How many times a week should you exercise?

It all depends on your goals and where you are at phsically.

If you are wanting to lose weight, the more the better. Exercise isn't based so much on "times a day" but more so the duration of your workout.

If you want to lose weight, i'd say AT LEAST an hour of cardio/aerobic activity. If you want to maintain your weight or gain muscle, you might want to set up a weight training schedule with a trainer or there are many good training regimens in HealthRX or Oxygen Magazine.

It all depends on what you're going for, how you feel about yourself, and how motivated you are. Exercise is good! all in moderation and with proper Rest time, you can achieve your goals :)

Does creatine make you build muscle fast?

Creatine actually causes your muscle cells to absorb more water which makes them look bigger which gives us an illusion of extra size and mass. Effectively speaking, once you cut down on your creatine intake, the muscles would start releasing the excess water and you may end up feeling your muscles shrink in size. But, one good thing about creatine is that, it helps you gain that extra strength needed to do heavy workouts. Though it only packs water into our muscles, a properly administered dosage/cycle of creatine can help you in gaining weight and strength.

How does a 11-year-old get 6-pack abs?

Get to a healthy weight is your priority. This should at least get you a 2-pack. Do this by always eating vegetables and fruit, and eating less meat. Or just become a vegetarian (like me). Then work out on your abs- push ups, planks, and 6 inches. Get a CONSTANT workout schedule. This works out your abs better than inconstantly doing a huge number of abs only 4 times a week.

What is the average time to jog a mile for a 13 year old?

I would say 8 minutes maybe 7 and a half.

An average time for a girl 13 years old is probably around 9 to 10 mins. However, if this girl is a runner and in training for track or cross I would say the average is closer to 6:20 to 8mins, depending on the talent. You'll have girls even faster than that but then thats not really averages, its too far from the bell curve.

Why should you not use partners when performing stretching exercise?

Static stretching followed by cardio or anaerobic activity can be dangerous (FYI). It's best to warm up slowly and to stretch at the end of your workout (if you stretch at all). Using a partner is particularly dangerous because they can't feel when you are over-stretched. It's already dangerous to use static stretching. It compounds the problem when you add a partner to the mix.
