How can you make your butt bigger and rounder?
By chance have you tried Pilates or yoga? I heard Pilates or yoga flattens the butt...building muscle is probably the only thing that will help it to get bigger. I have heard about squats and lunges, but I am not exactly sure how many and how often these should be done. Look up exercises to build "glutes". For building up the rear end do squats and lunges
What is a good use for a pro form treadmill?
That's a tough question because Proform has made approximately 80 different models all named the 585, some are the 585 QS, or the 585 TL or the 585 Perspective(I believe that is the newest one).
I can give you a general answer that sums it up for most proform treadmills. They are pretty good if you weigh less than 150 pounds. There better models are ok, if you weigh 150-200, and their best models are ok if you are up to about 240 pounds and don't run more than 3 miles at a time. It all depends on the size of the motor(in continuous horsepower) I would stay away from the cheapest proforms, the motors are too small for adults. If you buy one, be sure to use a surge protector and lube the belt twice a year.
If you are bigger or a serious runner though, you'll want something more substantial. Be willing to spend 1500-3000 dollars. If you want the most bang for your buck below 1500, go to Costco and look for whatever treadmill they have for about 1000(without a built in TV) They currently have an ironman and a nordic track, the nordic track is a little better, and much nicer than a nordic track you could buy at sears for 500 more.
How do you get six pack abs if you are a kid?
Exercise and maintaining low enough body fat for abs to show through (do not over eat). If you are between 10 to 20 years. Then try playing Badminton or do sit up's every day. I am sure you will have Ab's but not 6, you will have 4. Believe me! Just try it. May be it will take 2 months if you work hard. If you are fat try running every morning and after you become slim do sit up's and crunches.
Should you take whey protein before running and after running?
Never take it before running cause the lactose (whey) in protein is bad for your knees and can ruin your knees if you run with it in your system, plus a heavy substance in your system when running will make you feel sick. Take it afterwards when your body is looking for protein to rebuild the muscles and since usually people dont feel like eating right after cardio workout, protein with water or shake will be easier on your stomach.
IMPROVED ANSWER:
What?
Rest assured, taking whey protein will in no way ever "ruin your knees." Furthermore, there is very little lactose in most whey mixtures, and none at all in a whey isolate mixture.
Additionally, whey is not a "heavy substance" that will make you feel sick if you ingest it before running. However, it is true that whey is best eaten after a hard workout to help re-fuel your muscles. Even so, if you want to drink a whey shake before a run, help yourself. Your body will use the portein either way.
Are knuckles pushups better than normal push ups?
If you are referring to making your "knuckle bones" stronger, no, not directly. Performing any type of weight or resistance training will improve overall bone density and strength. So in an indirect way, your knuckle bones would get stronger ... but so would other bones. The primary benefit of performing pushups on your knuckles is that it avoids the traditional wrist flexion that you experience when you have your hands flat on the floor during a pushup. Bending the wrists back can be uncomfortable for some people, or lead to wrist injury. By performing them on your knuckles, you put the wrist in a non-flexed, neutral position, mitigating these risks. However, knuckle pushups are also uncomfortable for some people because there is very little flesh between the knuckles and skin. Over time, you may become less sensitive to it, but some people never do. If wrist flexion is a concern, you can always perform your pushups using pushup bars or something like the Perfect Pushup.
Will you stop growing if you lift weights?
That depends- if you are eating protein and keeping healthy then your muscles will grow. But muscles being heavier than fat, its actually possible for an overweight person to get smaller yet gain weight. Of course it all depends on how much you work out too. And if a child gets too much exercise or does too much weight-bearing, it can actually stunt growth - growth plates in the bones are not made for constant heavy exertion and will be damaged, causing pain and also taking some amount off the height the child would have been as an adult. But in an average situation with a healthy adult who is trying to get muscular instead of lose weight, weight lifting will add bulk to your body's frame.
What exercises will tone your stomach?
To tone your belly, try doing around 50 situps in the morning before you eat, and 50 in the evening before you have dinner.

How much weight can you lose riding a bike?
There's no real answer to that, it all depends on how hard you ride, how long you ride and how much you eat. I can drop almost a pound/day when I'm out touring, but some of that is muscle mass, which isn't really a good thing in the long run. For a sustainable result a pound/week is a decent goal to aim for.

Do you get taller by weight lifting?
As in trigger a growing phase? No it will not. It will however improve posture since the extra baggage isn't weighing down on the spine. Also keep in mind that the smaller you are horizontally, the bigger you look vertically; so if you shed some lbs, it will create the illusion of being slim and tall.
Tips:
1. Do not slouch while standing and sitting; frequent compression on the spine will gradually shape your spinal column in such a way that it may result in height LOSS.
2. For those who are still growing, sleep with thin or no pillows; the flatter you are, the easier it is for the spine to extend. Try your best to stay on your back (wearing ankle weights helps prevent tossing and turning). Sleeping on your side creates pressure that compresses the spine and you may end up slightly leaning for a portion of the day.
3. Swimming, yoga and palates emphasizes extension of the spine. Combine this with a good diet and you should gain a noticeable amount of height.
