Exercise

It depends on the size of the swimming pools. If the pool is small, you need to swim many laps to get to 1/4 mile. 1/4 mile is 440 yards.

The physiological benefits of regular physical physical activity include reduced risk of heart attack, prevention of hypertension, improved blood profile, improved skeletal mass, improved weight control, prevention of diabetes, increased life span, an improved immunity to disease, improved mental health and stress management, and improved physical fitness. The major components of physical fitness are cardiorespiratory endurance, flexibility, muscular strength, and muscular endurance.

Yes, it is possible to have less muscle mass than a body builder but still to lift far more. Body builders, such as Ronnie Coleman and the renowned Arnold Schwarzenegger, strive to sculpt their bodies for purely cosmetic reasons. They are strong, certainly, but strength is not their endeavor.

To support my claim that . . .

"Yes, it is possible to have less muscle mass than a body builder but still to lift far more."

. . . I will provide you with links to two youtube videos. The first shows Ronnie Coleman bench pressing 495 x 5. Look at how huge he is. The second video shows another man, who is still muscular, but much smaller than Coleman, benching 500 x 10.

Lastly, I will leave you with a relatively skinny wrestler, bicep curling 50 pound dumbbells (per arm) with good form. Look at how strong he is for his size!

I hope this helps :)

Yes - it has many benefits, from maintaining (or helping you obtain) a good body weight, strengthening the skeleton and muscles, reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke, improving mood and overall just making you feel better and be more physically able to do what you want.

Periodization can be used in training cyclists. Periodization can be used in weight lifters. Periodization can be used in terms of how a child grows. Periodization is three cycles of something, three stages of how things grow and adapt and evolve.

Beating your abs does not help develop them. It is also quite dangerous and can cause injury to your body.

Because of the skeletal immaturity of a 10-year old, it is not advisable that he or she train with weights. My recommendation is to play regular sports to develop all-around fitness and co-ordination and wait until you are sixteen-or at least 15.

The amount of elliptical revolutions per mile can vary with the machine. For example if an elliptical machine has an 18 inch stride then the revolutions per mile would be 1760.

With a proper training program, nutrition and recovery you should be looking to gain 1-2lbs of muscle a week, this works out to be about 2kgs a month. This is from your body producing the muscle from natural means. Some people claim to gain higher amounts in shorter periods but this is only possible through the use of steroids. Some also use creatine which forces water into the muscles, so where you'll gain more in terms of size, your actually not building any more muscle.

Proper weight training program+higher calorie+higher protein

To reach these gains your diet should be 50/40/10, protein/carbs/fat. Ideally you would want a good source of protein in every meal. You should be eating every 2-3hrs having 6+ meals a day. Most people increase their calorie intake by 500 a day then assess their diet after a month if no wait is gained.

As for weight training, you will need to put your muscle under stress otherwise they wont grow, ideally you will need to increase the weight by 5% each week.

Those are the conditions you need to reach those gains!

If the amount of food you eat does not change, YES, you will shed pounds. Don't expect it to happen overnight. As you loose fat, you are also building muscle. You'll begin to see more of a difference in yourself than on the scale. THEN you'll notice the pounds begin dropping.........and dropping........and dropping.

Most marathons will have both water and either Gatorade or Powerade for their runners during the race. Larger races have both options available at every water station which are usually available at every other mile. It is generally considered wise to alternate water at one stop, and an electrolyte replacement drink at the next stop as tolerated. Many runners will water down the electrolyte drink (particularly late in the race) as it tends to cause intestinal upset for many. Most runners do NOT drink fruit juices, sodas or even beer during races, though there are always exceptions to every rule.

General online stores such as amazon.co.uk and argos.co.uk offer you good, high quality, approved benches that are gym quality- and these are everyday stores/brands/names that everybody has heard of. The stores themselves being good, reputable names, offer you great customer service and peace of mind. Popular magazines such as Men's Fitness also recommend and advocate the use of these two sites to buy your equipment from- so therefore it is good whether you are just the "Average Joe", or a regular "Gym Bunny" wanting to take your fitness to a professional level. As a last note, try powerhousefitness.co.uk. This is good to keep your eye on, as can have many sales through out the year- and comes with on-line chat support too!

It's a form of exercising the body.

no it does not i started lifting when i was 14 and i was 5/9 and now im 24 and 6/2 and i am well fit weight lifting and situps did not stunt my growth and all of my friends that i know same for them

If you participate in many events (Shot Put, Discus, Long Jump, Triple Jump, Javelin, Sprints) you will receive an intense full body workout, one that is generally unobtainable through a Gym.

It depends on your desired results. For getting stronger and bigger, use a lot of weight and low repetition. I would recommend 2-3 sets of 8 reps with however much weight you can handle for that amount. For getting more toned and gaining endurance, use low weight and high reps. I would recommend 3-4 sets of 12-15 reps.

1) So you can tackle better - stronger men will tackle with more force and be able to "push" the oposing player off the ball easier.

2) when you are in possetion you will need to be able to "hold the ball up" meaning you can ride challenges from oposing players without losing your balance and keeping the ball - this is far easier with strength (particually upper body)

3) challenging for a 50/50 ball - you are much more likely to come out on top when challenging for a loose ball if you are stronger than the oposing player.

I had not heard of this until I shared this question with a friend of mine. He said that it does work and he believes it is not dangerous. He did say that he has heard of it being used during exercise. You cut out holes for your head and arms and wear it like a shirt. It works somewhat like a sauna, holding your body heat in and causing you to sweat. I don't think it would have the same effect if you wore it without exercising, though. Of course if you used it and started feeling like you were overheating, you should take it off. Deb
