What muscles are used in rowing?
alot of them acutally, the major ones being you back, arms, and thighs, biceps, triceps, wrist and grip, quadriceps and your ability to WIN
If used properly, rowing machines provide a full body workout! Muscles in the legs, arms, back and stomach are used. Quadriceps and lower back muscles are used heavily. Also, if using proper form, the rowing machine helps strengthen core muscles (abs and back).
Does squats make you jump higher?
You should be able to do no more than 10 reps. If you do more then you are not improving your vertical jump very much. Increasing your vertical jump takes a lot of time. You have to have good strength, flexibility, speed, and genetics to have a good vertical leap. You can build strength by doing basic exercises such as squats,lunges,calf raises, or leg extensions (you need a machine to do these) Once you build up your strength, start working on your speed. Do plyometrics to increase your speed. Pylometric exercises help to build explosion in your jump, which gets you higher in the air. Any type of exercise is very demanding on your body, so make sure you don't push yourself too hard, or you will get injured. Take it easy and build yourself up to harder exercises. Make sure you eat plenty of protein and vitamins. Also, you HAVE TO STRETCH before and after you exercise. You are severely damaging your muscles if you don't stretch. Stretching builds elasticity in your muscles, and this helps increase your vertical.
How many times should you do masturbuting in week?
haha theres no set number towards how many times you should mastrubrate. lol some people mastrubrate multiple times in one day, other barely at all in a month. i cld tell you 21 times (3x a day a week)...or i cld tell u 7x a week or once a week.mastrubration is not sinful, if anything its a saint. it relieves stress and feels great!. people are retarded to think its bad, its like saying anything that gives you happiness or satisfaction is wrong. i recomend it if your stressed, and doing it daily, but if your tierd it wont kill you to miss a few days, or even a week. its your personal choice!
Exercise. High weight, low reps.
AnswerWell, I do that, but it still seems that I don't got the muscle I need and I still ain't strong enough :( Will protein shakes really help? lol. :PWhy does a person breathe faster and deeper when exercising?
Proper breathing while exercising is very important. A person breathes deeper while exercising because their muscles need more oxygen, which means more blood cells need oxygen to carry to the persons muscles.
How long does it take a person to get a six pack?
How long this will take will depend on your weight, height, daily exercise, and diet, along with various other factors.
The easiest way to gain a good estimate would be to ask a gym's personal trainer, as they have a lot of experience and will be able to gauge better by looking into your lifestyle.
It depends. If you are skinny you can lose weight by doing sits or crunches. You can even get an ab pressure, then it may only take 2-3 months to get 6-pack abs. But don't give up after 2-3 months they may be flabby or hang off your stomach. It will take 6-12 months for them to be perfectly flat and and hard as a rock.
I have a six-pack, and it took me about a month, but I am on the wrestling team, and we do hardcore work outs for about two hours every day. (I mean hardcore, people throw up and pass out) I watch TV at night for a couple of hours, and during the commercials I do crunches. That adds up to a few hundred sit-ups, and it's easy because you're concentrated on the tv instead of how much your abs are burning.
I would say overall that it might take you a maximum of 12-14 months.
joseph / me>> i have been working out on and off but now for realz , im 14 and it depends but an average to even be ripped, is about 5 months, for me it;s taking like a month in a half depends on ur body ...

Regular aerobic exercise gives an individual more endurance" is a sentence that shows cause and effect. Which word indicates the cause?
A. EnduranceB. IndividualC.ExerciseD. Regular
the bad thing that is the exercise doo o o o o
There isn't actually anything bad about exercise itself. The way in which you exercise can be the problem, for instance running. If you run with incorrect posture/Technique, you can cause unnecessary damage, Warming up is very important to prevent injury and so is calling down. Overtraining is very popular especially if you are new the exercise people think going hard every night with give them results, sometimes the complete opposite.
Bottom line!! exercising is better then no exercise...
What is an example of a sport which focuses on muscular power?
Football, boxing, wrestling. All sports in some form rely on muscular power.
Kicking soccer balls
The 5 components of physical fitness are often used in our school systems, health clubs and fitness centers to gauge how good a shape we are truly in. The 5 components that make up total fitness are: * Cardiovascular Endurance * Muscular Strength * Muscular endurance * Flexibility * Body Composition Total fitness can be defined by how well the body performs in each one of the components of physical fitness as a whole. It is not enough to be able to bench press your body weight. You also need to determine how well you can handle running a mile etc. A closer look at the individual components: Cardiovascular enduranceis the ability of the heart and lungs to work together to provide the needed oxygen and fuel to the body during sustained workloads. Examples would be jogging, cycling and swimming. The Cooper Run is used most often to test cardiovascular endurance. Muscular strengthis the amount of force a muscle can produce. Examples would be the bench press, leg press or bicep curl. The push up test is most often used to test muscular strength. Muscular endurance is the ability of the muscles to perform continuous without fatiguing. Examples would be cycling, step machines and elliptical machines. The sit up test is most often used to test muscular endurance. Flexibilityis the ability of each joint to move through the available range of motion for a specific joint. Examples would be stretching individual muscles or the ability to perform certain functional movements such as the lunge. The sit and reach test is most often used to test flexibility. Body compositionis the amount of fat mass compared to lean muscle mass, bone and organs. This can be measured using underwater weighing, Skinfold readings, and bioelectrical impedance. Underwater weighing is considered the "gold standard" for body fat measurement, however because of the size and expense of the equipment needed very few places are set up to do this kind of measurement. Why the need for physical fitness testing? As stated earlier the 5 components of physical fitness represent how fit and healthy the body is as a whole. When you have the battery of tests performed you will receive information on the specific areas you made need to work in. A very specific goal oriented fitness program can be developed from the test battery. If body composition is of (higher fat compared to muscle mass) there are many health related diseases and illnesses you have a higher chance of contracting. It is important to combine healthy eating habits with your exercise program. If you scored low on the cardiovascular test you would have a higher chance of being at risk for heart related illnesses and would not do well with activities that require longer times to complete. You would participate in things such as long bike rides, swimming and jogging for extended periods of time to correct this component. The next three tests can have results that are isolated to specific joints and muscles of the body or affect the body as a whole. If you score low on the flexibility tests, you have a greater chance of decreased performance in daily living activities/sports and a higher risk of injury. You may also experience low back pain. It would be important to included flexibility training into your workout everyday. If you scored low on the muscular endurance test you fatigue early into the exercise or activities of daily living. Many exercises that require high reps and low weight would be implemented into your training program. If you scored low on the muscle strength test you do not have enough strength to perform well in sports, resistance training and activities of daily living. Your fitness program would have a progressive strength training component added that would allow you to become stronger with little chance of injury over time. Fitness testing has its limitations - while it gives you a good idea of where your body is, it does not paint the entire picture. As stated earlier some of the above tests are only testing specific body parts. Other important factors such as balance and agility are not tested. It also requires the ability to perform the tests. It would be dangerous for someone who is in poor condition and does not exercise to participate in fitness testing. Before deciding to undergo fitness testing, make sure you know why they are being done and determine that it is safe for you to participate.

What exercises helps knock knees?
Use a band that very lose and put it near you knees and spread you legs out till the band tightens (straight out your legs) and go in a sqwating position and bounce up/down (not to high though) after a few weeks time you'll see some diffences(:
Is there such thing as a 2 pack abs?
No, max you can have is 8 pack . They exists although it is misleading. Everybody has the same muscles, but genetics, diet and daily activities give each of a unique build as the muscle grow and tone differently on each of us. Everyone have 8 pack, but not everybody can achieve them. And there is no such thing as 10 pack, 12 pack etc. Anatomicly we don't have that. So that is just stupid to say someone has 10 pack or more. 8 pack is final. :)
What factors increase metabolic rate?
Since muscle burns about 8 times more calories than fat, having more lean tissue, or muscle, can increase the basal metabolic rate.
Another way of increasing your metabolic rate is by doing frequent exercise. As the body is going through the motions of exercise, the metabolic rate increases to supply energy to muscles through catabolism of sugars.

How do you get a better bench press?
In order to increase bench press you must not do it more than every 2-3 days because your muscles need time to rest you can add weight to your bench press every 2 weeks with 5-10 pounds I usually bench press every 4 days and the that after my bench I like to work my triceps because triceps have a big impact on bench press also have you tried other workouts on your bench day like dumbbell press, dumbbells fly or incline and decline bench press you could also gain more muscle which could help you with the weight eat high protein foods such as chicken and lean steak also get lots of rest

^douche. between each station there's short intervals as resting period are important during circuit training. boom.
How many laps around a college track equal one mile?
"Based upon the college track being 440 yards in length, it would take 4 trips around that oval to equal one mile.
5,280 feet = One mile
5,280 divided by 3 = 1,760 yards
1,760 yards divided by 440 = 4 (laps)"
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.
Does drinking protein shakes at age 12 stunt growth?
I don't believe that protein shakes will stunt your growth. There are different types of protein shakes such as whey, casein, soy, and recently there is some buzz about hemp protein.
Active people who are still growing should get most if not all of their nutrients from wholesome foods and not from supplements. For protein you should be having beef, chicken, and fish among other kinds of protein including healthy carbs and fats.
It's usually only when you are competing at an elite level when you need supplements that can give you that extra edge.

How many hours should a child exercise per week?
A child is supposed to get at least 1 hour of exercise a day or 7 hours of exercise a week.
This allows the muscles to slow down after a strenuous workout. Not, warming up could caus strains, pulls, and tears in muscles.
Cooling down lessens the liklihood that you will be super sore the next day.
