Power Warm-up: The Importance of Mobility and Flexibility: Part 2
Howard tells Gia the first part of his mother’s daily exercise routine. Morning yoga will help Gia’s mother loosen up and start the day feeling good and flexible
Kristen:
Okay, so we are going to talk about the importance of mobility and flexibility. And I don’t think I asked you this question last time, Cameron. Are you flexible?
Cameron:
So I used to be, like, in high school, I could do the splits. Just, like, the side split, not the middle, but to the left side or to the right side. I could do that
Kristen: Without having to tear,
Cameron: Without having to stretch. Like, my body just naturally did it. But as I’ve gotten older and I don’t do anything,
Kristen:
Yeah.
Cameron:
Gotten a lot stiffer. What about you? Are you flexible? I feel like you’re flexible for like your age. Yeah
Kristen:
I think so. I think I’m pretty flexible and I always stretch at night.
Cameron:
Yeah, you do.
Kristen:
So that I can continue to be flexible. But I think if I didn’t, I wouldn’t be so flexible. But you know, I’ve always been kind of athletic. Like not that I was doing any sports, but I’ve always kind of enjoyed swimming and running and all of those things. So, I think in that way.
Cameron:
It keeps you moving.
Kristen:
It keeps me moving. Yeah, yeah. I like to keep moving.
Cameron:
I would say my lower body is not flexible anymore. My legs are very stiff. But my upper body, you know how you can put your arms behind your back and hold your… I can still do all that.
Kristen:
Well, you got long arms.
Cameron:
I can wash my back with just my hands. I don’t need a brush or anything. Okay.
Kristen:
You’ve got long arms.
Cameron:
I do.
Kristen:
Oh darn.
Cameron:
Anyway.
Power Expresssions
Kristen:
All right. So we’re talking about mobility and flexibility. So ask yourself, am I flexible? You know, am I?
Cameron:
Flexible mentally?
Kristen:
It’s Part two. Now, loosen up is a good expression when we’re talking about mobility and flexibility. L-O-O-S-E-N.
Cameron:
Yes. So when you’re talking about loosening up your body, you’re making it easier to move, like warming up your muscles and your joints.
Kristen:
How about range of motion?
Cameron:
I believe the Korean is 가동 범위. It is the amount of space, of distance that a body part can move.
Kristen:
Right. Okay. And get an idea.
Cameron:
You kind of learn, you kind of understand what you’re supposed to do. Oh, interesting. You don’t understand it 100%, but you kind of get an idea. Oh.
Kristen:
Oh, interesting, because it’s like we know, have an idea or come up with an idea, but get an idea is a little different, let’s go ahead and listen to that dialogue.
Power Dialog
Gia: What does your mom do that would help loosen up my mom’s stiff back?
Howard: She starts each day with an easy yoga routine called Sun Salutation. You can find videos online showing how to do it.
Gia: Will that improve her range of motion, too?
Howard: Absolutely. If she only did this short yoga routine, she would feel better in a short period of time.
Gia: I guess I’ll get an idea of how much more she needs to do after a week or two.
Howard: That’s a good start.
Kristen:
Here we go. Gia says, what does your mom do that would help loosen up my mom’s stiff back? This is a great expression. To loosen up your muscle, to loosen up, you know, a stiff shoulder or back. Let’s first talk about stiff back. S-I-S-T-I-F-F. The word stiff means like it’s kind of like tight. 뻣뻣한.
Cameron:
뻣뻣한.
Kristen:
So, 뻣뻣한 등.
Cameron:
Yeah. If you think about, you know, as I’ve gotten older, you know, like if you, when you’re young, you can sleep anywhere. But let’s say you fall asleep on the couch, watching TV. The next morning you wake up. Ah, I fell asleep on the couch. And you cannot move your back. Because it hurts.
Cameron:
That is a stiff back. I cannot move, I cannot bend my back.
Kristen:
And let’s be real. In modern society, people work at their desks, so they have stiff shoulders and necks.
Cameron:
Yeah. It’s just you’re not flexible. So you can even use this for like a personality. A stiff personality. You’re not flexible..
Kristen:
We don’t like those kinds of people. Mm-hmm,
Cameron:
No.
Kristen:
No. Not at all. They need to, and that’s why they say, loosen up. So it has two meanings. If a person is really stiff, has a stiff personality. And very uptight, say loosen up. Loosen up. So what does this mean, loosen up?
Cameron:
So to loosen up with a personality would be like to relax or be less strict. When we’re talking about muscles, it’s about warming up that muscle and allowing it to move more freely, to have more flexibility.
Kristen:
So loosen up your back here just makes means to make it more flexible.
Cameron:
Maybe you’re doing some yoga or you’re using a foam roller to kind of get all of those muscle fibers back in order.
Kristen:
And your back is okay?
Cameron:
My back?
Kristen:
Yeah, you’re back.
Cameron:
Okay, good. It’s fine. All right. No big problem.
Kristen:
Yeah, me too. Good. Howard says what?
Cameron:
She starts each day with an easy yoga routine called Sun Salutation. You can find videos online showing how to do it.
Kristen:
Okay. So they begin with a yoga routine in the morning. Okay. And you can, sun salutation is just a, is a certain pose.
Cameron:
Yeah, 태양경배. Yeah. It’s not just like saying, I didn’t know that, Kristen. I looked in our translation. That can be found in the Power English book, available online and at your local bookstore.
Kristen:
Cameron, I thought you knew this.
Cameron:
I didn’t know.
Kristen:
And I was like, wow, that’s impressive.
Cameron:
No, sometimes I do look at the Korean translation.
Kristen:
You’re cheating, cheating. Okay. All right. Gia says, will that improve her range of motion? So, we talked to, well, we know motion. It’s like movement, right? Range is like how far, how high you can move.
Cameron:
Right.
Kristen:
So range of motion means.
Cameron:
The amount you can move. From, if you’re talking about left to right, how far left and how far right can you move something? Right.
Kristen:
One example, this is what I do these days is I circle my arms.
Cameron:
Ah, yes.
Kristen:
And this like is not as easy. And the range of motion is actually quite small. Yeah. But if you keep doing it, you can make the circles wider.
Cameron:
So that would be you’d have a wide range of motion versus having a narrow range or small range of motion.
Kristen:
Right, and how is your range of motion?
Cameron:
It’s fine. Okay. Yeah.
Kristen:
So far, so good.
Cameron:
I mean, yeah, it could be better, but especially I think for a guy, my range of motion is fine. I had a friend in college. He was like big into bodybuilding. He could not raise his arms above his head. Oh, like like he could kind of raise them forward. Yeah. But his his shoulder is like…. But he had muscle! He could not move, yeah.
Kristen:
But he had no range of motion.
Cameron:
It was like that very Arnold Schwarzenegger. So, I mean, I think nowadays, instead of just like for guys as well, not just big muscles, but having range of motion. Being able to move is very important.
Kristen:
Very good. And what does Howard say?
Cameron:
Absolutely. If she only did this short yoga routine, she would feel better in a short period of time.
Kristen:
So this is his suggestion. Do a little routine in the morning. And Gia says, I guess I’ll get an idea of how much more she needs to do after a week or two. Let’s break this down. I guess I’ll is our power pattern. Okay. I guess I will.
Cameron:
Yeah. Yeah. I guess I will. I guess I will. Sorry, a little bit of Arkansas accent came out. I guess I’ll is used whenever you’re going to do something, but you don’t know if it’s going to work. I guess I’ll. I guess I’ll.
Kristen:
I guess I’ll go to the meeting. I don’t want to. I don’t know why I should.
Cameron:
I have no reason to not go. I guess I’ll go. I guess I’ll brush my teeth. Okay. I don’t know. It’s just, you don’t know if it will work and you don’t know if it’s the right thing to do, but you’re just gonna do it.
Kristen:
You’re going to do it anyway. Okay. Now let’s talk about this expression, get an idea. Because this sounds like to make an idea, to come up with, create an idea.
Cameron:
Right, so this phrase can be used to mean, like we learned before, it occurred to me. I got the idea for this new movie. Meaning I thought of this new idea. Right. But here, get an idea means you will learn about or you will start to understand something. So, Gia’s going to talk to her mom and then kind of learn what needs to happen over the next week or two. Maybe it won’t be fully understanding what her mother needs.
Kristen:
But you will kind of know. Kind of.
Cameron:
Kind of. You’ll get an idea.
Kristen:
All right. Good. Let’s go ahead and listen to that dialogue one more time.

Power Note
1. 몸을 풀다 영어로 – Loosen up
Kristen:
Okay, it’s time for Power Note. We’re on pages 46 and 47. To loosen up means to make your muscles, joints easier to move, to make them more flexible.
1)
A: Do you think I’m a bad dancer, Gia?
B: Not really bad, but I think you would be better if you could loosen up a bit.
Kristen:
So to be a better dancer, you need to loosen up. What does this mean?
Cameron:
So some people, when they dance, myself included, are very stiff. It’s like a robot. Right. But often good dancing, it’s smoother.
Kristen:
It’s very rhythmical.
Cameron:
It’s more graceful. Yeah. It’s not so sharp. It’s a little more relaxed. So here, that is what is meant by loosen up. Right.
Kristen:
Right. So you can definitely see something like a dance group or a dance lesson in the beginning. They have a warm-up exercise to kind of loosen everything up. Yeah.
Cameron:
Mm-hmm.
2) After the players loosened up, they went onto the field to start the match.
Not just dancers, but athletes.
Cameron:
Yeah.
Kristen:
Need to loosen up, or they’ll break something.
Cameron:
Yeah, so this loosen up it can be used to like warm up your muscle or to relax uh it can also be used for things that are like knotted so like a knot you have to loosen up for example when you have like 비빔면, but you get it delivery, they don’t put the water in it. Like, it’s just the noodles. And all the noodles are together, and you can’t pull them apart. Right? It’s just…
Kristen:
You just cut them. Cut.
Cameron:
It’s like a knot. You can either cut it or you can put the water, the 국물, you put that in and it loosens up the noodles. So, you can pull them apart.
Kristen:
Oh, I want some 냉면 now.
Cameron:
I know. Sounds delicious. All right, let’s finish the show and go eat some.
2. 가동범위 영어로 – range of motion
Kristen:
Okay, okay, okay. Let’s get back to it. Range of motion.
Cameron:
This is the distance that you can move your body, move a part of your body.
1)
A: Your range of motion is very bad.
B: Well, it’s been difficult to move or stretch much since the accident.
Kristen:
Of course, you know, when you have an injury, your range of motion can go down significantly.
Cameron:
Oh, yeah. Because usually what happens after you have an accident, your body tightens up. It doesn’t want to move because it’s trying to protect itself. That’s right. Right.
2) As we get older, our range of motion declines if we don’t keep exercising.
Cameron:
It’s true. Yeah. If you don’t.
Kristen:
So true.
Cameron:
I feel, you know, for example, when you see older people, particularly older women on the road, like the really old ones who like they’re bent over. .They can’t even stand up straight anymore. I know. The range of motion of their. And it’s because they’ve, you know, probably lived a very hard life and they’ve done a lot of manual work. But, oh, it is. It’s true.
Kristen:
It’s just, I don’t know, the quality of life. Can you imagine?
Cameron:
So it’s while we are able to move, we need to make sure that we are stretching and building the muscles in the right way so we can keep our range of motion into our body.
Kristen:
So very true. So very true. So, you know, I mean, that’s one. Exercising is also very, very important. Cardio, you know, muscle strength training, that kind of thing. But this whole idea of the range of motion, keeping your range of motion, you know, always intact, that this is really important.
Cameron:
Oh yeah. Like being able to twist. . Like just your back turned left and right. I don’t know, range of motion. I just want to, after this show, we’re going to have to stand up.
Kristen:
Yeah, after this show, we’re going to have to do some stretches. Yeah.
Cameron:
And then go eat some 비빔국수.
3. 생각이 나다. 알게 되다: get an idea
Kristen:
Sounds like a good idea. Okay. Speaking of idea, get an idea means to have a thought about something. Meaning, ah, like you don’t know it completely, but you have a good idea of what’s going on. Okay.
1)
A: I’ve got an idea about what we can do to raise money for the club.
B: I hope it’s better than last year’s car wash on the rainiest day of the year.
Kristen:
Okay. So I have an idea. I got an idea. In this case, it’s like literally I do have some idea.
Cameron:
Yes, it’s a new idea that you will try to create or try to do. The second example, though, is the same meaning as in our dialogue.
2) Once we had an idea of how much it would cost, we decided not to buy it.
Cameron:
Yeah. So for example, if you think, wow, I want to buy a computer. So, you’re like, okay, I’m going to buy the best computer. But then you go online and you start looking at the price. I’m going to have the most memory and I’m going to have the most RAM and I’m going to have the most battery life. And you’re like, oh, oh, wow, this is getting expensive. You start to get an idea of the price. You don’t know the exact price, but you kind know what the price is going to be. That is getting an idea of the price. That can change your opinion on whether you want to buy it.
Kristen:
Okay. And in our dialogue, we use the verb had an idea, once we had an idea. But it is the same concept has got an idea in this case. So, depending on the context, you got to be careful when you look at it. It could be like, oh, we got an idea, like ding, ding, ding, you know. Or we got an idea of how much it would cost, meaning like we kind of knew.
Cameron:
Yeah, we don’t know exact, but we’re starting to understand what it will be. Okay.
4. I guess I’ll : 잘 모르겠지만 (하기 싫지만, 잘 될지 모르겠지만) –해야지 뭐, 할 거 같아.
Kristen:
That’s it. Okay. Our power pattern, I guess I’ll. Yeah. Meaning?
Cameron:
I don’t know. I’ll try.
1) I guess I’ll take the bus to work next week.
Cameron:
I mean, I guess if my cars aren’t…
2) I guess I’ll see you when you get back from London.
Yeah, I guess so. I thought we would be able to meet again, but… Yeah, but I guess not. You’re busy, I’m busy? Okay.
Kristen:
All right. Stiff is our power vocab on page 48. Do check that out. I think everyone probably suffers from a stiff neck, stiff shoulder, or stiff back these days. Okay.
5. 뻣뻣한 영어로: Stiff
When one is stiff, they are unable to move as well as they previously could. One may become stiff from too much exercise or a complete lack of exercise.
