After joining the gym, it’s your turn to start exercising . First, you must know the body parts and some basic muscles .

The verb star in Spanish in the gym is the verb DO.  Look carefully:

 

HOW IS THE VERB USED IN THE GYM?

 

DO + SUBSTANTIVES (body part, muscle, activity)

 

– First I make arms, then I do quadriceps and then I stride and Zumba.

> First, I do arms , then I do quadriceps and finally I do some lunges and Zumba .

 

– We start by doing 10 push-ups , 10 squats and 10 irons .

> We start doing 10 push-ups , 10 squats, and 10 planks .

 

Other VERBOS of action and movement of the body are also very common . Surely the monitors use them continuously!

 

– V masters start stretching the body to warm up . We move the arms .

> We are going to start stretching our body to warm up . Move our arms

 

– Today we are going to train with some cardio routines.

> Today we are going to work out with some cardio routines.

 

– We incorporated to breathe better . We will inhale first and exhale later .

> We stand up in order to breathe better. Let’s inhale first and exhale .

 

– On the floor, lying down , we face down and raise the right leg .

> On the floor, laying down , we face down and raise our right leg.

 

As you can see, it is very normal for the monitors to speak in the 1st person of the plural (we) because they do the exercises and movements with the whole class group.
