Why doesn't muscle mass increase from some physical activities?

Two things could be the cause, one is you are not pushing yourself hard enough.

But most likely it is because you are not eating the right things to give you muscles what they need to get larger.

and also, dont always assume that just because your muscles arn't getting bigger, doesnt mean they arnt getting stronger.

Can weightlifting help you to lose weight faster?

Yes. Here is why: an effective program of weight training (including proper nutrition and rest) will increase your amount of muscle mass. A given quantity of muscle mass burns several dozen times more calories than the same quantity of fat. Therefore, if you increase your quantity of muscle mass, you will burn additional calories 24 hours daily. In fact, it is difficult to sustain weight loss without weight training.

How fast can a five year old run?

How fast your five year old can run varies depending on their diet and their normal rate of running. If your child is overweight, he or she might be a little slower or take more time runnning. If your child is skinny or the right weight, it would still vary. To figure this out, have he or she run on a treadmill.

What are jumping jacks forr?

When I was a child many years ago (in my sixties now) you could buy small fireworks that were folded concertina style and when lit each segment would explode and cause the whole firework to jump around on the floor with a bang at each jump. That was called a "jumping jack".

What do squats and lunges do?

Both squats and lunges are basically leg exercises.

Squat is king of all leg exercises as you can handle very heavy weights and stimulate muscle growth quickly.

Lunges is a very good shaping exercise. It helps you get the lines on your quadriceps, separation between quad and hamstrings and the gleut- hamstring tie in also.

How do you get biceps and triceps big fast?

In order to get bigger biceps there are a few things you need to do.

Firstly, you need to use heavier weights. Pick a weight that you can just about get 7-8 reps out with. When that gets to easy, increase the weight.

Secondly, increase your calorie intake. Make sure you're getting enough protein, complex carbs and simple sugars. These are what help your muscles to grow, repair themselves and energize themselves for the next weights session.

What does each test measures in physical fitness?

Pacer measures speed/endurance, trunk lift measures flexibility, the mile run measures primarily endurance, but speed as well, curl ups test muscular endurance (in your abdominal area to be exact), the flex arm hang tests muscular endurance in your biceps, and push ups test muscular endurance in your arms as well.

How many steps to a mile?

Given that 1 mile = 5,280 feet

And an 18 inch wheel =1.5 Ft (diameter)

Pi*1.5(ft) = 4.712389 ft circumference

meaning that a 1.5 ft wheel will travel about 4.7 ft per revolution.

5,280/4.7= ABOUT 1123.4 revolutions per mile

Why shouldn't you feel overwhelmed by the Fitness Log element of the course?

The "seat time" is half as much as a normal class to accomodate your workouts.

Which exercise is considered the easiest to do?

Walking.
Our bodies are designed to walk, because back in the stone age, ice age times, people would walk and hunt for food etc, so we are conditioned that way. Walking is also low impact, resulting in less damage to the joints.

Should you work out your abs every day?

not at all, it is a good thing. Everyone should be working out every day to fit a healthy lifestyle. It is only bad to work the same muscle groups every day because the muscles being worked have no time to recover. The muscle actually because stronger a few days after a workout because it rebuilds itself with proteins.

No just think of it as its not that big a of a deal and do things that don't make you miserable.Working out every day is perfectly healthy, as long as you are also getting enough to eat, otherwise it could lead to excessive weight loss which is not healthy.

What's the easiest way to get rid of cellulite in the hips butt and thighs?

The best exercise would be anything that involves a lot of sweating and increases your heart rate. For your butt the best one would be running, while the best one for thighs would be jumping, twister or hula hoops. Just do a lot of exercises for 2 months and watch what you eat. Make sure you have a balanced diet, not to much fat, calories and sugar.

Answer

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 long to lose weight by exercise?

A pound of fat contains roughly 3200 calories, so whatever amount of time it takes at a certain intensity to burn 3200 calories is more or less how long it will take to burn a pound of fat. I say more or less because the majority of energy used during exercise comes from glycogen (carbohydrates) instead of fat. Assuming this glycogen were not immediately replaced, your body would have to get that energy from fat after exercise.

Is damaged when you fall and scrape your knee?

That depends on how hard you fall and on what surface. The injury could be anything from a small bruise that will heal shortly to very serious knee damage resulting in micro fracture knee surgery.

What kind of injury can one sustain from improper weight lifting?

You can do a lot to yourself by improperly training. Most of the injuries are muscle tears that heal easily enough, but some are not so pleasant. You can do some serious damage to your back, including spinal injuries. It's also pretty easy to mess up your shoulder through impingement and rotating it in ways it would rather not. Finally, you can really easily hurt yourself if, for example, you're trying to squat too much weight in poor form, and you fall over with a couple hundred pounds on your back.

Why do we breathe more rapidly during exercise?

When we exercise,our muscles need energy,so,they use a chemical called adenosine triphosphate (ATP) for their energy source. During the process of "burning" ATP, your muscles need three things:

  • They need oxygen, because chemical reactions require ATP and oxygen is consumed to produce ATP.
  • They need to eliminate metabolic wastes (carbon dioxide, lactic acid) that the chemical reactions generate.
  • They need to get rid of heat. Just like an electric motor, a working muscle generates heat that it needs to get rid of.

So,we need to take more oxygen in,& let carbon dioxide out.so,we breathe quicker.
