Did you know building a snowman is a full-body workout? ⛄️💪

🔻Fitness trainers say that just one hour of sculpting a snowman can replace a proper gym session! It engages all your major muscle groups — arms, shoulders, and core — with constant bending, squatting, pushing, and lifting.

🔻And in the cold, you burn calories even faster thanks to thermogenesis: up to 300 calories in an hour of snowy fun!🔥

This is my favourite kind of January workout! How about yours?

🔻Лепить снеговика

• Зажраться (perf.)
[za-zhra-tsa]
🔸Conjugation

🔻This slang verb means to pig out, to become insufferably spoiled, arrogant, or fussy due to excessive food, comfort, wealth, or success.

🔻The prefix ЗА- in this verb indicates the beginning and completion of a process leading to a negative, excessive state.

• Жрать (vulgar: to eat/devour) metaphorically suggests greedily consuming comforts.
• ЗАжраться = to have gone too far in that consumption and to have become stuck in the resulting bad state (arrogance, spoiled behaviour).

🔻Think of the prefix ЗА- as marking the point of crossing over into a negative condition (and staying there):

• Зазнаться (perf.)
[za-zna-tsa]
To become conceited

• Зазвездиться (slang, perf.)
[za-zviz-di-tsa]
To get a big head from fame

Наш кот совсем зажрался!
Our cat is living the high life! = Our cat has it too good! = Our cat has become totally spoiled!
