How do you know if your muscles grow?

Tricky question there, basically you won't know because the muscle fibres will get stronger and bigger but until you train for hypertrophy (increase in muscle girth) then you won't know. You will only know after a few months. Be careful because the localised fat stores could disappear and give the impression of the muscles getting bigger. Other than that, if you are getting muscular soreness everytime you train your muscles will adapt to that and will get stronger so keep training mate.

Netball is started with a Centre pass. Only the centre and the opposing centre are allowed in the centre third. All other players will stand outside the third and wait for the whistle. The ball must be received or touched in the Centre Third. After a goal is scored the defending team will take the centre pass and the game is restarted with the teams taking alternate centre passes. If there is an interception by the opposing team and a goal is scored this team can take the centre pass.

How does a 15 year old girl get abs?

There are two things you need to have visible abs:

- muscles

- and very little subcutaneous (=under the skin) fat, so that the muscles become visible

The first is easy, do a ridiculous amount of crunches/situps evey day and you'll soon have the muscles.

The second is hard, because we are meant to have some subcutaneous fat.

It's our insulation, our padding and our energy reserve. Losing it to the point where abs becomes really visible means that our immune system gets weakened, we can get difficulties in keeping warm, and generally our energy levels drop.

It's doable, but not really recommended.

For a woman it's doubly difficult, as the breasts are also made up of a large part of subcutaneous fat. Losing enough to get abs will make your breasts shrink too. Having both natural abs and natural large breasts really isn't possible.

How long would you have to walk to burn 72 calories?

This entirely depends on the pace at which you are walking, and what condition your body is in. Someone who is very fit, and very trim, will not burn 72 calories as quickly as someone who is not very fit or trim when walking at the same speed.

Lets say you were to walk at 3mph, which is about an average walking pace for many people. Based on your average weight, and walking at a speed of 3 miles an hour, you will burn calories at the following rate:

  • 130 to 140 pounds - 3.5 calories burned per minute
  • 145 to 155 pounds - 4.0 calories burned per minute
  • 160 to 170 pounds - 4.5 calories burned per minute
  • 175 to185 pounds - 5.0 calories burned per minute
  • 190 to 200 pounds - 5.5 calories burned per minute

So if you were to weigh 150lbs, it would take 18 minutes of walking. 18 minutes multiplied by 4 calories a minute equals 72 calories burned. Give or take.
