Cindy is determined to get in shape. She is enrolling at her local

gym and is due to take her fitness assessment today...

Cindy由于春节时贪吃了过多的饺子而增重不少，于是她痛下决心重塑自己的魔鬼身材。她参加了当地的一家健身中心，今天她要去进行身体评估。

Coach: Hi Cindy! Are you ready for your fitness assesment?

教练：Cindy，你好！准备好开
始你的身体评估了吗？

Cindy: As ready as I'll ever be I suppose...I must get some new kit

if I am going to do this as well, does my bum look big in this?

Cindy：我想是的……如果我还可以做这个，我一定长胖了，我的臀部看起来很大吗？

Coach: Eh?! Ha Ha! You'll be fine, it's not so bad. It's just so I

know what areas we have to work on.

教练：嗯？哈哈！你会瘦下来的，情况还不算太糟糕。这只是让我知道我们应该针对哪些地方进行锻炼。

Cindy: What's first then?

Cindy：那么我们先测什么？

Coach: The treadmill, to test your cardiovascular capacity. 5

minutes, go!

教练：踏车，用来测试你的心脏血管的承受能力。5分钟，开始！

Cindy: Wow! It's a bit quick...

Cindy：哦！有一点点快。

Coach: I'll slow it down then.

教练：我会使它慢下来的。

Following the test Cindy meets her personal trainer to discuss her

programme...

测试完后，Cindy与她的私人教练一起谈论她的训练计划。

Coach: So I've got the results of your test.

教练：我拿到了你测试的结果。

Cindy: How did I do?

Cindy:我完成得怎么样？

Coach: Let's say you have your good and bad points. In terms of

cardiovascular fitness you are below par for your age and weight. By

the way you are only a little overweight for your height...but you

could improve your lower body strength a lot.

教练：既有好的方面，也有不尽如人意的地方。在心脏血管的健康状况一项上，你低于与你体重大致相同的同龄人的平均水平。另外，相对于你的身高，你只是有一点超重。但是你需要好好加强下半身的力量。

Cindy: A little overweight is not good enough. I want to be able to

wear my bikini in the summer.

Cindy：我并不满足于只是一点超重。我想要在夏天的时候穿上我的比基尼泳装。

Coach: Well here is the plan I have worked out for you. You'll see

there is a lot of low intensity cardio work. This burns fat and

really imporves your base fitness.

教练：这是我为你制定的计划。计划里面有很多低强度的心脏练习。这些练习会消耗掉你的脂肪并且改善你基本的健康状况。

Cindy: That's good! But how do I get my bum in shape?

Cindy：太好了!但是我怎样重塑臀部的曲线？

Coach: Ha Ha! OK, I included a lot of squats and other lower body

work, that will tone up your thighs and buttocks nicely if you think

they're are a problem.

教练：哈哈!好的，如果你觉得它们是个大问题，我加入了很多蹲坐和其他下半身的练习，它们会帮你收紧你的大腿肌肉和臀部。

In the gym, Cindy's personal trainer demonstrates how to use the

equipment.

在健身馆，Cindy的私人教练向她示范如何使用器械。

Coach: Ok you know all about the running machine already. But I'll

just point out this function that allows you to alter the gradient.

If its steeper you'll work your lower body more building muscle on

your legs and buttocks.

教练：你也经知道了关于跑步机的一切。但是我还要指出跑步机的一个功能是允许你调节坡度。坡度越大，通过锻炼形成的腿部肌肉和臀部肌肉就越多。

Cindy: That's what I'm talking about!

Cindy：这就是我提到过的目标。

Coach: Here we have the rowing machine, this is an all body work out

and will also help remove the excess flab you have on your upper arm.

教练：这个是划船机。这是一个全身性的练习而且也能帮助你减少上臂的赘肉。

Cindy: Looks tough.

Cindy：看起来很难。

Coach: Yeah, but you'll take it slow at first.

教练：是的，但是先慢慢来。

Cindy: That's lucky!

Cindy：这样好多了!

Coach: Over there we have the exercises mats. You will be doing sit

ups on those to firm up your abs. Also I will give you a warm up and

down stretching routine. This is very important, to prevent injury.

教练：那边是我们的健身垫。你将在上面完成让腹部更坚实的仰卧起坐练习。我同时会让你做一些热身的拉伸练习。这些对防止你受伤很重要。
