During exercise, you breathe in a little amount of oxygen, and give out lots of carbon dioxide. This is why afterwards, you are left breathless.

How many pull ups should a 14 year old do?
3 Months before i turned 14 my personal record was 88 push ups (wide arms,medium speed, done on carpet). With this I set the record in my school (8/8th grade). Other friends at my age I know excercise actively can do upto a maaximum of 50-55 push ups (3 people) and the rest can do under 30.
I've been excercising for 3 years, and push ups for about a year. I have to admit i sometimes do brakes of excersing (long and short-term). So I'd say for someone who hasn't actively done push-ups, should be able to do ATLEAST 6-7, if he can do 15 than he is in nice shape. A 14-yo that has been excercising actively for over a year should be able to do a nice ammount over 100. If he is serius about this and keeps good condition and shape, someone at this age can do upto 300 push ups..Anything above that is talent and durability. I whould really like to see a section in Guines Book of Records for junior push upts (13/14 - 16/17 yo boys/girls).

When should you take whey protein before or after workout?
For me ,as a body builder, i will recommend taking it not more than half an hour after your workout, make sure the body parts you aiming that day are really exhausted before you drink. If you want for higher recovery , take it in the morning straight away after you wake up, as on that time your body protein is the least, replenishing it helps on repair on muscle. But taking after work out is a must (:

How do you gain muscle and weight fast?
Well, that depends on what you mean by "fast."
Increase the protein in your diet. Work out with weights. To increase muscle mass you want to stick with heavier weights and less repetitions (lighter weights and more repetitions will tone, not increase, muscle). You should give your muscles two days of rest between workouts. Lifting every day will not make you stronger faster. It will make you sorer faster, give your muscles less time to recover and all of that will make you give up faster.
Don't bother with expensive "muscle building powders" endorsed by bodybuilders. That's just protein in powder form. And stay away from steroids.
Make sure that you do the reps and don't worry to much about the weight . You have to do the most weight you can do for less reps. No more than 8 reps but preferably 4-6. And yes protein, that is what feeds your muscles if your muscles cannot eat they WILL NOT grow. One more thing and I cannot stress it enough, creatine WILL help! You do not need to buy the fancy stuff. Take it with grape juice!

How many calories burned swimming?
- I was told that you can burn approximately 450 calories in an hour, but only if you are swimming as if in a practice. That means you don't stop very often to relax. You have to keep the pace going. Doing something like a butterfly stoke (which requires a lot of effort) solidly for one hour might burn 500-700 depending on your weight.
- I'm not sure if this is correct but I heard that if you can manage to build up your pace and get to the stage where you can swim one whole mile in 33 minutes it will burn approximately 425 calories. I'm joining my school swim team next week.
- The number of calories burned swimming depends on how fast you are swimming, what swimming stroke you use, the amount of effort required from you, how far you swim, and how often you rest. Please feel free to ask the question again and include more detail.
