What are the effects of exercise on the cardiovascular system why does the heart increase in size after regular exercise and why do you pump more blood around the body when you exercise?

If I explain it in a way that you can associate it to yourself, it may help you understand how and why it happens. When you increase activity levels, like going for a jog, you need energy, right?

Without energy, your muscles cannot contract, and in order to get energy we have to eat. To make it simple, we eat, our body breaks down that food and converts it to energy so that our muscles can contract. But... our muscles also require oxygen to contract, so we have to breathe -- the energy and oxygen combined allow muscle contraction.

The oxygen we breathe in travels through our lungs where it combines with blood from the heart, and is carried to our muscles by red blood cells. (thats how the lungs are involved).

This is super simplified, but now you have the ingredients. Now look at it as though its your car -- you can only go so far on a tank of gas before you have to refuel. Well, as you exercise, you are burning "gas" (oxygen), and your lungs must work harder to get more oxygen to replace what you used, and because your lungs are taking in more oxygen (which is carried by red blood cells to muscles), you heart will work harder to move that oxygen to your muscles more quickly.

Answer

Respiratory system exercise not only helps your lungs to hold more air, but it can keep you from becoming short of breath. Blood vessels surround the air sac in your lungs too.

Other alternatives are femimore pills. Do they work? We haven't heard anything good about them but, again, do your research. === ===

Should you arch your back during exercise?

It depends on your goal.

Powerlifters use a full body movement to maximize the amount of muscle used in the bench press. Their body position uses a substantial arch in the lower back. Look at pictures of powerlifting meets to see the the range of the arch. A proper powerlifting position and alignment takes good instruction and practice.

Bodybuilders use the bench press to isolate the pectorals (chest) as well as the triceps. Many times a bodybuilder will lay "flat-backed" on the bench with feet on the bench (not the floor) as well. Many bodybuilders believe this helps them concentrate more on isolating the chest. Although most strength coaches would advise you to keep your feet planted on the ground.

Bodybuilding is typically safer to learn on your own with all sorts of material on the internet.

How do you strengthen your thigh muscles?

Squats target your thighs and gluts. Whether standing still or lunging these are great for building powerful thigh muscles. Sprinting also helps build your quads. (Ever check out the legs of any sprinters?)... :) hot!

In college to strengthen my quads and therefore protect my knees, our trainer had me stand on a thick book or step with one leg and simply lower and raise my body without requiring me to bend my other leg. This is a nice way to begin building that muscle if you should have weaker knees. Lunges can be painful for someone that has bad knees...

Why can't you lose weight even though you exercise and eat healthy?

I found the best way to loose weight was to eat every2 -3 hrs and it regulates your metabolism. I ate salad, cheese, tuna, apples, cucumbers & carrotes fat free ranch dressing. i used small 2- oz. container. I would eat as much cabbage and drink plenty of water is the key to it all. I lost 25 lbs in 1 month. ice cold water boosts your metabolism

It may be worth investigating the Low GI approach to eating. This is an entirely different and safe way to approach weight loss and is incredibly successful and logical. You can't lose too much weight either. Neither will you be in danger of missing out on nutrition. It has been successful for many people including me. The important thing is fuel your body for an extended time, and not to set up a situation where your body thinks you are starving and actually stores fat.
