What are some exercises to reduce the size of a big butt?

There is no way to reduce fat from any one area of the body alone. This type of "Spot Reduction" is a myth. Your body loses fat from all areas of the body equally.

Doing gluteal exercises will firm and tone up the muscle under the fat, but has no direct effect on the fat itself.

General weight loss is the ONLY way to lose weight from any area of the body.

How do you get strong without weights?

It is possible to improve your strength without weight training, but it is not possible to do it without resistance training.

The best way to do it, however, is by progressively lifting heavier and heavier weights.

What are the causes of slow pulse rate?

Your pulse is the number of times your heart beats in a minute. As you start moving quicker, or exercising, or get excited, the heart beats quicker to send more blood to the brain (for better thinking), to the muscles (for better strength), through your lungs (to get more oxygen into the blood). As you relax, the heart begins to beat slower and returns to its normal rate.

How many chin ups should an adult man be able to do?

I am 14 (5'5 140) and can do 25 consecutive chin ups i would say being able to do 10 is decent but then again when i got my bar i couldn't do 1 you can build up chin up ability very quickly.

I'm thirteen 5'7 140 and I can do fifty after one month of having my bar so it doesn't take long to get good!

When I was 16 I did 300 consecutive chin-ups. I thought I was the strongest kid around until my high school gym teacher forced me to them with proper forum. That is, 3 seconds up, chin 90 degree angle with the bar and pause for 1.5 seconds, 4 seconds on the way down, then when you get down you fully extend your arms then pause for 1.5 seconds. Then repeat this cycle. I went from doing 300 cheaters to doing approximately 10 real chin ups. So i could do 30 times less chin ups when using perfect forum.

Given that, I would estimate that if you can do 50 cheating chin-ups and if I threatened you and said do as many perfect forum chin ups as you can, I would have to do something drastic after about 5 because that's all you could do.

To answer the question: If you can do 10 perfect form chin ups you are part of an elite group it doesn't matter your age.

What is average mile time for a 11 year old boy?

Below is an ignorant piece of advice. Here's what I say: I am pretty slow, and I have a 10:30. I have a friend who ran a 6:02 but she is an amazing track girl, and her sister has a 6:15. Both ridiculously amazing. Yet, average, I believe, is around high 8's - or 9's.

If you are a girl and any good at running, definetly under 7:30. I ran a 6:29 when I was 10 so... do your best at it. the slowest at my track team run a 7:14. The fastest, a 5:29. So it differs for everyone.

What of these exercises is a lifestyle activity?

There is no "best example" of lifelong physical activity because all people have differences in physical abilities and differences between each person's physical health.

Walking is the best exercise. However, some people cannot walk.

Activities than raise and sustain heart rate are good cardiovascular exercises, yet, people who cannot stand or walk, or who have heart disease, may not be able to do strenuous exercise.

So, THE BEST lifelong physical activity is what a person can do, consistently, given his or her physical limitations.

The manual treadmill is usually smaller than its electric counterpart and can therefore be stored easier. Also the workout is more intense as the effort comes from the user and not machine.

Do you supposed to eat before you exercise?

It depends on the kind and severity of the exercise. If you're about to exercise to the intensity of being sick, no, probably not.

If you feel shaky when you exercise, eat a while BEFORE you start.
