Fitness Spanish — Learn to Coach (or Follow) a Workout in Spanish

About this episode

Walk into a Spanish-speaking gym and you'll hear a specific vocabulary — coaching commands, equipment names, form cues, rep counts, and motivation. Carlos, a personal trainer from Mexico City, takes Maria through a complete session and teaches every word along the way: the warm-up (el calentamiento, la caminadora), squats (sentadillas, dobla las rodillas, empuja las caderas), push-ups (lagartijas, mantén la espalda recta), the plank (plancha, activa el core, aguanta, respira), and the cool-down (el estiramiento, descansa). Plus the motivational phrases you'll hear on any gym floor in Latin America — échale ganas, sí puedes, no te rindas — that work just as well outside the gym. Every scene plays out in Spanish and English side by side.

The full illustrated comic, study guide, transcript, audio & vocab are in the pack.
