  • Hey guys! It's Ariannita la Gringa and welcome  back to my YouTube channel! Today I am taking  

  • you guys with me to go exercise. And where do  you go exercise? Well you exercise at the gym.  

  • And I'm going to exercise at my gym called  the YMCA and that stands for Young Men's  

  • Christian Association. Now let's learn some  Gym vocab at the 'YMCA'. Come along with me!

  • Right now, I'm in the lobby of my gym and before  walking inside I have to scan this card. This is  

  • my gym membership and I pay for this monthly. So  I'm going to go ahead and scan this membership.  

  • And this has a barcode. Before working out, I'm  going to grab a towel and teach you guys what a  

  • gym membership is. A gym membership is when you  are a member of the gym (you are part of the gym)  

  • and you basically pay each month a specific amount  and you have access to all the utilities they have  

  • here and the classes I pay $25 per month to go to  the gym. Do you guys think that's expensive? Let  

  • me know down below. Before exercising or working  out, I recommend you guys to warm up your body.  

  • And what does warming up your body mean? That  means stretching your arms, stretching your legs,  

  • or doing a low intensity workout like  walking or jogging before your workout.

  • After stretching  

  • my body, now I'm ready to warm up and one of  my favorite ways to warm up is going on the  

  • treadmill on a light walk. Remember warming up is  a low intensity exercise that you do before doing  

  • a high intensity exercise like lifting weights  .Another way to warm up your body is using the  

  • StairMaster or the elliptical. Now, let's start  warming up on the treadmill. I'm going to press  

  • go and start warming up. I normally run one mile  when I warm up. Let me know down below how many  

  • miles you guys run when you guys go to the gymHere in America we use miles instead of kilometers  

  • and I like to warm up because I don't want to  have an injury when I'm working out. Right now,  

  • I'm walking on the treadmill and with this button  I can control the speed of the treadmill. So  

  • right now I'm just walking one mile per hour  and as you can see I'm going pretty slow and  

  • with this button right here I can control  the incline so I can go all the way up to  

  • Incline number 12 which is pretty steep for me  so I'm just going to stay on incline number 6.

  • Okay guys I finally finished warming up  my body and I'm pretty sweaty right now,  

  • but I'm ready to start my actual workout. I just  ran one mile and now I'm ready to go work out.  

  • I'm going to start my workout in the weight  room where they have a lot of equipment and  

  • free weights you use to work out. Whentalk about free weights, that is weight  

  • that is not connected to a machine. Now let's  play a little game I'll give you guys three  

  • seconds and you have to tell me what this  free weight is. What is this free weight?

  • This is a dumbbell. They have short bars that you  

  • can hold with both hands. Now I want  you guys to tell me what this is...

  • This is a barbell and it is a long skinny bar that  

  • you can hold with two handsNow what do you call these?

  • This is called a plate or a weight plate  and this will go on the end of the barbell.  

  • And this is called a clamp or a weight clamp  and this will go at the end of the barbell to  

  • secure the plates so they do not fall. And what  is this called? What am I sitting on right now?  

  • This is called a bench or an exercise  bench and it helps you perform exercise  

  • movements. The last free weight is  this right here. What is it called?

  • This is called a kettlebell kettlebell and  its handle is in the shape of a loop. After  

  • knowing what a free weight is, I'm  going to take two dumbbells and work  

  • out my body. I'm first going to start  with my shoulders and then move down  

  • so let's start! I have my two dumbbells  and I'm going to work out my shoulders.

  • That was one rep of doing my  shoulders. Now remember one rep  

  • means one repetition and that means just  one movement. Now if I do another one,  

  • that means I have done two reps. I'm going  to do 10 reps and make that one set.

  • I have just completed my set of 10 reps of  shoulders with my dumbbells. Now I'm going  

  • to take a little break and then begin my other  set. Moving down from my shoulders, now I'm going  

  • to focus on this muscle this part of my body the  triceps. And I'm going to use this cable machine  

  • that they have in this weight room. And it's  called a cable machine because it has a cable  

  • that you pull down. So let's start off exercising  the triceps. I'm going to do one set with 10 reps.

  • There we go I have worked out my tricepsNow remember, you don't have to use the  

  • cable machine to work out the back part of your  arm this muscle right here the tricep. You can  

  • also exercise your tricep with a dumbbellThis is just another way to exercise this  

  • muscle in your body. Now I'm going to raise  this dumbbell and then work out my tricep.

  • I just completed five reps of this  workout. Now I'm going to work out  

  • this muscle in my body. Do  you know what it's called?

  • This is called your bicep bicep and I'm going  to change this handle and put this one on I'm  

  • hooking it on right now. After hooking this on,  I'm going to pull this handle and bring it all  

  • the way down to the floor. Then, I'm going to  work out my biceps. I'm going to do 5 reps.

  • There we go! I have completed five  reps working out the biceps. Now,  

  • I'm going to focus on my chest area so I'm going  to sit down on this exercise bench this bench and  

  • then I have my barbell. I also have my plates and  I have a clamp at both ends of the barbell. So I'm  

  • going to lay down on this bench and do a bench  press. This exercise is called a bench press.

  • Oh! It's too heavy I'm putting this back  down and I'm going to remove the clamp and  

  • both weights and I'm just going to bench  press with the barbell. Now that I have  

  • removed the weights, I'm going to attempt  to bench press just the bar. I'm not sure  

  • how many reps I can do. I'm going to  attempt to do 10 but I'm not sure.

  • That was 10 reps with the bench press. If you guys  are laughing because of my weak arms just wait  

  • for my legs because I promise I'm stronger than  you think. As you just saw, I had a little bit  

  • of trouble performing the bench press exercisebut hey that's okay! Next time I'm going to ask  

  • someone, "Hey! Can you spot me?" Spot me is just  so someone can assist you with a bench press or  

  • you can have someone spot you with any other heavy  weight so I recommend you guys to do this so you  

  • guys do not get hurt when you are exercisingNow, I'm going to exercise my back, but I'm  

  • pretty tired so I'm going to change the weight and  as you can see right here I'm going to change it  

  • from 75 pounds to just 10 pounds. Also this weight  machine and all the weight machines here have  

  • pounds and also have kilograms. So 10 pounds is  4.5 kilograms and I'm going to pull down this bar  

  • and exercise my back. Okay... I'm going to add  a little bit more weight because that is way too  

  • easy for me. Let's do 40 pounds or 18 kilogramsThat's much better I'm going to do 5 reps.

  • Now I'm finished with the back. I just used this  machine to work out my back, but as you can see  

  • there are three more stations that you can use  to work out your arms and your back. And you can  

  • also change the different handles to work out  the different parts of your body. After working  

  • out my shoulders, my triceps, my biceps, my backand my chest, now I'm going to work around this  

  • part of the body. I'm going to work out my core  (my abs) and I'm going to use this exercise mat  

  • or you can just call it a yoga mat. I'm going  to put this on the ground because I don't want  

  • to sit on the dirty ground I'd rather have a more  comfortable mat to sit on. When I work out my abs,  

  • I like to use this thing. What is it called? This  is called an exercise ball and I like using this  

  • because I don't have to use an actual weight  to exercise this part of my body. I am using  

  • both the exercise ball and my actual body  weight to guide me to exercise. So I'm going  

  • to put this ball on the ground, and then put  both of my knees on the ball. Have my hands  

  • oops have my hands like this and then bring  my knees to my face and then work out my abs.

  • That's how you work out your abs with an  exercise ball. Now I'm going to start my  

  • favorite part of my workout and it's working  out my legs. So I'm going to work out my glutes,  

  • my quads, my hamstrings, and my calves (four  muscles in one!) with this machine. This is  

  • called a Smith machine and there is a barbell  that is attached securely to the machine so  

  • it doesn't move around. But first, I'm going to  put some plates on it I'm going to do 20 pounds.

  • And I'm going to begin my workout using my legs  

  • to work out. I'm also going to put on  this pad on this bar because I want to  

  • protect my neck. Now I'm going to do  10 reps of squats with this barbell.

  • I just completed 10 reps of squatsWhen you work out with your legs you  

  • can also work out specific muscles or  parts of your body. So I'm going to  

  • sit down right here and work out  this part of my body (my quads).

  • I just did 5 reps working out my quads, but  the machine next to this one will work out  

  • my hamstrings I'm changing my weight to 50  pounds. Also, I'm very tall as you can see  

  • so you can also adjust this machine. So I'm going  to adjust this so my ankles are at the end of this  

  • there we go and now I'm going to adjust this  part so that it's nice and snug to my thighs.

  • Now I'm going to do 5 reps

  • To unhook from this machine I pull this up and  then I'm free to go! Now my ultimate exercise,  

  • my last exercise, I'm going to work out my calvesSo with this machine you work out your calves and  

  • what you do you'll sit down, put your feet on  this step, and then you'll pull this lever,  

  • and then I'm going to doreps to work out my calves.

  • This is called a seated calf for a reason  because I'm working out my calves. Okay  

  • guys I just finished my full body workoutLiterally from head to toe and now I'm going  

  • to cool down and meanwhile while I cool  down, stretch my arms, stretch my legs,  

  • I'm going to show you the different spaces my gym  has for its members. This is a weight room but  

  • come along with me and I'm going to show you guys  what they have to offer. When you enter my gym,  

  • you'll see that there is a long white hallway  and there are two different sides to choose  

  • from. So you can choose the weight room  with free weights or you can choose the  

  • cardio room where you have treadmillsellipticals, or rowing machines where you  

  • can work out your heart muscle. Come along  with me and let's see what else they have!

  • Over here they have the restroom. So you have  the women's restroom. They also have the men's  

  • restroom and they have a water fountain where you  can refill your water bottle right here. And then  

  • to my right they have lockers where you can store  your personal items when you work out. So you can  

  • choose whatever locker you want to store your  valuable items. You can see my password that  

  • I put when I first came in. I have my towel right  here that I had before, but you can store valuable  

  • items like your car keys, your phone whatever  you have that you brought in with you to the gym.  

  • When you close this locker you type in your  code one more time and that'll set the code.  

  • But to actually close this locker you have to  punch in your code one more time and there you  

  • go it's locked! Also, they have a studio space  right here where they have classes scheduled on  

  • this sheet of paper. Right now it's closed but  these classes are free but it's technically not  

  • free because I am still paying for my membershipMy gym also has an elevator where you can move  

  • from different levels. Right now we are on level  one and they have four levels so they have sport  

  • courts. They also have a track where you can  go and run. They also have some offices here  

  • because this is a business so they have people  working here. They also have a cardio level,  

  • another gym and studio, and then we are going to  go downstairs we are going to see the pool level.

  • I just pressed the button to go down to  the lower level. The elevator button wasn't  

  • working for the pool level, but right now this  door is closed because the gym is closed right  

  • now while I'm recording this video. So you can  try to see the lap pool they have right here  

  • but let's go upstairs and see the trackNow let's go upstairs to visit the track.

  • Now this is the track as you can hear my voice is  echoing. Right below the track is the basketball  

  • court and you can run around this track all the  way around and I think 26 laps is one mile. Okay  

  • now that you know that 26 laps is a mile, let's  see how fast I am to run around the track...

  • Okay! I'm not sure how many seconds that was  but I'm going to put a timer to know how fast  

  • I am. Now, we're going to the last floor the  fourth floor... Let's see what we can find.  

  • As you can see this gym is huge! I didn't know  how big this gym was but the fourth floor has  

  • different courts so come along with me and let's  see what they have. Wow! This is a huge court. I'm  

  • not sure what type of sport they play here I think  it's with a racket. So this court is where you can  

  • play racquetball so I didn't know that beforethought they just played pickleball but yes you  

  • play racquetball so I think you just bounce the  ball against the walls and that's how you play it.  

  • Okay guys! I have finally finished cooling down  my body I have stretched my arms my legs and I'm  

  • finished working out and I finished a little bit  over time. The gym closes at 8pm and I finished  

  • around 8:10 and the people kicked me out because  they said you need to go home. Can you believe it?  

  • I got kicked out three times for a video just for  you guys! Anyway, I hope you guys like, subscribe,  

  • and give me a super things if you enjoy my  videos! I'll see you guys next week! Bye!
