疫情之下，许多人开始养成在家中健身的习惯，各种健身视频火爆起来。 Exercising at home has become the new normal for many. When the pandemic kicked in, there were few options available aside from rolling out a mat in your front room and cracking on with an online workout video.
然而，有网友发出警告，跟着健身up主挥汗如雨的同时，千万不要开弹幕，原因嘛…… “以为是互相打气，结果是互相泄气”。 
每个视频开头铺天盖地的都是“某某老婆打卡第n天”，气势磅礴如千军万马过境…… 但不出10分钟，就能看见一群人丢盔弃甲，“今天就到这里吧，再见”。 
弹幕里的段子手更是会让坚持跟练的人一不小心笑岔气……
不过也有人看着弹幕，愈战愈勇。 
无论你开不开弹幕，跟着健身视频锻炼都已经成为一股潮流，低碳环保还省钱，深受年轻人喜爱。
Home workout videos are popular among younger generation as most of these workout routines can be done at home with little or no equipment.
But many fitness fanatics found the “bullet comments” scrolling over workout videos on video-sharing platform Bilibili more than a little distracting. They were so hilarious that few people could go through these videos without cracking up, not good news for those sweating before the screen trying to catch their breath.
8月初，B站联合央视新闻共同发布了《2020B站用户健身群像》报告。 报告显示，每天有超过570万人在B站观看健身类视频，其中19-30岁的用户占比接近70%，各线城市分布均匀。
According to a report released by Bilibili, there were over 5.7 million daily users browsing fitness videos on the platform last year, among them 70% were 19-30 years old.
男性用户最喜欢观看“引体向上”相关内容，女性用户最关注如何练出好看的腿型、锁骨和直角肩。 While male users are keen on muscle building workouts like pull-ups, female users pay more attention to routines that will help shape their legs and shoulders.
“美丽芭蕾”“瑜伽冥想”“健美”是B站健身相关的最高频搜索热词。 Workout
这个词指持续一段时间的体育锻炼，也可以用作复数，如chest workouts（胸肌训练）, shoulder workouts（肩部训练）。Work out则可以当动词使用。 This workout can help improve the strength of the core muscles. 这个运动可以增强你核心肌肉的力量。
He works out regularly at the gym. 他经常去健身房锻炼。
锻炼还可以说exercise，健身可以用fitness表达，健美则是bodybuilding。 练肌肉，一般会用build这个动词，如build muscle或muscle building。 Ripped
如果一个人的肌肉很发达，你就可以说他是ripped。
Through his slightly-too-tight shirt you could see he was ripped. 透过他微微有点紧身的衬衫，你能看出他的一身腱子肉。
Shape / fit 形容身材是否走样，可以用in good/poor shape，保持身材则是keep fit。 Well, I am a bit out of shape. I'm thinking about working out to keep fit. 那个，我身体有点走形了，我在考虑做点运动来保持体型。
Tone / sculpt / build 这几个动词可以用来描述塑形、练肌肉。Tone在这里指“give a healthy state to”；sculpt更倾向于形状的塑造。 The 5-miniute workout can tone your butt and thighs. 这个5分钟的运动可以锻炼你的臀部和大腿。
Your arms look tight, toned and firmly sculpted. 你的手臂紧实、健美又有型。
Muscle is harder to build and maintain as we age. 年龄越大，练出肌肉就越难。
Six-pack abs 指六块腹肌，“块”用pack来表示，abs为abdominal muscles的缩写。 Every star wants a six pack and killer abs to sizzle on screen. 明星们都想拥有燃爆银幕的极品六块腹肌。
*Killer在这里有“极好的，引人注意的”意思，也可以形容女性有killer body（极品身材）。 Firm / hard / tight 这几个词可以形容肌肉紧实，firm和tighten还可以用作动词，“使（肌肉）变紧实”。 Plank will give you rock hard abs. 平板支撑帮你练出坚实的腹肌。
Burn / torch / shed 除了lose weight，燃脂、减肥还可以用这几个“高级”词。 It's time to shed a bit of winter's insulation body fat before you hit the waves. 是时候甩掉冬天藏在衣服里的赘肉了，要不然怎么去海滩。
Aerobic [eə'rəʊbɪk] exercise / strength training
健身一般分为有氧运动（aerobic exercise）和力量训练（strength training），前者指强度低持续性久的运动，如长跑，其目的是全面改善健康（improving all elements of fitness）；后者指强度高持续性短的运动，如短跑，主要目的在于塑形（bodybuilding）。 Metabolism [mɛ'tæbəlɪzəm] 加快新陈代谢我们可以用boost/increase metabolism来表达。
Eating a diet rich in lean proteins will increase your metabolism because it takes more energy for your body to digest the protein. 富含精益蛋白质的饮食可加快新陈代谢，因为消耗蛋白质需要更多能量。
赶紧动起来，祝大家早日加入“炫腹”大军。
