Will walking on a treadmill on a deep incline help tone thighs?
In general, walking on a treadmil set at a zero degrees incline will add a minimal amount of leg muscle. Greater levels of leg muscle mass can be obtained via sprinting on a treadmill or walking/running uphill on a treadmill, but the muscle gain will not be significant as compared to the results obtained through heavy progressive resistance training (though similar results can be obtained through heavy sprinting training).

The simple answer to the question is yes you can but it depends. Typically you should not do speed training before weights primarily because speed training should be done when you fresh (not fatigued) Doing weighs before will tire you. However, there is a training effect called "Potentiation" which basically mean that if you excite your muscles through weight training before you do a sprinting effort your muscle will produce more power than without the stimulation - more force means that you will run faster. Of course care has to taken with how heavy the weight is and the volume of the session.

Which excersises strengthen your knees?
ANSWER If you have problems with your knees you should strengthen your thigh muscles (especially the rectus femoris - the main, big muscles in the thigh) by way of exercise.
If your thigh muscles are stronger they will absorb the pressure that comes onto the leg when you're walking (for example) in stead of it going to the knees.
If you can, join a gym. They have great machines to work those part of your body and there will always be someone around who can help you out.
If not possible, there are exercises you can do yourself at home as well. Good luck!
If you run early in the morning do you eat breakfast before you run or after you run?
Depends on what you're after.
Jog before breakfast forces the body to burn fat, as all easy energy has already been used up during the night. so it's "good" for that.
OTOH, turning fat into muscle fuel is slower than turning food into muscle fuel, so you can't push as hard.
So if you're training for strength/speed, it's "bad" and it'll give you a poorer workout.
However, by jogging (or doing any physical exercise for this matter) can actually have negative affects on your body. It is recommended you leave at least a 30 minute gap between your meal and your exercise to allocate enough time for your food to digest before you do any physical exercise.

How many days a week should you work out your chest?
Of cource. But it will feel really awkward if you are only working out in one place. The arms are common in working out alone, but i am not sure about the chest. NO! you need to let your body rest! I would only hit each body part once a week, twice at the most. Your body grows with rest. you do not grow in the gym you grow with eatting the right foods and letting your body recover. Also never workout a body part that is sore from a previous workout, You would be waisting your time due to the fact that body part is still recovering from the previous workout. hitting it would only delay growth!

I personally find it really useful to jog a little ways slowly then stretch well after working out. And sometimes when I'm really sore in an area i will ice it for twenty minutes. But every so often I just seem to be sore everywhere, so then I take some Ibuprofen and then hop in an ice bath.
