BBC Learning English-💪 Health and fitness Phrasal verbs with Georgie
Hello, this is BBC Learning English. In today’s Phrasal Verbs with Georgie, we’re looking at the phrasal verbs related to health and fitness. Are you ready? Let’s go.
Warm up means doing some light exercise and or some stretches to prepare the body for some heavy exercise.
It’s a good idea to warm up before doing an intense workout.
After you’ve warmed up, you’re ready to work out, which means to train your body through exercise, often in the gym, but I’m working out in the garden.
I try to work out at least twice a week. It helps to relieve stress.
After working out, it’s a good idea to cool down. This is similar to warming up, but instead of preparing your body for exercise, you’re recovering from the exercise.
Don’t forget to cool down after doing a workout.
If you stick to something, it means you continue doing something consistently. It comes from the physical sense, so imagine literally sticking to your routine.
I’ve managed to stick to my running training programme for six weeks so far.
If you lose motivation for something and can’t stick to it, you give up, you don’t continue doing it and accept defeat.
This exercise routine is too hard. I give up.
Next, we have cut down on and cut out. What’s the difference? If you cut down on something, you reduce it.
I’ve cut down on my caffeine intake, so now I only have three cups of coffee instead of four.
If you cut something out completely, you eliminate it.
I’ve discovered I’m allergic to nuts, so I have to cut them out of my diet completely.
Don’t freak out and don’t give up. Why not try and work on the phrasal verbs with the free worksheet on our website?
See you next time.

Full Japanese Translation:
こんにちは、こちらはBBC Learning Englishです。今日のジョージーとのフレーズ動詞のレッスンでは、健康とフィットネスに関連するフレーズ動詞を見ていきます。準備はできましたか?さあ、始めましょう。
「Warm up(ウォームアップ)」は、激しい運動に備えて、軽い運動やストレッチをすることを意味します。強い運動を始める前にウォームアップすることをお勧めします。
ウォームアップした後は、work out(運動)する準備ができましたね。これは、通常ジムで行うように、トレーニングをすることを意味しますが、私は庭でワークアウトをしています。ストレスを解消するのに週に少なくとも2回ワークアウトするようにしています。
運動後は、cool down(クールダウン)するのが良いです。ウォームアップに似ていますが、体を運動に備えるのではなく、運動から回復させるためのプロセスです。運動後にクールダウンを忘れないでください。
何かを続けることをstick toと言います。これには一貫して続けるという意味があります。私はこれまで6週間、ランニングのトレーニングプログラムを続けることができました。
何かに対するモチベーションを失ってそれを続けられなくなると、give up(諦める)ことになります。「このエクササイズルーティンは難しすぎます。もう諦めます。」
次はcut down onとcut outです。違いは何でしょうか?「cut down on」は何かを減らすことを意味します。「カフェインの摂取量を減らして、今では1日4杯ではなく3杯しかコーヒーを飲まないようにしています。」
「cut out」は何かを完全に取り除くことを意味します。「ナッツにアレルギーがあることがわかったので、完全に食事から取り除かなければなりません。」
パニックにならないで、諦めないでください。

TOP TIPS!
If you see the word ‘something’, it usually means the verb requires an object.
If ‘something’ is in the middle of the phrasal verb, it means that it can be separated by the object (but doesn’t have to be).
If ‘something’ is at the end of the phrasal verb, it means it cannot be separated.
When a pronoun, e.g. him, her, them, is the object of a separable phrasal verb, it must go between the verb and the particle.
