Endurance running, naturally, increases your stamina and forces you to learn to breathe in a batter manner. It also helps to tone the muscles in your arms and legs, as well as other places on your body. It's a full cardio workout.

What is a good health supplement for muscle building?

For an average guy there's really little need for supplements. An ordinary healthy diet will give you all the nutrients you'll be able to metabolise anyhow. Only people who work out really, really hard (and often) actually need supplements. They MIGHT do "normal" people some good only if they're not managing their diets.

Is walking or riding a bike better for the environment?

They're pretty much the same, as neither need any fuel and don't have any emissions.

If you're really strict, walking is a little bit better because less energy is needed to make the shoes than to make the bike.

OTOH, maybe you can use the bike instead of the car for some trips, which would make the bike better.

When did meditation start?

Nobody knows exactly. Indian civilization was born from the fusion of the Aryan and the Indus Valley cultures, which seems to have occurred about 2000 B.C. Parts of the ritual sacrifice of the religion of the ancient Aryans were lyrical, life-affirming hymns in an ancient form of Sanskrit that were meant for incantation. Eventually, Brahmins attempted to explain the meanings of these ancient hymns and accompanying rituals, and these commentaries developed into a sacred heritage that was passed on from one generation to the next. They became the Vedas, India's scriptures. The word "veda" comes from the root "vid", which means, "to know." According to tradition, the knowledge of the Vedas was revealed to humanity at the very dawn of time. What we think of as Hindu meditation practices were designed to inspire us to experience transcendent reality for ourselves. So, it is reasonable to assume that Hindu meditation practices have been around for several thousand years--and perhaps as many as five thousand years.

What is the best way to slim thighs?

Fat loss can only happen from your whole body, not single zones. You can gain fat everywhere by getting an office job and eating McDonalds. You can lose it everywhere by eating well and getting regular exercise. But you can't shrink one alone. You can, however, lose body fat with exercise and good eating and also do difficult leg exercises to make the muscles in your legs grow. Do things like squats, lunges, weighted leg extensions, running and cycling to make your leg muscles strong.

New

You actually can just work on one area to make it slimmer and firmer. I suggest that you do things like alternate lunges and lifts. Lifts are where you lie down as if you are about to do a sit up but instead you lift your pelvis so from your shoulders to you knees are in line. I advise that you do about 10- 15 or maybe 20 reps of that, the advanced version of that is where you have a stretchy band around your knees and as you lift your pelvis you are also working your outer thighs by pulling that band apart, the band just creates resistance for a better workout. Just do this everyday.

What is an leisurely walk?

A person could take a stroll, or go for a stroll.

How do you build muscle without using weights?

Why not use weights? This matters actually. Weights are used because their weight provides resistance to movement forcing you to use more strength with triggers the building of muscle. How often you do these excersizes, how much resistance/weight you use, how long a session is and how long you hold a position and how many reps you do all affect what sort of muscle you will put on. You will either strengthen existing fibers or create new ones. Usually people do both. You can end up bulking up very little, some or a lot (women and men will have different results.) If you want to avoid the expense of weights use water or sand in bottles or cans of food. These have weight and are cheaper. I would advise getting real weights tho, you can find them for $1 per lb so it is worth the expense to have something easier to hold. If they just aren't your thing try rubber bands, they sell special ones that also provide resistance like weights but instead of lifting something heavy you stretch something. Or you can use your own weight, crunches, push-ups, pull-ups, running and other equipment-free exercises make use of your own weight to provide the resistance. I like a combination, keeps things fresh and helps ensure that I am working all my muscles fairly evenly. Talk to your doctor or a fitness counselor for more information about a good routine for yourself. :)

What is a 12 year old workout plan for a girl?

Try to run at least ten minutes a day, if you can. Also 10-15 pushups and 20 curlups, or as many as you can do. Then do 50 repitions of a five or ten pound weight, at 10 rep intervals. Don't forget to stretch and try to do about 30 minutes of aerobic exersize (sports, active games, etc) a day. Hope this helps!
