Hit the gym with pure Chinese!|操一口纯正汉语去健身

Is that a little embarrassed for you to go to the gym in China

but don’t know any Chinese of the gym equipment?

What would you answer if somebody asked

about what kind of exercise you do in gym?

I think it’s a little bit awkward

if you can just answer “跑pǎo 跑pǎo 步bù”to these questions……

Let’s hit the gym with some pure Chinese words!!!

Imagine how cool it will be if you say
