What is the average weight of 5' 26-year-old?

There is no set answer for the average weight of a 5' 26-year-old, because body weight is a misleading measure. Since people have different builds, different people of the same height and sex can have the same percentage of body fat and yet have different body weights. Therefore, what is important is body composition. The reason for this is that muscle weighs more than fat. What counts more than your body weight is your percentage of body fat. If you are a male, your percentage of body fat should probably be about 10 to 15% for good health.If you are a female, your percentage of body fat should probably be about 15 to 20% for good health. To determine your percentage of body fat at home, obtain some plastic body fat calipers and do a simple skin-fold test. Body fat calipers are not expensive, are readily available to buy, and can replace a scale or balance.

How many miles a day should you run 2 lose 100 pounds in two months?

Losing 100 lbs in two months is not advised by most doctors, it is also usually a quick fix and not a way to create a sustainable lifestyle change.

However the math on this would be as follows:

3500 calories = 1 lb

Avg burn per mile 90-100 calories

To lose 100 lbs you would need to create a 350,000 calorie deficit. If your runs account for calories to create this deficit you would need to run 3888 to 3500 miles depending on size, speed, etc.

What is China's disposable income?

January, 2008: The annual per capita disposable income of farmers in Shanghai exceeded 10,000 yuan (about 1,369 U.S. dollars) for the first time last year, according to information released from an enlarged meeting of the leading groupof Shanghai City on rural work. Present estimates of "middle class" in China range from 100 million to 247 million, depending on how much income renders one "middle class." Assuming that an income of about$9000 is necessary to be considered middle class, China could have over 600 million middle class citizens by 2015. The China State Information Center, by contrast, considers those earning 50,000 yuan ($6,227) per year to be middle class - and expects 25% of the populace to qualify by 2010. Of course, the level of affluence commanded by each tier depends on where the household is situated. For example, to be considered middle class in Shanghai, China's most expensive city, a family would need to have a higher income than if it were living inland in Chengdu or Chongqing. Roughly 13.5 percent of the China's population now belongs to the middle class.

What age do you have to be to work out without stunting your growth?

The age variates, but its after you have stopped to grow, and that is after the puberty.

So your question is "when am I done with the puberty?"

That variates from 16 - 18 years, I cant be a 100 % sure, because we dont have any facts on that.

My advise it to workout regularly and not too hard, and don't only workout on one type of muscles. Don't use one sport, have two or three.

How do you do motionless exercise?

So I watched the infomercial on motionless exercise and I began to think about what the heck it could possibly be. I began trying to exercise my arms without moving, which basically pitted one muscle against another (I personally did 30 second intravals). For example, I did the poses that I would do if I was doing a bicep curl and was halfway through, but instead of using a weight I just used my other arm to press down. One arm straining to press up, one arm straining to press down. I did 30 seconds, then switched arms. Then I pressed my palms against one another as hard as I could for 30 seconds. Then I tried some stuff with my triceps by putting my arms up over my head and bending them both at right angles. One arms pushed up, one down, then switched. I did this for less than the 7 minutes for the last 3 days and I am SO sore. I haven't seen any results yet- since it's only been 3 days, but I'm a fairly strong female for not working out much (I can bench 80lbs) and I feel like this definitely could work. I haven't figured out how to do the legs or abs yet, but it says on the infomercial that you can do it sitting down so if anyone figures it out, let me know!
