push ups train the pecs upper back biceps triceps and pretty much the whole core of the body. Hello,

Push ups have been used by the Military as the back bone of their p/t program for years. They are great-- at least in the beginning at building the muscles of your chest , arms, front deltoids and back. And to some extent the abs.

The problem with push ups as with many bodyweight exercises is that the main component of building muscle is progressive resistance. With out it your muscles will stop responding -- by not growing.

The use of resistance bands or a perfect push up type device is critical to insuring that you get muscle growth as opposed to muscular endurance.

Squats are one of the best, if not the best, exercises you can do. This is because they work so many muscles, while forcing you to stabilize and balance your body under a heavy load. The primary muscles involved are the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and adductors.

It works the heart by increasing the beats thus making it stronger over time.

Depending on your level of fitness, a 47 year old man in relatively good shape, and running on a regular basis, should run a mile in 7 1/2 to 9 minutes.

If it takes you longer, you need to run more often and further than 1 mile. See runners world for great tips and good luck.

when you breath in your diaphragm muscle expands your lungs to take in air. when you breath out your diaphragm muscle pushes on your lungs to let out the air.

Less than 1%. The average male that doesn't lift weights would be lucky to bench 140-150 lbs one time. 250 lbs is a serious bench press, even for the physically fit and regular exercisers. Dedication to the bench press, time, and proper diet is needed for this kind of lift, and even then most guys will not reach this weight on the bench...

As you exercise, your heart begins to beat faster to get oxygen to your muscles. Your pulse rate will also increase as the heart beats faster. This is not dangerous as long as you don't over do it. Regular exercise can make the heart muscles stronger and your endurance will increase, both are very good things.

Sit ups help develop your abdominal muscles, but it takes a lot of time...

There are many different ways to do sit ups, including laying in the traditional position of sit ups raising your legs and pulling them into your stomach, all the while keeping a fixed upper body position.

It tends to be those who have a slimmer frame who have the visible evidence of situps, if you are larger then the muscle will simply develop under the fat, so it's always a good idea to include cardio whenever doing sit ups.

In short, it means you're doing something wrong. It is impossible to know what because I have no idea what type of pain, what exercises you were doing, how experienced you are, etc. It is likely something your form however. All I can advise without further details is to either work with a trainer or someone who knows what they're doing, or read extensively on how to properly lift so you know you're doing it correctly.

If one wants to buy a Sole E95 Elliptical machine one can choose between a brand new one or a used one. If one wants to buy a new one it will cost about 1.700 dollars. A used one is still 1.500 dollar.

I do sauna first, then swim for an hour, then sauna again after excercising.

Definitely its the same work out you would get as sprinting.

Contrary to popular belief, lifting weights while you are still growing does not stunt growth. It was believed that breaking a bone could damage the ends of the bones that are still growing, but this is not the case. Strength training has only benefits, if done correctly, whether you are young or old.

musles

The squat works many muscles in the body in some form. The primary movers are the hamstrings, quads, and glutes. Assuming you are doing them correctly with your knees out and squatting below parallel, you should be using your hip adductors as well.

the nordic track autostrider 990 pro seems to be a nice eliptical machine eliptical machines are better than treadmills they are low impact and good for your knees

There are many different reviews of elliptical trainers, and many different highly rated products according to different criteria and price ranges. In general, a good elliptical trainer will have the fly wheels attached to the footpads by rods that ensure a smooth elliptical motion. If the footpads are attached directly to the flywheel, the motion will be circular and can be very bumpy.

You cannot directly tone muscles, nor target directly the toning of single muscles. Getting that "toned" look comes from being in a caloric deficit (eating slightly under maintenance calories), coupled with a good weightlifting regime. Unfortunately, some people store more of their body fat in different areas sometimes making certain muscle "tones" harder to achieve.

It seems to be that there isn't a specific method of fitness to improve your flexibility. i am looking this up for my college work, and the only way to improve this is to just generally stretch every day, and make sure you stretch the muscle for about 10-12 seconds, as the muscles are being stretched they then adapt to that length, therefore your flexibility will improve.

The prime mover for knee flexion is biceps femoris, semimembranosus, and semitendinosus. The prime mover for knee extension is the Quadriceps â?? vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius, and rectus femoris

True.
