My name is Marco.
And my name is Catherine.
And today, I think we're hitting the gym, Marco.
We need to be healthy.
We've gained weight over the winter, I think.
I think so.
And being in an office, you know, it doesn't give you much opportunity to go and exercise and really get a lot of work.
Exactly.
So that's why we're going to the gym on this occasion.
We're going to be pumping some iron.
We're going to be working out.
So why don't we take a look at Vocabulary Preview and see what this means.
All right, so to pump iron, what does that mean?
All right, well, to pumping iron means lifting weights.
Okay, so we're pumping iron, we're lifting weights.
Because, you know, weights are made of iron.
Right.
That's what makes them so heavy.
All right, so we're pumping iron.
