodness that’s a lot of weight!

明白了！哇，那是你举的重量吗？天哪，这也太重了！

It’s not that much. Just watch... I’m ok...

还好啦。你看……我没事……
