Why do you feel hungry after heavy exercise?
Most individuals become thirsty after exercise because the body loses water through it's pores as sweat. However, besides drinking water, the body should be replenished with a healthy form of electrolytes to keep body functions running properly.
The floor exercise shows how they can combine their stunts with their artistic dance. The gymnasts have to find a way to combine power with being graceful. Its not just stunts which can throw some gymnasts. It mainly adds more than just tumbling to the sport.
How do you lose belly fat and gain muscle?
when you want to loose fat you have to eat less calories than you burn. when you want to gain muscle you eat more protein (meats) and exercise more. the powders that say they will give you more muscle are a lie. even if you do work out and take the powders your body will only use what it needs. most of the powder you use are extracted out of your body. ether way to gain a healthy body is to lead a healthy lifestyle
For every 1500 calories less than your body needs you lose 1lb of weight same goes for adding weight for every 1500 calories more you take in than your body needs you'll gain 1lb. if your body RDA (recommended daily allowance) is 2500 (for typical males) and you consume 1500 calories you need to burn off that last 500 through exercise to lose 1lb in weight.
For gaining muscle you need to do resistance training by mainly using weights, weights tear muscle fibers the heavier you lift the more they tear, when your body is at rest they repair them selfs bigger and stonger to take the load your lifting, once your used to it move up in weights.
As an added bonus though by gaining muscle the more energy you burn making it easier to lose weight, muscles increase your motabolism so essentially muscles burn fat.
Can you starve yourself without exercise and still lose weight?
Yes, but you will die. Yes, but make it a fast, you need to drink a lot of water, eat all the fruits, vegetables, your want, some nuts seeds and beans. The more leafy greens the better. If you are overweight this will be good.

There are only a few reliable tests to measure flexibility. The best instrument is a goniometer (a very simple and cheap type of protractor). It can be used to measure the flexibility of most joints and the range of motion for dozens of movements.
1) Sit and reach test -- The standard flexibility test that measures lower back and hamstring flexibility.
2) trunk rotation test

How can you make a person pass out?
A person passes out from a lack of oxygen to the brain. This is a dangerous condition and should not be done intentionally.
What works best free weights or machines?
There is a big debate about whether to use free weights or machines. In short, free weights involve more motor unit involvement. Motor units are are combination of nerves, muscle fibers and soft tissue that are connected physically to and activated electrically to the spine.
Machines don't usually require any balancing such as when doing a free weight bench press.
Machines tend to be safer because if you let go, there is probably nothing that will drop on you and injury you like a barbell will (if, for instance, a barbell slips when doing a bench press).
good luck to you in whatever you choose, one or the other or both.

How can you exercise your abs if you have a bad back?
First, all the ideas that come after this answer are great. Use whichever one works for you. These are important, and my next tip should only be a supplement to those.
Second, and what I do, is flex. Whenever you're thinking about it, just flex your abs. For example, as I'm typing this answer I'm flexing. When you're in school or at work, just flex under you're shirt. Nobody knows you're doing it, and it works. It's not amazingly fast, but it works. I did this all summer. When I'm at the pool (and I'm there a lot) I have to take my shirt off, so there's a good time to just start flexing your abs. What this does is contracts your muscles. Muscle tone is just a constant contraction of the muscles that becomes involuntary. The more you do it, the more you are training your abs to stay that way. This is literally what you call "muscle memory."
When you have a bad back and want abs dont do sit ups or crunches as u can see ur not getting results. I have been using the " Bender Ball" and I have gotton such great results and I am only 11 years old!
When you have a 'bad back' it is often because you have not developed your abdominal muscles. In fact if you develop and use your abdominal muscles correctly, you may well cure your bad back.
I recommend Pilates to you as it teaches you how to use your abs to support all your movements from a 'Stable centre'and without putting unnecessary strain on your back.
I am a body builder and a few years ago ruptured a disc in the lower back. with my bad back i cant do the regular situp. but can do the more effective slow crunch, also you can lay on your back and do leg lifts, both legs at the same time is too stressfull on the back so I will do one leg at a time while the other is drawn half way up with the foot planted on the ground for support. also it can help to place your hands flat under your buttucks, this takes stress off the lower back as well. your best bet is to stick with slow crunches holding at the top for a second on each rep.
How do you lose weight in one week?
Depends upon how much weight you'd want to lose. You would have to exercise a lot, and cut down a lot on eating.
However, that is NOT a healthy method. Doctors and dieticians recommend losing weight gradually, allowing a whole month for every 4 to 8 pounds you want to lose.
Do not starve yourself, or skip meals, or try throwing up.
Here's a program for the period in which you want to lose weight:
Try to get plenty of moderate aerobic exercise (intense exercise may damage your joints). It isn't essential to join a gym; you can do sit-ups, pushups, dumbbell-lifting, jumping-jacks, and many other basic exercises at home. Walk as much as possible. Bicycling and swimming are good too. Even for people who are not trying to lose weight, being active helps your digestion, your circulation, and other body processes.
Even more important than exercise, is avoiding junk foods and sweetened drinks such as soda. Try to avoid refined flour and pasta, processed foods, fried foods, and fatty cuts of meat. Preferably consume no added sugar, and as little added salt as possible.
Our great-grandparents didn't have the epidemic of obesity we see today, because they had a less-sedentary lifestyle, a much more natural diet, and they ate reasonably-sized portions.
Eat 3 not-large-portioned meals per day; do not skip breakfast; and avoid sugary snacks. If you want a snack, try (for example) an apple or a handful of unsalted nuts.
Limit your calories (best to consult a doctor or nutritionist concerning the amount), and weigh yourself at the same time each day, 2-3 times per week. If you see your weight diminishing at a safe, reasonable rate (1-2 pounds/week), keep it up.
Once you've reached your goal, increase your calorie intake somewhat, so that you can maintain your present weight. And you can then have small amounts of sweetened foods or junk food on occasion (if at all), along with your regular healthy foods. But keep checking your weight 2-3 times/week.
Avoid crash-diets, fad diets, diet pills, etc. These may be harmful, and need not be considered by people who have adopted an otherwise healthy diet.
More guidelines:
Don't concentrate on specific foods so much as on a balanced, healthy diet plus exercise.
Healthy nutrition means eating what your body needs, while ingesting as few harmful things as possible. It has also been described as getting enough of each of the major food categories, in healthy forms (grains, fruits, vegetables, protein, dairy, etc.; plus plenty of water).
In general, an example of a healthy starting point could be a menu of whole-grain foods and bread, a good amount of vegetables, legumes, some fruits and nuts, fish, lean meats in not-large amounts, and some dairy. However, this may need adjusting according to one's lifestyle, age, health, weight and other factors at the outset; and also later, as one sees what works for him/her in particular.
Also...whenever you feel queasy, nauseous, constipated or otherwise not completely well, try to remember what you've eaten over the last several hours or the last day. This is one factor in adjusting one's food habits.

What is the best exercise to slim down big legs?
Swimming. swimmings good especially for the whole body. I would suggest that you cut down on carbohydrates in the evenings as these are energy foods which the body uses up during excercise or stores as fat when sleeping and resting. Protein foods can stop hunger feelings for longer periods. Great when dieting??. A balanced diet is paramount. You dont neccesarilly have to reduce the amount you consume, more so the content between fibre proteins carbs . the less sugar the better. Peanuts contain large amounts of protein. As for excercise, a brisk or fast walk can burn more calories than running. As the muscles develop they will require more energy and hence burn more fat so long as your stomach is not full of food, which would be used up first. Results of excercise will appear after a few weeks, not immediately so dont be put off. Good luck

What builds up in muscles after a few seconds of intense activity?
Lactic acid is produced by muscles during intense activity. The human body has a way of removing the lactic acid. When the production of lactic acid overcomes the body's ability to remove it, a side stitch commonly occurs.
Regular exercise can improve the body's ability to cope with lactic acid buildup.
How much is a springfree trampoline?
My trampoline cost me about £119.
Trampolines very in price. They usually range from about 300-800 dollars. Depending on the quality and company that you buy it from. Hope this helps!
The cost of a trampoline differs depending on what you're looking for. Different sized trampolines have different prices, so 8ft trampolines are the cheapest and then 14ft are the most expensive, although oval and rectangular trampolines are different.
Safer, higher specification trampolines are also more expensive, but they offer significantly higher protection. If you buy a trampoline with a safety enclosure it will alos cost more but they are essential in protecting the user.
I work for a company that sell trampolines from £99 up to around £600.
