Hi

Everyone and welcome back to buzword mix

欢迎回来

新词特异

Now for those of you

Who have been following me on lifestream

You know that a recently lost a bunch of weight

And i became finally

I became a frequent gim goer

So today's bus word

So would like like talk about the word d jijjunky

It's not so much of a new bus word

Nonetheless you do see them everywhere jim junkkey

所以我们今天的bus word 是是jim junky

Now this is the type of person

You definitely seen maybe at your local gym at six am or maybe on your social media feed posting at a gym

It's like theyeither ther their way way the gym m theare at the gym

Already this is a gym

Junky

Junkkey 这个词本身是指的上瘾的人

Especially

When it refers to someone addicted to drugs

一个瘾君子文化的管它叫junkies

But when you combine it with the word gym

You get someone who's addicted to gym to working out

To exercising

这就是健身成瘾者

We're talking about the person who feels physically and emotionally wrong

If they miss even a day at the gym

The one who schedules their entire life around their work out routine

The one who parks gym clothes for a weekend trip

Like most people would pack underwear now before anyone gets offended let me be clear

This isn't necessarily an insult

Although you have to word junky in fact for many people being called a gym

Junky is practically a badge of honor

虽然junky 这个词听上去不好听

但是对于真正的jim junkkey 来说

你叫他jim junky 简直可以是batch of honor

是个荣誉勋章

So let's talk about that

Like we said junkey means someone who's an addict

And in our culture addiction usually has negative connotations

So is gym addiction a real thing

No in scientifically speaking what the answer is actually

Yes

It has a name exercise dependence

这个叫运动依赖

And it's more common than you think this is why some people would say they need to exercise every day

Otherwise they just fill out of sorts

So let's look at the science for a moment

When you work out

Your brain releases chemicals called endorphins

这个叫内腓肽

These are natural painkillers

And also produce feelings of euphoria

Which means you're very very happy

The famous runners high

And this is when you you keep on running

You feel that high moment

Where you are really really happy

And you really enjoy yourself

所以your brain also releases things like dopamman

Sattonin and neupe pnefrion

另外几个呢

是多巴胺

血清素和去甲肾上腺素

All the feel good addictive so jim junkey this chemical cocktail

This chemical combination becomes well addictive so their brain starts to crave that and dorphin rush the way someone else mcrave coffee or chocolate or yeah drugs so calling them gym junkkey actually does have scientific background

And now let's look at the culture

Jim junkies didn't just appear out of nowhere

The rise of this phenomenon is deeply connected to the explosure of gym culture

Over the past say two three decades

Think about it twenty years ago

Gyms were these intimiating sweaty places with serious body builders

I remember when i was little my mom went to um a gym once

And she complained about the fact that she was the only woman

There and her trainer actually gave her really heavy weights

That the weits more for male body builders

But today gym are social hubs

They are trendy

And they look unintiminating

They look cool

They have cafes

Smoothy

Bars

Group classes

That feel like dance parties going to the gym is no longer just about fitness

It's a lifestyle and identity

A community and social media

While social media really fuelled this whole culture

They have created a whole ecosystem of what we call fit fluencers

Influencer 不是网红吗

Fit fluencer 就是健身网红

Scrolling through your feed

You will see perfectly timed phos of people during a workout

Their glistening was sweat

Usually was a lot of these inspirational captions like no days off

Every day are leg day for the gym jkey

These posts aren't just inspiration

Though their validation they are proof that they belong

嗯

To this gym junky tribe

But here's where it gets complicated

When does dedication become obsession

When does healthy living cross the line into something perhaps not so healthy

Well i'm sure

You've ve en en photos men posing their impossibly big muscles

Well and to which we often say it's this really attractive

It's this is we

We have word muscscthis moufiy

And which what huggbasically it's a real psychological condition

It's like you always see yourself as too small too weak

Even if you have huge muscles

No matter

How much muscle you have

It's never enough

That is the mental issue called muscle dismopha a this why

Why especispecially en en would use curdie u 很who to get these huge muscles

That to most people look honestly a bit strange

But maybe you say well i go to the gym um

But i don't cve big muscles well then as a regular gym goor

You might also feel what is called rest day anxiety

这个叫休息日焦虑

For a true gym junky rest stto are jinture now feel guilty lazy like their falling behind

I have to admit i'm not a gym junky by any stretch of imagination

But even i feel resrest anxiety ty now i exercise

Practically

Every day i don't go to the gym

Every day i go to the gym like four five times a week

But i have to exercise in some form otherwise i do feel guilty

I feel lazy

But for gym goers if you you have stday anxiety

You're ignoring ing

What every trainer

Every doctor tells you that muscles need time to repair and grow

嗯

And this is where the addiction really shows itself when you can't take a day off without feeling really anxious

You're no longer working out for health

You're working out

Because you're afraid

Then what happens if you stop

And when you push too hard without rest

Then you enter the danger zone over training

这个叫过度训练

It can even be a syndrome

This is when the body literally breaks down from too much exercise your cortisoal as sky high

And you're not recovering symptoms include chronic fatigue decreased performance in somnia depression

And a weakened imune system

Actually i do have a gym junkkey friend who often complained to me about the fact

That she could be even more suseceptable to things like cold which to meet really defeats the poll purpose of going to the gym

To exercise and become more fit and healthier

And this is the irony of ironies

The gym junkque who started working out to be healther

Ends up making themselves

Sick 嗯嗯

So what do we do with this term gym junkkey like many boswords ds is complicated

It can be a term of enderement

Or like a nickname among friends who shared the passion

It can be a joke that you make about yourself

But it can also be a red flag

A signal that something might be out of balance

If you recognize yourself in this description

Ask yourself a few questions

Can you take a rest day without feeling guilty

Do you enjoy your workouts or do you just feel like you must do them is your gym time enhancing your life or replacing it

There's no shaming loving the gym or loving anything for that matters

The shame would be letting it love you back in all the wrong ways

And that's our episode on gym junkkey

Let's move on to the sample sentence

My friend mark is such a gym junky

That he planned his entire vacation around finding a hotel with a twenty four hour fitness center
