Why does exercise help keep your joints stable?

Depends what you mean by making joints "stable"... Heavy exercise (like say jogging) generally speaking damages joints. Light exercise (like say walking or swimming) don't cause any damage.

Exercise can help maintain muscles and tendons which are needed to operate a joint, but it doesn't improve the internals of a joint. Exercise is also known to improve co-ordination and balance which would make you generally more "stable".

If you want to improve the quality of your joints then make sure your diet includes the recommended amount of fish oils.

Is running 2 miles a day enough to get fit?

Yes. Running at all is good for you (period) but running/walking 2 miles a day will get you shaped up and fit. now you won't see results the first day, it may take weeks to notice anything, but you will definitly feel better after each day after running! if you run two miles a day but still eat what you want, you will probably not loose or gain weight. but if you cut out the junk food and just eat 3 full meals a day and still run 2 miles a day, usually burning about 250 calories each 2 miles, than you can definily loose at least a pound per week, that being how hard you push yourself, an how much of the extra snacks and junk food yu cut out!! but you will get the hang of it, and eventually start to loose the pounds!

hope this helped! :)

What exercises burn belly fat for obese kids?

There is not any exercise that will specifically burn belly fat because if you have fat in the belly area, there is extra fat in other areas of the body. Burning calories will reduce fat all over the body. Some exercises that will strengthen the muscles in the abdomen and make you belly look smaller are using a hula hoop about 10 minutes a day, doing crunches, and simply tightening the muscles and holding for as long as possible. The will tighten the muscles and make you look slimmer.

Can a woman do a pull up?

HI THERE

i can easily do a one handed pull up. i do them daily. usually using only my pinky finger. sometimes i cba to do that and i use my toes, though this is not the easiest method - only for trained professionals like me. you can try it with your teeth but last time i did that, one fell out. now people call me buck tooth.

i guess this would be good advice if i actually knew for certain whether i was a woman or not.... cant be sure though. i do have all the vital parts.. just not sure about internally.

goodluck with your pull ups, hope your teeth stay in. my dentist saved me though so keep working hard. its worth the pain.

love
mrs chucky buck tooth.

Hi mrs chucky buck tooth.

i would just like to offer you some advice... instead of using fingers, teeth etc maybe try wrapping your fanny flaps around the bar and then using a suitable lubricant/ glue squeeze as hard as you can.

hope this helps

Why do your muscles hurt when you exercise?

it depends on what you are doing and whether you have been inactive for a long time if you've been inactive for a while it could be that your muscles have microtears - small tears in the muscle that will repair itself within a few days - your body does this to ensure it is working in the most effective way if you have not been inactive for a long time perhaps you were working at a very high intensity and have experienced lactic acid build up, which is actually a build up of protons causing your muscles to become acidic.

What is the effect of strenuous exercise on the body?

It doesn't. The goal of homeostasis is to keep your internal body stable. Exercise doesn't affect the stability of your internal body.

wikidude1 > please read the note i attached in discussion about this answer.

EDIT: Exercise causes a wide range of things within the internal environment of the body. Some of these include increased heart rate, blood pressure, etc. Once exercise has ceased, the functions of homeostasis will bring the environment back to optimum stability.

--- sorry but exercise can definitely impact homeostasis in serious ways. Excessive exercise can cause damage to structures like tendons, muscles, joints and ligaments etc... As well as many top athletic women develop a condition called amenorrhoeawhere by menstruation is ceased in order to conserve energy. This condition can later lead onto osteoporosis. - These are all caused by exercise and i would be surprised if you believed these would not disrupt the body's normal homeostasis (regulation of the internal and external environment of the body).

What is the difference between active range of motion and passive range of motion?

Your range of motion is the usual movements of your arms and legs and joints. Swinging your arm in a circle. Bending and straightening your elbows and knees and hips. Moving your hands and feet up and down. Wiggling your fingers. Active range of motion (AROM) is when you move your arm or leg, etc. You contract and release your muscles yourself. Passive range of motion is usually provided to patients that are bedbound or weak, example a stroke or dementia patient. It can be provided by anyone (family, nurse, nurse aid, physical therapist). It is where you take the persons arm or leg, hand or foot, and you move the appendage in a way that would simulate usual movement. The purpose of passive range of motion (PROM) is to prevent contracture, or the stiffening of joints and muscles, and slow muscle wasting. Passive range of motion would not generally build muscle, but it is good for someone who is unable to perform active range of motion.

Holding your breath is anaerobic exercise, which leads to greater muscle mass, so yes, you could, though I never have.

However, you need oxygen for aerobic exercise, by definition, such as swimmng, walking and running.

Holding your breath is not an anaerobic exercise, it becomes anaerobic after a certain period of time when the deposites of oxygen finish. be careful what you write please
