Definitely Not. Stay home and recover first. Almost all exercises put a significant amount of stress and strain on our rib cage and working out while having a cracked rib may cause the injury to get worse.

Stay back home, take rest for a few weeks, recover fully and then hit the gym...

What the average time for mile run by a 17 year old?

Longer than the average time for a 17 year old male. :-) I suppose it would be about in between 35 and 45 minutes, running about 1 mile in 7-9 minutes. If you were really fast, you could do it in 25 minutes and if you were really slow you could do it in about 55 minutes but the average is 40 minutes.

How do you get a nice round jiggly butt?

The best way to get a tight, firm butt and strong thighs is through weight training. Cardio exercise does not tone and sculpt your muscles the way weight training does.

In my exercise routine, I use 5 different weight machines for my lower body. I start with the Leg Press machine, which targets your quads (your front thigh muscles) and glutes (your butt). Next I use the Glute machine, where you face forward and push your leg into the air behind you. This targets your butt and hamstrings (your back thigh muscles). Then the hamstring curl machine, because I find that the Glute machine does not do an adequate job on my hamstrings. Then the inner thigh machine, and the outer thigh machine (which also targets your glutes).

These 5 machines will give you a firm, perky butt and curvy, shapely hips and thighs.

How far is 3414 steps?

That will vary greatly depending on a person's stride. A person's stride is very much related to their height. But two people that are the same height can have very different strides. A male will generally have a longer stride than a female of the same height.

I would say from a mile and a half to two miles, though.

How do you get a firm tummy?

The best way to keep a flat stomach is a combination of eating right and exercise. Some foods can bloat you up even when you are not fat - to loose fat you can do cardio to tone up, you can do sit ups and weight training.

What will keep you tummy flat are the abdominal muscles but you must also avoid excessive fat in the area. Abdominal muscles can be trained and developed through targeted workouts and the diet must be a low-fat diet.

Also try belly dancing it will improve your tummy and it'll be in a really good shape.

How many laps on an indoor track equals 1 mile?

"4 laps equals 1 mile"

Since the standard for tracks built in the last 20+ years is 400M, then you must go 9.344 meters further than 4 laps. Over 90% of the outdoor tracks in existence are only 400M and will thus require the extra 9.344 meters to equal a true mile.

This is why most track meets only run the 1500M or the 1600M and not the mile. Unfortunately, most people erroneously assume that 4 laps equal a mile, due to older tracks being built to a non-metric standard of 440 yards.

If you want to finish on the common start/finish line and you'd like to run/walk a mile, then you should start at the beginning of the 4x400M relay exchange zone, which is 10 meters before the finish line. By doing that you will run/walk about 1 meter more than 1 mile, but you won't be short of a mile, as you would be if you only do 4 laps.

How much will gym equipment cost?

I think not that much well depends a lot of the size of the building.

Now once you have that its pretty much easy from there,

Again depend on size, type, and services of the gym.

You can still make money from a gym with classes, female are more interested,

make studios and hire teachers and charge by the head.

Normal gyms could be from £50000 to £500000 but you can limit on that on equipment.

Now you need cardio and weight training equipment so balance it out see what the area is like and which type of people are more interested in the gym.

now after budgeting all these then you need to know how much money you have to put towards the look and design. Cause if it look s**t then no one would come to workout. Have a clean spacious layout and have a attractive name for both men and women.

So roughly i would say excluding the building £250000 - £600000

How many calories do you burn swimming 1.4km?

It depends on a whole lot of factors... such as how long it takes you, what stroke you use. I swim 1km three or four times a week - and it takes me about 25-30 minutes and I do mostly freestyle. I log my swims at a swimming for fitness website and it calculates roughly my calorie usage. For me, a 1km uses about 220-230 calories. If I combine it with a bike ride to and from the pool (4km total) it burns an extra 150 calories. Keep on swimming :)

Kundalini Yoga is scientifically designed to bring about a rise of the semi-dormant power of Kundalini which normally resides at the base of the spine upwards throught Sushumna, which is a subtle nerve channel in the base of the spinal column.

As this Great Cosmic Power rises and activates the various psychic centres in turn, different states of consciousness and abilities are given to the yogi.

How often should you work your calves?

This all depends on whether the lifter is trying to build muscle size and strength or improve strength endurance (in essence, powerlifting vs. lifting for reps). If powerlifting, I tend to do 3 sets of 15 with heavy weight. When I lift for reps, I usually remove about 100 pounds (around 20-25% of your powerlifting weight) and lift for a timed minute as fast as I can for 3 sets. Also note that using freeweights for calf-raises is much more beneficial than using the nautilous. or leg press machine, as it requires balance and helps build stabilizer muscles that otherwise can't be worked. The best method for performing free-weight calf-raises is with the bar and weights across the shoulders as if you were going to squat, but just raise yourself on your toes keeping your legs straight and about shoulder-width apart.
