[mothric]

genuine question from someone who would rather chew their arm off than go to a public gym, and also doesnt have a lot of money: how do you safely get into strength training? are there youtube channels, apps (android), etc anyone recommends that makes it approachable and don't lean into diet culture / body shaming?

also the biggest thing that keeps me from working out is that I already have joint and spinal issues and moving the wrong way can fuck up a knee or a shoulder or my spine for days. I really don't want to injure myself, and have unwittingly done so before. resources that are extremely clear on exactly how to move and offer gentler / alternative ways to move for people with limited range are vital.

[feenyxblue]

Okay, so this may not technically be strength training, but muscles are dumber than bricks and cannot tell the difference between your own bodyweight and actual weights.

So, may I recommend:

Hybrid Calisthenics

Hey everyone! My name is Hampton and my brand is Hybrid Calisthenics. You can find me by that name pretty much everywhere on social media.

He runs a YouTube channel where he goes over how to work your way up to more complex exercises (for instance, his pull-ups videos start with using a door jamb and moving your weight back and forth) so it's good for easing yourself into things.

[bundibird]

You also don't have to fork out for expensive weights and such if you don't want to/can't. Substitute with stuff you either already have at home or can get from the supermarket and build up the weight you can exercise with. 500 gram cans of butter beans then 750 gram bottles of pasta sauce. 1 litre drink bottle then your 1.5 litre milk bottle. 3 litre bulk-buy bottle of laundry detergent. Etc. One of my dogs weighs 13 kilos and I pick her up on the regular (to her delight). One weighs 16 kg and I pick him up too (to his consternation and mild disapproval). You don't have to fit out some fancy home gym before you can start strength training.

[theygender]

I second Hybrid Calisthenics, that's the program I use. It's run by one guy who's taken it upon himself to make exercising more accessible and it's completely free! Each exercise has different variations based on your ability and each variation is further divided into different levels of difficulty so you can work up to where you want to be. If you can't do a single push up for example then this program will help you work up to the point where you can, and if you're a master of push ups then there are more advanced body weight exercises you can tackle so you can keep moving forward in your training without stagnating. The routine offers a full body workout with absolutely no equipment required for the beginning levels. The only reason you would need to buy anything is if you want to work up to a full pull up, at which point you would need actual pull up rings

Here's his actual website which I feel is easier to navigate than the YouTube channel on its own and organizes things in a way that's easy to understand. He explains everything you need to know about the routine and each individual exercise has both a text description and a video tutorial

It is also used when the speaker is giving an order

When you are showing the purpose of an action formula =

The clause containing the purpose/ goal + Verb Stem + 도록 + clause containing the behaviour/ action that is taken. Clause 1 is giving the reason for why clause 2 happens.

요즘에 저는 몸이 더 건강하도록 가공식품을 덜 먹고 있어요. These days, I'm eating less processed foods to make my body healthier. (In order to make my body healthier, these days I am eating less processed foods.)

When the speaker is forcing the listener to do something the formula is:

학생: 네, 선생님. Yes Teacher.

칠판에 있는 질문에 답하도록하세요.

Answer the question. – Here the teacher is telling the student to answer the question.

When giving orders the formula is:

Use Verb stem + 도록 and place it at the end of a sentence.

e.g. …………...하도록.

이 병동에 들어오기 전에 손을 소독하도록. Disinfect your hands before entering this ward. Sanitize your hands before entering this ward.

이 병동에 들어오기 전에 손을 소독하도록.

손을 소독하도록 – Disinfect your hands – Here the command is given for the listener

to wash their hands before entering the ward. The command is ‘Sanitize/ Disinfect your hands.’

I will be creating a separate grammar post for these 2 grammar points in the near future so stay tuned for that! 😀

In Depth Body Vocab [pt. 3]

A lot of people liked PART TWO a lot! Thank you for all your kind comments and praise! PART THREE will cover the skin and necessary vocabulary underneath. Enjoy <3

*picture is of a chest (half skeleton, half muscle) and a skull (necessary vocabulary is highlighted)

뼈대 - skeleton

skeleton can also be translated as: 해골 and 골격

major differences between 뼈대, 해골, and 골격: 뼈대 and 해골 are the most similar. Sometimes 해골 can refer to only the skull (see skull for a better understanding) - both of these refer to dead skeletons. However, 해골 comes from 한자 ‘骸骨’. The word 골격 also comes from 한자 meaning 骨格 (frame, figure) or 骨骼 (skeleton).

근육 - muscle

뼈 - bone

인대 - ligament

살 - flesh (not skin, but the ‘meaty-like’ part; almost like fat)

관절 - joint

두개골 / 해골 - skull

major difference between 두개골 and 해골: both come from 한자 ( 두개골 = 頭蓋骨 // 해골 = 骸骨), however, 해골 (according to a Korean native speaker), refers to the picture of a skull. Whereas 두개골 refers to the actual, physical skull.

광대뼈 - cheekbone

아래턱뼈 - mandible (jaw)

코뼈 - nasal bone

Example Sentences:

다행히 뼈에는 이상이 없나요 - Fortunately, there is nothing wrong with the bone (the bone is alright/not broken).

우리 오빠는 축구를 하다 인대가 늘어났어요 - My brother pulled a ligament while playing soccer.

*picture is of an eye and a pair of lips with blemishes (necessary vocabulary is highlighted)

피부 - skin

여드름 - pimple / zit

기미 / 주근깨 - freckles

major difference between 기미 and 주근깨: 기미 refers to spots you get from the sun (not usually pleasant) while 주근깨 translated to actual freckles

다래끼 - sty

수염 - facial hair (this can be a mustache or beard)

애교 살 - the fatty pocket under the eyes

다크서클 - dark circles

점 - mole, spot

흉터 / 흠 - a scar, blemish

major difference between 흉터 and 흠: 흉터 refers to an actual scar made a long time ago whereas 흠 considers all types of blemishes or flaws on the skin

not to be confused with 상처 (injury/wound that JUST happened) and 멍자국 (bruise)

입슬허피스 / 입슬의 발진 - cold-sore

difference: 입슬허피스 = lip herpes VS 입슬의 발진 = lip rash

Example Sentences:

여드름을 짜다가 세균에 감염될 수도 있어요 - If you pop your pimples, you might spread germs.

저는 작녀에 얼굴에 있는 점들을 뺐어요 - I had a few moles removed.

Extra Vocab to Know:

주름(살) - wrinkles / crease

혹 - bump / lump

땀 - sweat

눈곱 - sleep (the goop in your eye when you wake up; eye boogies)

하품(하다) - sigh (to sigh)

방귀 - fart

트림(하다) - burp (to burp)

소름 - goosebumps / goose pimples

딸꾹질(하다) - hiccup (to hiccup)

I received an ask last night asking about the word for ‘throat’. You could use 목 to describe your throat but a more technical term would be 목구멍. However, this isn’t used as often. For example:

목이 아프다 - a sore throat 희주는 눈물에 목이 메였다 - tears clogged Hee-Ju’s throat

Hope that clears up some confusion! 

Happy Learning :)

Level 2 / Lesson 7: Adverbs

안녕! Hey everyone! Today we have a pretty basic lesson all about adverbs! Adverbs in Korean are pretty straightforward and there’s not a ton to say about them, so I’m just pulling a post from my Instagram and putting it here so y’all can see it! Of course, feel free to ask any questions if you have any!

Level 10 / Lesson 4: -다니 part 2

안녕하세요! Hey everyone! A little while ago I posted part 1 about -다니, and here’s part 2! This part is a little more complicated than the first, but I’ll do my best to make it a little easier to digest for y’all! Let’s get into it! 

Another Usage: -ㄴ다니

In the first part of this lesson I mentioned how -다니 is made up of -다고 and -(으)니까. You probably know that -다고 is what you attach to verbs and adjectives to quote what someone said. This is part of the second usage of -다고. Let’s look at a formula first:

[verb stem] + ㄴ다니

Now let’s look at two similar but different sentences:

그 사람은 한국어를 잘하다니 믿을 수 없어요.

그 사람은 한국어를 잘한다니 믿을 수 없어요. 

These both can be translated as “I can’t believe that he can speak Korean.” But I want to draw your attention to the italicized parts of these sentences: 잘하다니 vs. 잘한다니. What’s the difference?

The sentence with 잘하다니, as we learned in part 1, just means “I can’t believe he can speak Korean.” Maybe you met this “he” and was conversing with him in Korean and then you’re talking to another friend about how good he is at speaking the language

The one with 잘한다니, however, is a little different. Because you have -ㄴ다니 attached, you’re quoting what someone else said, and are reacting to that quote. Maybe you’re talking to your friend and they tell you that someone from the US can speak Korean really well. Therefore, you heard that he speaks Korean, and are reacting to hearing this news. Go!Billy describes it as like saying “Wow, to hear that he can speak Korean!” while the first sentence is just “Wow, I can’t believe he can speak it!” Let’s see another example:

개가 바람을 피운다니! = To hear that he was having an affair! 

Again, you’re reacting to hearing some wild news. Really, there’s not a huge difference between this sentence and 개가 바람을 피우다니 in my opinion – you’re reacting to the prospect of this person having an affair. I guess there could be an important distinction depending on the context, but I think y’all get the idea :)

One More (Complicated) Thing

So we spoke about the slight difference between [verb] + 다니 and [verb] + ㄴ다니. But what about stuff in the past tense and adjectives? Let’s look at these two sentences:

개가 바람을 피웠다니! = To think that he was having an affair! / To hear that he was having an affair!

그걸 그렇게 비싸다니! = I can’t believe that thing is so expensive! / To hear that that thing is so expensive! 

We know that when you’re quoting adjectives or something in the past tense, you simply add -다고, NOT -ㄴ다니 like you would with verbs. As a result, here, they can be reactions to either of the two: seeing the thing happening, or hearing about the thing happening! It’s ambiguous! But again, the distinction is usually pretty negligible I think, and you might be able to tell which interpretation is appropriate depending on the context. Hope that all makes sense – I highly recommend Go!Billy’s video for a little more clarity!  

Other Add-Ons 

If you’re familiar with quoting in Korean, you know that there’s more than just -다고 and -라고. There’s also -냐고, which is used for quoting questions, and -자고 for quoting suggestions (as in quoting someone saying “let’s do smth”). I recommend checking out my Quoting Continued lesson so this part will make more sense!

Likewise, you can use those other quoting forms like you use -다니 and -라니 – you can say -냐니 and -자니. Let’s see some examples!

내가 바람을 피우냐니! = He asked me if I was cheating on him! / To think that he asked me if I was having an affair!

미국의 수도 뭐냐니 정말 어이가 없네요. = It’s really ridiculous that he asked me what the capital of the US is.

은택 오빠가 사귀자니! = [I can’t believe that] Eun-taek asked me to date him! / To think that Eun-taek said “let’s date”!

같이 밥 먹자니 기분이 나아졌어. = I feel better now that you suggested we eat together.
