Exercise

The intensity of any activity has an effect on the heart rate. For example, high impact exercise such as Zumba or running increases the heart rate, while a person at rest shows a decrease in heart rate.

Weightlifting, or olympic weightlifting is a sport consisting of two disciplines, the snatch (contested first) and the clean & jerk (contested second).

Powerlifting is a sport consisting of three movements, the squat, the bench press and finally the deadlift.

Both sports utilize a barbell and competitors are scored based on the highest amount of weight lifted succesfully.

Any exercise which reduces body fat will reduce stomach fat. There are no exercises which specifically target fat in a certain body region. If you want to lose your gut, you'll have to reduce your total body fat. Any moderately-intense cardiovascular exercise, such as running, biking, swimming or hiking (and many more) is a great way to burn calories. The American Heart Association recommends at least 60-90 minutes of exercise most days of the week for those trying to lose weight or maintain weight loss.

after is more important then before but you can do both. you want about 1.5 grams of proten per pound of muscle. diff people say diff things about that ratio but that's a good one. you rbody can only absorb so much proten at a time though so spread it out every three hours try to eat somthing.

proten befor bed is equally important as after workout as your muscles heal the most as you sleep.

Open chain exercises work with a single muscle group and joint whereas closed chain exercises work with multiple muscle groups and joints.

I'm a 13 year old boy and I run 100m in 11.69. But I've raced some kids at my track meets who are a lot faster than that. They probably run like a 10.8! I've seen the times too really fast. So I'd say a good time is around 10-12

To improve your flexibility you will have to stretch your muscles every day. When you stretch frequently you elongate your muscles, which allows you to become flexible.

Not heavy lifting. The best way is with light weight and lots of reps. This increases the fast twitch fibers in your muscles used in quick explosive movements rather that slow twitch fibers which are used in heavy brute lifting. Also, isometric, the best is long toss. Hope this helps.

if you are smart, you wont take muscle milk at all. its full of chemicals like acesulfame potassium and its primarily a soy protein base. use a natural whey based shake or onesource optimal nutrition shake and stay away from anything in a plastic bottle because its full of chemical preservatives and cheap ingredients.

The history of physical fitness is as old as time itself. Men and women have always done physical exercise to build strength and escape from dangerous situations and predators. Within the past century, physical fitness awareness has dramatically increased with the implementation of fitness programs in schools and the appearance of gym chains.

Physical exercise keeps muscles healthy by stimulating them and increasing blood flow to the fibers. To maintain muscle size, they just need to be stimulated regularly.

To increase muscle mass, something else has to happen. The muscle fibers need to be stimulated to the point where they start to crack and tear. The gaps then fill in with muscle fiber making them bigger. The pain you feel is inflammation of newly torn fibers. Inflammation is usually harmless but if it is in the joints in can be destructive. It's not the inflammation that causes the muscles to grow so anti-inflammatory drugs can reduce the pain and damage to the joints.

even though on the ad it looks very easy but they people that "have lost the weight" on the ad are all ready fit - trim

if you want to loose weight just stick to a heathly diet and execisse routein

A kid about 10 and up should do 20-30 sit-ups and about 20-25 push ups. This should take you around 10 minuites (also do some yoga if you know any) to do. be active, this is a healthy exersice it will help you not get plump. Do this 3-5 days a week. This really works.

Every other day I do 3 sets of 50 - military style (hands below shoulders, elbows in and pointing back , flat back). I rest about 2 minutes between sets.

Every now and then i mix it up (hands closer/further apart, or futher/back of the shoulders)

I am 43 and 6 foot 176 pounds.

I don't know if this is average or not for a guy my age ...just putting it out there

firms muscles to prevent getting fat As long as you are doing some sort of aerobic excercise (any excercise where you can actually breathe, NOT running), it will continue to burn calories which will in turn burn up your fat stores. You just need to make sure you are doing aerobic excercises at least three times a week for a half hour or more. As humans, we need to burn up any excess energy from our food intake, or it will build up as fat. That can reduce your weight (by using your fat), however, weight is not a way of measuring your healthiness, as muscles weights more than fat.

Therefor you can be quite heavy, and still be in perfect condition

The Right Way to Do Sit-Ups Sit-ups have been the cornerstone of fitness programs for years. But do they deserve this revered status? Can they flatten a protruding gut or remove inches of flab from the waistline? No. (See "Sit-Ups: No Cure for Ab Flab" below.) But when done properly, sit-ups help tone the muscles in your midsection, which can help protect your back as well as improve your physique. When done wrong, however, sit-ups can be a waste of time?and possibly even harmful. The main purpose of sit-ups is to strengthen the "stomach" muscles by challenging the abdominal group: the rectus abdominus muscles, or "abs" (two thin strips of muscle that extend from the breastbone to the pelvis), and the three layers of muscles that flank the abs. This might seem to be a simple order to fill, but it's not. Sit Up and Avoid Pitfalls Great care and excellent technique are required to strengthen the abdominal muscles with sit-ups. To be effective, sit-ups must pull the torso upward from a lying position toward the knees using only the abdominal group. Often, however, other, more powerful, muscles (those that flex the legs and hips) do much of the work. This is especially true with straight-leg sit-ups. Bending the knees during sit-ups helps neutralize the action of the hip flexors and makes the abdominal muscles work more. Even so, the abdominal group tends to be involved only in the initial phase of the sit-up, after which the hip flexors take over. In addition, doing sit-ups rapidly and with momentum, knees bent or not, does not work the abdominal group very much. That's why raising slowly only part way works the abdominal muscles best. Sit-ups also can be hazardous to your lower back, especially when using the straight-leg variety, which arches the back and may create overextension and strain. Twisting (right elbow to left knee and vice versa) at the top of the sit-up movement is not only useless, it places tremendous rotational stress on the lower back that can lead to injury. When doing sit-ups, never push through back pain. Stop immediately at even the slightest twinge in the lower back. Ab-solutely Excellent Sit-Ups TV is full of infomercials for abdominal exercise machines that promise to strengthen abs and trim the waist in no time. While some of these gadgets may help you use better form and get more out of your sit-ups, they won't perform miracles. In fact, you can achieve similar benefits on your own simply by knowing how to perform sit-ups properly: * Lie on your back on a padded surface, bending your knees to about 90? with your feet flat on the floor. Don't anchor your feet, because doing so will bring leg and hip flexor muscles into the action. * Choose the position of your hands and arms according to your abdominal strength. The closer your hands are to your head, the more difficult sit-ups become. As a beginner, rest your hands at your sides. When you get strong, you can cross your arms across your chest. Eventually, cross your arms behind your head with each hand on the opposite shoulder if you're able. * Don't, however, interlace your fingers behind your head. When you do, you tend to pull on your head, which can stress the neck and cause injury. Pulling on your head also makes the abdominal muscles work less. * Start each movement slowly, as if you are in slow motion. * Focus on using your abdominal muscles only. Close your eyes and visualize the abdominal muscles tensing and shortening like slow-moving cables through a pulley that draws your shoulders and head off the floor. * Exhale while the abdominal muscles contract and pull you upward. This will suck the muscles inward, ensuring involvement of the deeper muscles. Inhaling may cause your abdomen to protrude, leading to overarching and strain of the lower back. * Stop about halfway to the upright position?about 6 to 12 inches off the floor?and tense your abdominal muscles. Hold this position briefly, then lower slowly to the floor. As the abdominal muscles begin to tire, you may not be able to rise to midway, but go as high as you can. * Upon returning to the starting point, touch the floor lightly with your upper back and head, keeping the abdominal muscles tense, then begin the next movement. * If you find that sit-ups are too demanding, try doing only the curl-down phase. Assume a sitting position by pushing yourself upward with your arms. Slowly lower to the floor, keeping your abdominal muscles tensed. Return to the up position and repeat. * Don't overdo it. One set of 5 properly executed sit-ups or curl downs is enough at first. Add 1 sit-up each workout until you reach 15, then add more sets. When you can do three sets of 15, change hand positions to add resistance. Sit-Ups: May Not Remove Ab Flab Completely...but its a step in the right direction! Strengthening the abs will not remove fat from the waistline. There is no such thing as spot reduction, because muscles do not fuel exercise by using the fat that surrounds them. Instead, during exercise the body tends to mobilize fat from storage depots throughout the body, so the fat used as fuel during sit-ups may come from the legs, back, face, or other areas. To remove body fat, you must burn calories, and lots of them. The abdominal muscle group is relatively small, and the number of calories expended during a bout of sit-ups is minimal. A brisk walk or jog will expend more calories than hundreds of sit-ups. Even though "spot reduction" is not obtainable, exercising (be it sit ups, biking, eliptical, etc...) you will notice a reduction in your waist area more so than other areas of your body. This is because fat is usually stored disproportianately around the midsection. Another way that sit ups can "appear" to remove fat from the waistline is because doing sit ups will help strengthen your ab muscles. This will help to flatten and tigten your stomach muscles thus giving you a smaller and less flabby waistline. The benefits of sit ups in reducing your waistline are minimul. The main cause of ab flab is due to exessive calories in the diet which contributes to fat covering up the abdominal muscles. stand up

yes

yes, if you are still willing to exercise

Some considerations though. After the age of 30, your level of both testosterone and growth hormone will begin to decrease, What that means for muscle growth is that your ability to recover will also decrease. You will need to become more efficient in the exercises you choose (mainly compound exercises) and the time you spend working out. Don't work out more than 3 days per week. It will take longer to recover. Do some cardio exercise as well; roughly 3 times per week. Most important: pay attention to your diet. Balanced, with sufficient levels of protein, low fat, and moderate carbs. Eat as healthy as you can. Make sure you get enough sleep. This varies, but at least 7 to 8 hours per night. You wont make as good progress as a 20 year old who is going all out, but if you go all out, you will be stronger and in better shape than most guys you see on the street.

Anything you want to eat, but the best thing is fruit, and a lean source of protein about 30 minutes before you work out

== The short answer is "none"== Any exercise that "targets" a particular muscle or muscle group will enlarge it. For example, doing calf raises on the stairs will add muscle mass to your calves and make them appear larger if you do nothing to reduce the fat content of your body. And there is NO WAY to spot train fat reduction. In other words, if your calves are large because you carry body fat there, you must reduce your caloric intake and increase your aerobic output in order to reduce your overall weight.

The main motivating factor that one can achieve through a lifetime of physical fitness depends on the person. Some people are motivated by the fact that exercising regularly can help them reduce stress. Other people are motivated by the fact that exercising can help strengthen their muscles.

It is not a good idea to exercise on an empty stomach. There are no nutrients to fuel the exercise.

THE AMOUNT OF AIR YOUR LUNGS WILL TAKE IN EVERY MINUTE WHEN YOU EXERCISE...

It all depends upon the intensity and form of your exercise. You will be taking in MORE when you are doing a form of aerobic exercise, because oxygen is the main source of fuel in this case. Examples of Aerobic exercise are running, bicycling, and swimming- any form of exercise that requires oxygen over a longer period of time. Although, you will decrease your ability to burn fat when you do not take in enough oxygen (take enough breaths during your work out.)

On the contrary, in anaerobic exercise, you are not using oxygen as your fuel, because you are mainly using muscle power because you are exerting energy and force over a shorter period of time and therefore it will require less oxygen. An example of anaerobic exercise is weight lifting.

If you're looking for a precise answer including an accurate measurement of the amount of air you are taking in I would assume that the ratio of air taken in is greater than released air during exercise. Although I would think that the amount of air taken in would differ from person to person depending upon how great of shape they were in and other factors.
