Cultural Tip

In Spanish‑speaking gyms, the word 'estiramiento' is preferred over the English loanword 'stretching'. When speaking with a trainer, using the anatomical term 'isquiotibiales' shows you know the muscle group, but many people simply say 'las piernas' (the legs). Keep the tone friendly; adding 'por favor' or a smile makes the request sound polite.
