準備好了嗎？

So today I'm going to talk about the gym.

所以，今天我要談談健身房。

This is a pretty important topic because many people go to the gym and need to know some important terminology related to the gym.

這是一個相當重要的話題，因為很多人去健身房都需要了解一些與健身房有關的重要術語。

Let's start out by talking about some of the most popular benches, machines, and apparatuses.

首先，讓我們來談談一些最受歡迎的長凳、機器和器械。

So the most popular and iconic station at the gym is probably the flat bench.

是以，健身房裡最受歡迎、最具標誌性的站姿可能就是平板凳了。

This is where we bench press.

這就是我們進行臥推的地方。

Of course you can use the flat bench for tons of other exercises as well, but its primary use is for bench pressing.

當然，您也可以用平板凳進行大量其他練習，但它的主要用途是臥推。

Then you've got other types of benches such as the incline bench and the decline bench, and there are 90 degree seated benches too.

此外，還有其他類型的長凳，如傾斜式長凳和下降式長凳，以及 90 度坐姿長凳。

You can do all kinds of chest and shoulder presses on these benches, and you can use dumbbells or barbells.

您可以在這些長凳上做各種胸部和肩部推舉，可以使用啞鈴或槓鈴。

Dumbbells are the individual weights that are held in each hand, whereas a barbell is one long bar where you put weights on both sides and grip it with two hands.

啞鈴是雙手分別握住的單個重物，而槓鈴是一根長杆，兩邊都有重物，用兩隻手握住。

Moving on from the benches, you've got another really important station in the gym, the squat rack.

除了長凳，健身房裡還有一個非常重要的站位，那就是深蹲架。

If you go to the gym regularly, you'll know that the squat rack is always taken.

如果你經常去健身房，就會知道深蹲架總是被佔用。

There's always someone using it, and unfortunately most gyms only have two or three of them.

總有人在使用它，但不幸的是，大多數健身房只有兩三個。

So don't expect to be able to use it at all during peak hours.

是以，不要指望在高峰時段能夠使用它。

The reason why this apparatus is so popular is because it's the foundation for most leg workouts.

這種器械之所以如此受歡迎，是因為它是大多數腿部鍛鍊的基礎。

Leg day just wouldn't be the same without doing some squats.

不做深蹲，腿部鍛鍊日就不一樣了。

Alright, besides benches and the squat rack, you've also got pull-up bars.

好吧，除了長凳和深蹲架，你們還有引體向上杆。

This is where you can use your own body weight to work out your lats, your back muscles, by pulling yourself up.

這時，你可以利用自身的體重，通過將自己拉起來鍛鍊你的腰部和背部肌肉。

This is one of the hardest exercises that exists.

這是目前最難的練習之一。

I used to be pretty good at pull-ups, but now I'm not as fit as I used to be, so I'm just average at them.

我以前引體向上做得很好，但現在體能不如以前了，所以只能算一般。

There are also a lot of machines that can be used for all the different muscle groups.

還有很多器械可用於鍛鍊所有不同的肌肉群。

You've got machines for bicep curls, leg presses, hamstring extensions, shoulder presses, lat pulls, and many other exercises.

您可以使用這些器械進行二頭肌彎舉、腿部推舉、腿筋伸展、肩部推舉、拉伸以及許多其他練習。

Usually, the fancier the gym, the more state-of-the-art machines they have.

通常情況下，健身房越豪華，擁有的先進機器就越多。

Other common gym equipment includes cables, medicine balls, jump ropes, and many other things.

其他常見的健身器材包括纜繩、藥用球、跳繩等。

And lastly, you've got many machines used for cardio workouts.

最後，還有許多用於有氧運動的機器。

The most popular of these is the treadmill, which is used to walk or run.

其中最受歡迎的是跑步機，用於步行或跑步。

I hate the treadmill, because I like running outside in the fresh air, and I don't like the feeling of running and not actually going anywhere.

我討厭跑步機，因為我喜歡在空氣新鮮的室外跑步，我不喜歡跑著跑著卻哪兒也去不了的感覺。

Besides the treadmill, there are also ellipticals, stairmasters, bicycles, and many other machines.

除了跑步機，還有橢圓機、階梯機、自行車和許多其他機器。

Okay, so now let's just talk a little bit about the different muscle groups that you work out at the gym.

好了，現在我們來談談在健身房鍛鍊的不同肌肉群。

The major muscle groups would probably be the chest, the back, and the legs.

主要的肌肉群可能是胸部、背部和腿部。

Your chest muscles are called your pecs.

胸肌被稱為胸肌。

Your biggest back muscles are your lats and your traps.

你最大的背部肌肉是你的腰肌和胸肌。

And your leg muscles include your quads, your calves, your hamstrings, and you could probably include the glutes in there, too.

腿部肌肉包括四頭肌、小腿、腿筋，臀部肌肉可能也包括在內。

Your more minor muscle groups that you work out include your abs, your shoulders, and your arms.

鍛鍊的小肌肉群包括腹肌、肩部和手臂。

Your shoulder muscles are called your deltoids, and your arm muscles are your biceps and triceps.

肩部肌肉稱為三角肌，手臂肌肉稱為肱二頭肌和肱三頭肌。

Okay, that's all for today.

好了，今天就到這裡。
