Can 11 year olds bench press 60 pds?
in theory yes; it all depends on how much muscle mass you have and how long you have been weightlifting. To be safe when weightlifting, you must take 1 or 2 minute breaks in between each rep of 10. i highly recommend you bench press 35-75 lbs and 8 reps of 10 every other day. This allows your body to rebuild muscle mass. If your arms start shaking while you're pushing up then your benching too much weight.
How can you pick up a 5-7-10 split?
There is no real 'scientific' way to shoot for the 7-10. Converting it takes absolute luck. I have seen it made 4 or 5 times and in each case, the bowler threw the ball very hard and hit one of the pins square on. The pin went back into the pit and then bounced out and got the other pin.

How do you say six pack in french?
for the muscle: les abdos, les abdominaux
especially for the 6-pack shape: 'la tablette de chocolat'
YES! Abs(External and internal obliques, Rectus abdominis) and so on are the major muscles of the "trunk" that support, stabilize, and move the spine. Creating abs in your daily workout a few times a week is a great way to help support your back, as abs are your main core. The abdominal wall has no skeletal structures to support it, and therefore must rely on strength from the multidirectional layers of muscles comprising it.
How TV effects the human body?

How can a 13 year old get ripped?
50 push ups. 2 sets of 25. -------------> TRICEPS & BICEPS
30 sit-ups. 2 sets of 15.-------------> ABS
30 crunches. 2 sets of 15-------------> ABS
50 squats. 2 sets of 25.-------------> CALFS & THIGHS
30 lunges. 15 on each leg.-------------> CALFS & THIGHS
20 leg raises, 30 seconds each. -------------> CALFS & THIGHS
10 planks, 30 seconds each.-------------> ALL AROUND WORKOUT.
This should take about 4-6 weeks to get ripped (huge thighs, calfs, biceps, triceps, pecks, and abs) once ripped continue this everyday, it will keep you fit, and it will only get easier. Also, keep a healthy diet, lots of protein=lots of muscle. If you have another physical activity that takes place on certain days, don't do this workout on those days, you've already gotten your workout, you don't need to over tire yourself. Anyways, this worked for me and I'm 13 and about 5'8, it took about 5 weeks. You know, I got pecks, 8 pack, huge legs and huge arms, it was really worth it. But once you're ripped, don't stop cause it'll just go back to being all floppy and not so buff looking.
P.S. DO NOT USE WEIGHTS. I got this workout routine from my football coach, he's quite fit himself, but he said do not use weights because they cause a large strain on your back, and we, are still at a growing age, so until we've stopped growing, which stops at around 20 (ask your doctor for more details) it would possibly do long term damage to your major growth plats on your back because of all the strain.
To all the above, you have to take at least a full 24 hours of rest to the muscles so they can build back up, since what you are doing is breaking down the muscle.
To all the above, its bullshlt. It will take way more than 4-6 weeks to get "Ripped" Get a gym membership, get a sustainable program like Jason Blaha 5x5 routine, Keep at it. Consistency is key. You will see results, just dont fool yourself hoping for a miracle.

Does exercise help weak heart?
EXERCISE DOES NOT DIRECTLY HELP A WEAK HEART. IF YOUR CARDIOLOGIST FEELS THAT IT IS SAVE TO EXERCISE SUCH AS WALKING ON A LEVEL AT 2.5 MILES PER HOUR , THE HEART INDIRECTLY BENEFITS BY THE CONDITIONING OF YOUR LEG MUSCLES AND BREATHING MUSCLES SO AS TO DEMAND LESS BLOOD FLOW TO CARRY OUT THE MUSCLES METABOLIC NEEDS. WHEN THE PATIENT WITH A WEAK HEART EXERCISES HE OR SHE ALSO INDIRECTLY HELPS THE HEART BY THE LOWERING OF BLOOD PRESSURE, BLOOD SUGAR, BAD CHOLESTEROL AND BODY FAT. THE COMMON ASSOCIATION OF DEPRESSION AND HEART FAILURE IS ALSO DECREASE BY EXERCISE. MOST SUDDEN DEATH WITH HEART FAILURE IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO EXCESSIVE DEMANDS MADE ON THE WEAK HEART BY UNCONDITIONED MUSCLES WHEN THE PATIENT EXERTS HIM OR HERSELF.
What is the purpose of a warm up?
This is a vague question. If you mean warming up prior to exercise, in the form of increased activity (like jogging) and stretching; then it helps to increase blood flow into the musculature of the body, and loosen and limber the ligaments and muscles: thus making injury during a sport or activity less likely.
What are do's and don'ts of physical fitness?
The biggest "do" of fitness is to get involved in an activity you enjoy. Make sure you have a plan and a goal so that you follow through with your desired activity. Often combining physical fitness with being social makes it easier to motivate yourself out of your house or workplace and into a more rewarding lifestyle.
It is important to warm up for 3-5 minutes (10 minutes if over the age of 60, obese or deconditioned). This will allow you to focus on the workout ahead, warm up the muscles (reduces the risk of injury) & raises heart rate slowly (allowing you to perfom at peak levels for longer durations of time).
Avoid eating large quantities of unhealthy/fatty foods before being active. Eat food high in carbohydrates such as pasta because, carbohydrates will help your body to maintain engery.
On top of drinking water also you need to replenish the salt in your body because, when you sweat you also lose salt and the chemicals in salt help your muscles contract. Drinking excess amounts of water with out repenlishing your salt's will cause your muscles to cramp
Another important factor in excire is going within your limits. For example while lifting weights you need to work yourself up to the higher weights by starting with low weights.
How fast should 14 year old run mile?
it depends on how fit you are. An unfit person might run a mile in ten minutes or more. If you are just casually running you should try for around eight of seven minutes, professionally six or less.

Hope i could help
i am a 13 year old boy and i run professionally. my best mile is 5:37 but that is not what most teens should strive for unless you run on cross country. a good mile for a 14 year old would be around 7:30 if you run an eight great!! don't get discouraged if you aren't as fast as others some people are just better at other things than others. don't train too hard, enjoy the run. also, i like to run at a nice good jog at about between race pace and a jog pace but don't push it there is always tommorow. good food before a run is a bananna eat about an hour before and then take Small sips of water. if you race but don't know what to do before race day then hydrate your but off and eat plenty of spaghetti and carbs but don't stuff yourself. hope this was helpful. :) HYDRATE CONSTANTLY:):):):):):):):):):):):D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
Cardio exercise without losing weight?
Is it possible to do cardiovascular excercise without losing weight? Sure, if you replace the calories you burn during exercise (along with the additional calories burned as your body recovers post-exercise) you won't lose weight. Calories in, calories out. It's important that athletes who already are in top shape with little body fat remember this, as it will allow them to maintain their high levels of performance while minimizing muscle breakdown.
What is the largest muscle in the arm?
The triceps are the largest muscle group in the arm. So, if you want big upper arms, concentrate on working your triceps rather than working your biceps.

How long to walk a quarter of a mile?
This really depends on ur foot size. Also it can depend on your hight, weight, and physical fitness. If you are short with short legs, your legs will not stretch and make as long strides as a tall person with very long legs. So, if you really want to know how long it takes to walk a quarter of a mile, I'd walk a quarter of a mile with a stopwatch to calculate the EXACT time it takes for you, an individual, to walk a quarter of a mile.
What is the different between high-impact and low-impact aerobic?
With high impact aerobics, you run and jump. With low impact aerobics, you always have your knees bent and 1 foot on the floor. Low impact aerobics gives you the same workout without stressing your joints.
Should you take protein after lifting?
You should not take a protein shake right before working out. Your muscles are made of mostly of protein. When you work-out your muscles tare, drinking protein IMMEDIATLY after your work-out fills in these tares which rebuilds your muscles. If you want to drink something before your work-out try something high in carbohydrates that will give you more energy and make working out less of a hassle. Keep in mind your body can only take in 21 grams of protein every three hours, any more than that will be filtered out by your kidneys. If your taking in way to much protein it can cause kidney problems. There are some protein supliments that allow your body to take in more protein than its supposed to. These can be found at any walmart or GNC.
Why After a strenuous workout more recovery time is needed than after a moderate workout?
The body needs more recovery time in between more enduring repetitions. A more strenuous exercise would therefore require more time to rest due to the increased buildup of lactic acid compared to the moderate exercise. The resulting more strenuous exercise is probably better to do less repetitions than one would do with a moderate exercise.
