This type of fitness is considered to be aerobic. It is cardio. An example would be running at a pace that you can hold for a long period of time, an hour or even longer. Explosive activities are not included in this area.
Why does your pulse rate increase with exercise?
Becouse during the execise, the muscles need energy for doing their job. This energy is obtained by carbohydrate or fat burning, and for this reaction oxygen is needed. The more intensive the execise is, more quantity of oxygen it needs. For carrying more oxygen to the muscle, the heart needs to increase the number of beats per minit. This way more blood (carrying oxygen and carbohydrates) can be transported to the muscle.
Certain drugs, particularly fluoroquinolones, a class of antibiotics that includes the popular drug Cipro, can cause tendon rupture. Other than that, tendons usually tear due to overstress.
Fitness could be a number of things. I think it's kind of like art, there are no set rules and there are so many different areas to explore. Some people train in certain ways for sports performance. Some people use fitness to improve their cardiovascular heath and there's so much more. Fitness helps you do whatever physical activity you're trying to do better and safer.

How do you build up the outer lower portion of your chest at home?
Dumbell press and flys. If you don't have a bench at home to do these on just use the floor. It's not as good as a bench, but it will work. Don't forget push ups.
The method one would use in a weight room would be "decline bench press with either dumbells or a barbell. Dumbell "flys" in the decline position would totally isolate the outer lower portion of your chest. Benchpressing can be done: level (most common), inclined (to build upper portion of the chest) and decline (to build the lower portion of the chest). So, to achieve this at home you would want to buy and use a benchpress that is adjustable to the various positions. If this is not an option you could try doing pushups in an inclined position, feet on the floor and hands on chairs (or other stable raised surfaces).

What is meant by lose belly fat fast?
Belly fat is exactly what it sounds like. It is just fat that has built up on the muscles in your stomach. Anything that hangs or is jiggly when you bend over is belly fat. When they say reducing belly fat they are trying to burn off all the extra fat on your stomach.
Should you eat protein before or after a workout?
Before and after! My trainer says a good soy protein shake before helps my body work out at an optimal level, after is good for rebuilding the muscle from the workout.
AnswerYes it is a good idea to consume protein before and after a workout but it should be known that the most crucial time, is after your workout. During the 3 hours after your workout is essentially your muscle making window of opportunity. This is when your muscles are basically starving for protein and makes the most use of them. I suggest a fast acting protein such as whey immediately after, like within 15 minutes! Typically, this is a protein powder that you mix with water or milk. Sometime after that, within the 3 hour window consume a good whole food meal containing at least 30 grams of protein and 50-80 grams of complex carbs such as white rice, pasta, baked potato, etc. The reason I suggest the use of a complex carbs at this time is not to make you fat, because it won't. Complex carbs will raise you insulin levels and shoot all those good nutrients through your bloodstream straight to repairing your muscles. It's also a good time to enjoy that plate of spaghetti or rice. If you are looking to gain weight then eating pasta, brown rice or a baked potatoe is a great suggestion however if your goal is to lose weight I suggest eating half of what you would for rice or pasta and replace it with broccoli and green beans.Why is phisycal exercise important?

Does exercise give you more energy?
Every process within the body requires energy to perform it, even thinking and breathing utalise energy. Energy allows us to perform movements including exercise. Think of it like this: - The food we eat and the fluid we drink is like petrol for a car - Our body's are like the motor of a car and extract the energy from food Without petrol (That is without ENERGY ) our Body does not run, Just like a car wouldn't.
