stomach muscles are mostly machine-less.(not required) You work the abb's by doing sit-ups, crunches, push-ups(a little),Running, drop downs(When you hold onto 2 bars and drop down with your legs behind you and push back up, repeat over and over). A machine that would help, would be one that you hold the handle to your right and left, and sitting down. You would pull that handle(attached to a rope or wire) while turning only ur upper body in the opposite direction, left handle you'd turn right and pull(keeping the handle close to center of chest.)

Does running burn more calories than biking?

When it comes to burning calories, your heart rate is much more important than what it is that you are doing. If you can reach and sustain the same heart rate for the same amount of time you will burn pretty much the same amount of calories regardless of activity.

Since jogging will lead to a higher heart rate than walking, you will, minute for minute, burn more calories jogging.

Is a 10 minute 1.5 mile a good time?

I'm 15 years old and I can match that time. However, my record for that distance would be about 9 minutes and 10 seconds. I also have friends my age who are much better at running than me but that's mostly due to their size (I'm much smaller).

Well I may not know much but my time for 1.5 mile is 8 minutes as a record and about 8.5 average. I am 13 and 5'1.

A 10 minute time is an above average time with the average being about 12-13 mins, "Well I may not know much but my time for 1.5 mile is 8 minutes as a record and about 8.5 average. I am 13 and 5'1." <<<Highly unlikely unless you are in full-time competitive training, an adult running competitively would have an extremely high chance of winning at anytime around 8 mins. Average for UK Infantry soldier is 9.15 mins after training.

Why is it important to breath through your nose and out through your mouth when you exercise?

Breathing in this manner helps you to breathe into your diaphragm, instead of just the upper part of the lungs, which is what mose people tend to do. Proper breathing should be deep breaths into the diaphragm and into the lowest part of the lung, thereby filling them up as much as possible.

One way to tell if you're breathing properly is your gut - when breathing deep into the lungs, you'll feel like it's actually filling up the lower part of your gut when you do so. The incorrect way will feel like you're breathing shallow, and you'll get out of breath faster when you exercise.

Things to Consider When Exercising in the Cold

Exercising in the cold can be a good thing if you do it correctly and safely. For example, cold weather can increase your metabolic rate by your shivering and also by an increase in adrenaline. Also, it seems that the cold will push you into a stage of increased energy. Have you ever jumped in a pool when it was freezing cold? Wasn't it your first instinct to move around quickly in order to warm yourself up and get adjusted to the cool temperature? See, it can't be too bad of a thing to exercise in the cold...

Although several precautions should be taken when doing so...

Exercise in cold weather or conditions will increase your likeliness of acquiring a cold or sickness, especially when you start to sweat and there is a cold wind present. It is best to wear a toboggan or earmuffs to cover your ears.

But believe it or not, one of the most commonly made mistakes is overdressing. It is good to layer, but not wear THICK layers. A thermal undershirt, a long sleeved water repellent exercise top, and perhaps a sweat shirt on top with tight jogging shorts and maybe a pair of sweat pants underneath or above. It is best to layer so that you can shed layers but not wear extremely thick layers. You will get warm if you are exercising hard enough and it's never good to overheat your body when exercising.

Your hands and feet should be kept extra warm... even more so than other parts of your body. This is where you are more likely to experience frostbite. Some warning signs of frost bite are paleness, numbness, and loss of feeling or stinging sensation.

It may not seem like exercising in the cold is as challenging or requires as much fluids and energy as exercising in the dead heat of the summer, but it will require just as much energy and therefore just as much fluids. Make sure to hydrate well even before and AFTER exercising in the cold.

Keep in mind if there is any wind blowing and if you are running or cycling or such to plan on ending your work out and cooling off the sweat before you turn facing the wind. Allow it to blow on your back while doing your actual work out.

Why do people pant after exercise?

It is not because your lungs cannot handle the exercise. Lungs take in plenty of oxygen to complete most tasks, no matter how strenuous the exercise. The problem is getting that oxygen to the muscles and that is the job of the heart! As we learned previously, blood carries oxygen through the body, but a weak heart with a low stroke volume pumps less blood insufficiently. The body has to have oxygen; because of this your body reacts and causes you to breathe more rapidly and harder in order to receive more oxygen for the cells and muscles. Therefore, some of your classmates breathe more heavily when they run around the track because they have a lower stroke volume and low aerobic capacity. Or they have astma and there throat clogs up and they cannot get enough oxygen in their lungs.
