a lot of people do wrong when it comes to getting in the gym

and lifting weights is they simply do not train hard enough.

You don't rock up to the gym day one and know what it feels like to train till failure.

You need to teach your body what that is and challenge yourself, surprise yourself.

And if you can't do it, you can always go back down to the lower weight.

Do you need to be spending two and a half hours at the gym?

An effective workout can be 30 to 40 minutes longer doesn't equal better.

If you are doing a two-hour workout with 12 different glute exercises, you need to promise us that you're going to try something different,

scale it back, and just give it a shot for four to six weeks

and tell us we're wrong because you won't be able to.

You won't be able to.

Welcome back to the Oil Let's Talk podcast.

I'm Kate.

And I'm Gemma, a space for no BS conversations for the women who want more.

Today, we are diving straight into part two, episode two of the fitness series.

And we have a lot to say.

So without further ado, is that right?

Adieu?

Without further ado.

Adieu or ado?

I don't know.

Let me know, Kate Morris.

What's your first point?

Um, you've caught me off guard because you didn't even intro what we're going to talk about today.

You just said we're coming in hot with our second episode.

Well, today's episode, we want to talk about how you can actually train hard to get the result that you want.

Now, when I think about this from a very basic level, this is what I actually feel like a lot of people do wrong

when it comes to getting in the gym and lifting weights and getting a particular result, is they simply do not train hard enough.

A lot of women still feel like, oh, we're going to get bulky, we're going to get too masculine, I say in quotations if I lift weights,

and usually they'll go in and they'll lift super lightweight, maybe they're afraid of getting injured and eventually just get to the point where they're like,

well, I'm not really getting anywhere closer toward my goal.

So today we really want to break down how to train hard to get the results

and achieve the things that you want.

And again, guys, it's going to feel a bit boring.

I'm sorry, but we're breaking down the basic terminology that you need to know around training till failure, what RIR is, and really getting into the nerdy shit.

like the training intensity again is another skill like you don't rock up to the gym day one

and know what it feels like to train till failure you need to teach your body what

that is and you also need to realize mentally the the blocks

that you can have in terms of like what it actually feels like

when it's hard but you actually can give more so I think

that that's like again another thing

that we need to view as just like a skill

that you need to learn with your body with experience in the gym.

And when it comes to training intensity, I like to break it down with a couple different things to think about when I'm training.

One of those, you already, I think you mentioned it, RIR, but I always like to think- What does that mean?

Raps in reserve.

Just for anyone that doesn't know.

There's also an RPE scale, the rate of perceived exertion.

They're both just fancy ways of saying- Same, same.

Same, same.

Like, are you training close to failure?

Now, we don't want to train to failure with every single exercise, with every single session, because it's going to be really hard to recover

and to also get stronger because we're just maxing out all the time.

But what I'm usually keeping an eye out for is just being one to two reps away from failure, which I kind of put in my head on that scale of being like,

this should feel like a two RIR roughly.

And then I can test that every once in a while.

I can truly do a set to failure to kind of gauge how far off I am based on what I thought.

So for the visual girlies, what does that look like?

let's just visualize a leg extension machine if I have three sets of eight

and for one month I've been stuck at 27 kilos

because I thought that 27 kilos was only a couple reps away from failure with this test

that you can do you can just send it with

that last set and if you can do more than 12 reps

or more than 10 reps at the weight you're currently stuck at

that really tells us that you are undershooting because you're doing four more

and potentially what happens

when people do this test is they can end up doing 20 on the leg extension

and they realize oh I could actually do a lot more

so again it's a it's a test you need to kind of see

and you surprise yourself with how strong you are like you're

like wow I could really push it a lot more than what I realized yeah

and a lot of the time people don't do that

because they are afraid of afraid of injury or afraid you know maybe they just don't think that they're strong enough, another way that I like to look at,

okay, am I training hard enough?

Is what is the speed of the movement that I'm doing?

So again, we'll use the leg extension just for this example.

If I'm getting to my last, say, six reps out of eight, and those reps are starting to really slow down,

that would indicate to me that I'm probably lifting, quote unquote, heavy enough.

And I'm not undershooting like Gemma was speaking about before.

So also paying attention to the speed of the reps that you're doing.

Fancy word for you.

Training velocity.

Yeah.

if you're also just like fanging it on the machine

and you're swinging your legs extension

and it's just flying off your legs it's like well that's probably a clear indicator

that you're lifting way too light

so all of this stuff you guys will start to get good at

if you get into the gym

and you follow something structured I think that's also something really important I know we spoke about

that in episode one but like

if you're not following a structured program how are you ever

going to test any of this how are you going to know whether or not you're actually training to failure?

How do you even know how strong you actually are?

How do you even know what failure even looks like

if one week you're doing an RDL that you saw your favorite influencer doing

and then the next week you're doing something else

100

because somebody else said that Hirox was better

101

and then you're going back to doing this because you've realized

102

that you've got an injury that's flaring up with Hirox because you stopped.

103

Like it just becomes too much.

104

It's like we need to stick to something.

105

We need to follow it for an extended period of time and we need to get good at it.

106

I mean you can't get good at what you don't practice.

107

Exactly.

108

It's like you can't just be chopping and changing and then being sad that you're not getting stronger.

109

It doesn't make any sense.

110

No. On the theme of speed of reps, I also just wanted to quickly touch on tempo.

111

Velocity.

112

I want to quickly touch on tempo because I'm going to say we both would see this all the time.

113

The number one thing that gym newbie girlies do, and I would have done this as well, you would have done this, is we're just like flinging through the movements and because we're visual, flying.

114

We are flying.

115

So for the girlies who are seeing us, lateral raises, perfect example

116

if you're doing a lateral raise aka raising your arm up I would normally extend

117

but for this example I'll just do this

118

if every rep is like this

119

and you're just fanging it have a think about actually logically is my shoulder working

120

or is the momentum doing the work I always think of

121

like the momentum is doing the work my shoulder's not doing the work for

122

that example and that's probably the easiest way to explain what I'm trying to say is

123

if you are more intentional with your reps and you slow it down, you will get a better workout because the muscle is actually working, which is what we're there for, right?

124

So I like to think, I don't want you to become too hyper fixated on tempo, but a good starting place would just be three, one, three, one.

125

So three seconds through the movement, maybe a pause at the top, three seconds down.

126

It doesn't have to be a perfect science, but all that's teaching you is control.

127

And that's a really a good thing that you will one, you'll actually be more sore because you'll be like, oh, I'm actually like working my shoulders and my glutes.

128

And two, it actually gives you, you're making the most out of the time that you're there.

129

Yeah.

130

I always say slow and controlled.

131

And it's not about being, you know, at a snail's pace, but it's about actually allowing your mind to connect to the muscle that's moving,

132

mind muscle connection, and not just flinging the weights around.

133

Also, if you're flinging the weights that quickly, that's another clear indication that it's way too light for what you're trying to do and you probably need to increase it.

134

So for me, whenever I train, and this is just a little sidestep, I always think about it through an intentional lens.

135

I'm not going into the gym just to get in there as quickly as I can to get out

136

or to get in there to throw weight around to then leave.

137

It's like, no, I'm going in there intentional, right?

138

I'm intentionally going in there with a program to focus on a goal that I want to achieve.

139

Same thing with the movements.

140

I'm taking my time through them.

141

I'm going slow.

142

I'm going controlled.

143

I'm thinking about tempo.

144

I'm testing where my strength is.

145

And also I'm challenging myself.

146

And I think that this is a big thing too.

147

It's like people will stay in the same weight range for a period of time instead of just going, oh, okay, let's just see if I add 1.5 kilos more if I can do it.

148

Maybe 2.5 kilos.

149

You know what?

150

Maybe I'm just going to try instead of being 60 kilos on the abduction machine that I've been sitting at for weeks, I'm just going to go to 65 and challenge yourself, surprise yourself.

151

And if you can't do it, you can always go back down to the lower weight.

152

Yeah, I love that.

153

And I think that leads also really nicely into rest periods

154

because another thing that a lot of girlies who've had the background of classes struggle with is

155

when I give them a program and they don't know what to do in

156

that rest period or they don't want to rest for that long.

157

And I have to go through that education piece of being like, no, that's actually what's missing from you getting good results.

158

So run it back for a second.

159

If you've come from a class background or you're not used to resting in the gym, the rest is the part that allows you to train with quality.

160

If you're flying through your sessions and you're not resting, how are you going to push the weight?

161

You're not recovered properly.

162

So with all of the way that Kate and I always program for our clients, it would be somewhere between 60 to 90 seconds rest between each exercise.

163

So again, for the visual girlies, let's think practically here.

164

Let's think that you're on the leg press.

165

Probably would be written something like three sets of eight reps with 60 to 90 seconds.

166

and what we both do

167

and highly suggest doing is not just leaving it to chance of your rest period timing it

168

so the apps that we both use time this

169

so again visual girlies you're on the leg press you've done

170

your first set you open up the training app in an

171

ideal world this is what we do we click rest

172

and then it counts down 60 or 90 seconds and in

173

that time we're chilling out you can you know change the music

174

if you were walking you could do a couple little stepies

175

around the gym as long as it's not too intense

176

and the purpose of this is then you go in for set two

177

and you actually can push hard the training intensity

178

that leads to the the changes that we're wanting and

179

that really does make a really big difference now back to the timing thing

180

if you get distracted on social media your session could take double the amount of time it needs to

181

and it's also distracting

182

and not the mindset you want to be into your in your training session so something that I love doing, I know you also would do this, is phone on Do Not Disturb, timing my rest periods, and I'm being efficient.

183

I'm getting in, I know what I'm doing, I'm training hard, I'm resting when I need to rest, and then I'm getting out of there.

184

And when it comes to sticking to a program longer term, I think that's also better

185

because I'm not needing to spend two hours in the gym to actually get a good session done.

186

That was literally going to be my next point.

187

It's like the time of your session.

188

Do you need to be spending two and a half hours at the gym?

189

No. An effective workout that is controlled, that is focusing on progressive overload, that is structured and built around you and your goals,

190

your training history, can be 30 to 40 minutes

191

if you are doing what we are speaking about in the last episode and in this episode.

192

If you're going in and you're flying through the exercises

193

and everything's really light and you're not doing your rest breaks and you're not following a program, you probably do feel like you need to be there for longer

194

because you don't feel like you're quote unquote getting in a good workout.

195

But the reality is if you follow that structure, if you have, you know, the actual goal that you're working towards, you don't need to be in the gym for two hours.

196

You don't need to be, you know, doing 18 different exercises on one day.

197

It's like you can do four to six exercises.

198

That's perfect.

199

You don't need to be having this massive list of all these different exercises

200

that are just scrambled in there that you're doing off the whim.

201

It's like four to six exercises, training with intensity, either, you know, following progressive overload, testing your failure,

202

all the things we've just spoken about.

203

I feel like I'm just repeating myself in a cycle, but you guys get it.

204

No, it's important.

205

We need to drill it in because we literally have the same conversations every week.

206

So we know that this is important conversation to have.

207

You really just inspired a point that I think is an education thing we can go through in terms of longer.

208

Doesn't equal better.

209

Doesn't equal better.

210

Burn doesn't equal better.

211

What do I mean by that?

212

Sweating.

213

Sweating doesn't equal better.

214

Heart rate being up doesn't equal better when it's resistance training.

215

Now, this is really important because if you've come from a HIIT background, a class background, and maybe even athletics background because you used to do a sport,

216

the feeling and sensation that you have after cardio is different to the feeling and sensation you have after resistance training, and they both serve a purpose.

217

But if you're used to essentially just feeling fucked up after you train

218

and you're thinking that that's what you need to get the results, it doesn't.

219

We can both train and not really break a sweat in terms of like puffing and panting and things like that.

220

And I can still have gotten stronger in that session, be feeling good, be feeling really all of the things because those are two separate things.

221

So do not conflate, fancy word, that the burn, that sensation and how much you wrecked yourself equals results because it doesn't.

222

That just generates fatigue.

223

And when we look at evidence-based results and progress, it is the things that we have already mentioned, a structure resistance training, pushing the training intensity

224

and something that we see quite often is people getting really carried away with volume.

225

So again, the mindset, and this is just the girlies that love to just push as hard as possible.

226

Maybe you've done a sport and it's like, oh, you know, but it's a mindset thing.

227

If you think that training for two hours is better than training for 45 hours, you were 45 hours, 45 minutes.

228

You were wrong.

229

But we can think that because we just think that the more that we push, the better we get.

230

But it's, there's a word that I want yield.

231

Well, it's also just not conducive, right?

232

Because if you think about it from this perspective, it's all based on your goal.

233

Yeah.

234

Right.

235

So if you, if you're training for two hours, smashing yourself, doing lots of cardio, but your goal is to get stronger it's like

236

that doesn't make any sense because you're doing lots of cardio for two hours

237

but you're not actually lifting any weight

238

but the goal is to get stronger like how are you going to get stronger

239

if you're not putting a muscle under any kind of load

240

like it's not conducive to getting you towards the goal based on what it is

241

that you want now obviously

242

if your goal is to you know potentially lose weight let's

243

say your goal is to lose weight yeah you probably are

244

going to have to do more movement either through steps

245

or intentional cardio and it might look a little bit different

246

but it needs to be in line with your goal also

247

who has the time to train two hours a day unless

248

you're probably somebody who is prepping for like an ultra marathon

249

or something like that and you've got multiple different

250

or a bodybuilder you've got multiple different things

251

that you have to do in like one

252

or two training sessions a day fair enough

253

but like the general person you

254

and I gem we don't need to be in the gym for two plus hours we spend 50 minutes of working out.

255

And that gets us results.

256

I do literally at the moment, I do 30 minutes of weight training or 35 minutes of weight training

257

and 30 minutes on the StairMaster because I'm in a deficit and I want to bump that up a little bit.

258

But I also am really loving the cardio element because I think that it challenges me because it's hard.

259

That's where I'm like sweating and my heart rate is up.

260

Weight training, I'm not really sweating and my heart rate isn't really up.

261

Another thing I want to also quickly just tack on here before we wrap up the episode

262

is if you are a person who has come from classes, actually not even that, are classes good, are classes bad?

263

I know someone's going to leave it in the comment.

264

I think group workouts and classes are good if you're a newbie to build motivation,

265

but long term, they're not probably going to get you the physique or the goal that you want.

266

You're probably going to eventually outgrow a group class

267

and you'll probably need to start either going into the gym

268

and following something that's more tailored and structured to you with those rest breaks

269

that we were speaking about before to actually allow you to rest, recover, but also grow muscle tone.

270

Yeah, I really think it just depends on your goal.

271

Classes are great for community.

272

Classes are great for accountability because you've got people around, you've got an appointment that you've booked essentially, so you have to go, which is different to when you're self-motivated at the gym.

273

And any movement is good movement.

274

But if you have a goal beyond those things that we mentioned, and you probably do because you're listening to this podcast,

275

strength, individualization, and the things that you can't essentially get from a class, then you will potentially get to a phase,

276

like Kate said, where you outgrow this because you need something specific to you, you need something structured, and you need something repetitive.

277

And a lot of the time, the other benefits of doing the gym side of things is it's more,

278

like we said, individualized in the sense of you can have more oversight to what you're doing versus

279

if you're in a class and you're just doing stuff who knows

280

if your form's good there's not really as much of a review there

281

and it can just kind of not be focused in on

282

because sometimes the energy of those classes is just to smash yourself

283

and I know because I used to run a lot of classes

284

and like I loved

285

that phase in terms of like the things I mentioned the vibes the vibes are high

286

but the vibes high doesn't equal the results a good playlist

287

and good people around you doesn't equal results and sometimes we can be very attached to that.

288

And I love those things for those reasons.

289

But as long as you're just aware of what's actually going to get you the progress that you're wanting.

290

Yeah.

291

Based on your goal.

292

Which is exactly what we want.

293

Now that wraps up today's episode.

294

Yeah.

295

I had one point actually that I wanted to say before you went into that point.

296

Oh, just back to the long programs, sorry, the long sessions.

297

If you're listening to this, you need to promise Kate and I that if you are doing a two hour workout with 12 different glute exercises,

298

you need to promise us that you're going to try something different, scale it back and just give it a shot for four to six weeks

299

and tell us we're wrong because you won't be able to.

300

You won't be able to because I know

301

that you're going to have less time in the gym

302

and better results because we speak to people all the time about this.

303

And on that note, that wraps up today's episode.

Daily Non-Negotiables to Set You Up for Success

Daily ConversationWorking Adults

FOR YOU

對話背景：健身訓練中的英語表達場景

這段影片是一檔健身播客的對話，兩位主持人討論如何通過高強度訓練達成健身目標，內容涉及健身術語、訓練理念等。對話中穿插了日常交流的口語表達，既適合學習健身相關英語，也能提升日常溝通能力。對於想要同時提高英語和健身知識的學習者來說，是很好的素材。

日常交流高頻短語5則

rock up：表示“到達，出現”，常用於口語。如影片中“you don't rock up to the gym day one”（你不會第一天就出現在健身房）。
catch off guard：意為“使措手不及”。如“you've caught me off guard”（你讓我措手不及）。
scale back：指“縮減，減少”。如“scale it back”（減少訓練量）。
break down：有“分解，詳細解釋”之意。如“break down the basic terminology”（分解基本術語）。
same, same：口語中表示“差不多，一樣”。如“they're both just fancy ways of saying same, same”（它們都是 fancy 的說法，其實差不多）。

影子跟讀（Shadowing）分步指南

影子跟讀是提高英語發音、流利度的有效方法，尤其適合這段對話。以下是針對本影片的練習步驟：

步驟1：熟悉內容，標註重音

先聽一遍影片，理解大意。然後逐句分析，標註單詞的重音和語調，比如“RAPs in reserve”中“RAPs”需要重讀，“same, same”語調要自然下降。

步驟2：逐句跟讀，模仿節奏

播放一句，暫停，立即跟讀。注意模仿主持人的語速和停頓，比如“a lot of people do wrong when it comes to getting in the gym”中，“when it comes to”後的停頓要自然。這一步可結合“shadowspeak”訓練法，提升反應速度。

步驟3：整段複述，強化記憶

聽完一段（約30秒）後，嘗試完整複述。重點關注“RIR”“training till failure”等專業術語的發音，同時注意口語中的連讀，如“rock up”可連讀為“rockup”。

步驟4：角色扮演，實戰運用

與搭檔分飾主持人，進行對話練習。這不僅能鍛鍊口語，還能幫助記憶高頻短語。對於雅思口語練習來說，這種實景對話能有效提升表達的自然度。

堅持練習，你會發現自己的英語發音和流利度逐漸提升，同時還能掌握實用的健身知識，一舉兩得！

影片中的語法

說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：

結構	影片中的用法
“used to” used to + 動詞 — 過去的習慣或狀態，現在已不再如此	used to do · used to run
現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事	you've caught · I've been stuck · you've realized
被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的	I've been stuck · would be written · is controlled
定語從句 who / which + 從句 — 補充說明人或事物	women who want · working, which is · somebody who is

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
