Communication in English at the Gym

A more important question would be, was the advice asked for by the guy?

On instead of In.

“You can cheat On the last two reps.”.

He’s just recently started working out and looks up to me. So I try to motivate him and help as much as possible. :slightly_smiling_face:

Thank you very much.

May be, but I personally think that when your English is good it becomes easier to make native friends and learn more about the country and the culture.
Thanks for the advice anyway.

I’d say “You can cheat the last two reps” but in/on also works.

I agree. I used to study abroad in Japan and nobody except the one trainer spoke English. This was a kickboxing gym too, so when punching and kicking people, communication was key!

I want to know how to talk about ‘cheat days’ correctly in English.

  1. Are both take and have used- ‘I take/have a cheat day on Friday.’
  2. Friday is my cheat day.

“Have” sounds more correct but I wouldn’t bat an eye at “take”

As far as I know cramp is when your muscle contracts on it’s own. It happens to me sometimes right after doing a set of abs and sometimes after working my biceps.
Today I came across the word ‘spasm’ which seem to have the same meaning when I googled. I want to know the difference between ‘cramp’ and ‘spasm.’

And please let me know about other terms that I might need to express myself properly.
