Why do go red during exercise?
Heart rate and stroke volume will both increase when you exercise because the heart will have to beat faster in order to transport more blood around the body, and every beat will pump a larger volume of blood out of the heart. This means that oxygen and essential nutrients can be transported around the body more quickly and efficiently to where they are needed. Blood pressure is the pressure of the blood in the arteries as it travels around the body and due to this, it will also increase as a result of increasing heart rate and stroke volume. Respiratory rate and tidal volume will both increase because you breathe more often and heavier when exercising. As a result of this, respiratory minute volume (RR*TV) will increase because the amount of gas inhaled or exhaled from the lungs in a minute will get larger. All of these changes will begin to happen as soon as you start exercising and will continue to increase until you finish exercising.

What muscles does deadlifting train?
Deadlifts use most of the muscles in your body in some capacity, though the primary muscles involved in concentric contraction are:
- Hamstrings
- Glutes (butt) and
- to a small extent - Calves
and isometric contraction:
- Wrists
- Core muscles
- Upper back (Trapezius)
- Lower back (Erector Spinae)
A wider foot stance will recruit the hips and legs more while a narrower stance focuses on the lower back. Deadlifts are also one of the best ways to improve grip, as long as you don't use straps and use a pronated grip with as heavy a weight as you can.
Deadlifts, along with squats (both with the barbell, of course), are widely considered to be the best exercises you can perform in terms of building mass, bone density, balance, and posture. In other words, if you're not doing these exercises, you're wasting your time in the gym.

What are the benefits of range of motion exercises?
I don't have an answer and was looking for one. I don't have arthritis. I do cardio daily and heavy weights 3X a week. Someone criticized my weight training form as having insufficient range of motion. I am wondering, SO WHAT?
I'm not interested in any form of competition, but only from a health perspective. My own prejudice is that the more range of motion, say in a bench press, the more risk to say damaging your rotator cuff. Same with squats -- too deep means (to me) risk to your knees.

Are crunches the best exercise for belly fat?
No it doe not. You have to watch what you eat.
No, but it will work out those ab muscles. However, those nice abs are covered by a layer of fat and that is what you're trying to get rid of. Changing your eating habits first would be a good first step.
Crunches will only strengthen the muscles within the belly area. Even if you do 100s of crunches everyday and don't pick the right food to eat, those fats won't go away.
Hence, a combination of a good healthy diet and exercise will do burn belly fat. So, how are going to choose your food? Stay away from overeating fatty foods, it's alright to eat fats but don't eat too much of it and don't do it often. Healthy fats such as Omega 3 found in fish are are good.
Eat fruits and drink good amount of water daily. Don't let yourself hungry and craving for foods.
