Do people body build for a hobby?
Yes, some people do body build for a hobby. If they are interested in what they want their bodies to look like physically, it is often a motivator to make building the body a hobby. They may not necessarily do it for fun, but it can be quite intriguing to them. And getting the extra attention probably makes it worth it.
Squats are as much of a hamstring and quad excersize as the would be for the butt. try lunges instead of squats. you may find they work your desired area more effectively.
You can't spot reduce unfortunately, but you will find that doing regular fat burning cardio and the right kind of resistance training will help lots. I have the same issue (super broad shoulders) so I do cardio 3 or 4 times a week (running, cross trainer)and resistance training twice a week. I tone my upper body and build up my legs. For the upper body, light weights and high reps, lower body heavy weights and low reps. Hope that helps. Gotta work at it. KJ

There are ways of getting smaller breasts without the use of annoying expensive products or even more expensive surgery. An easy way is to start a daily routine of exercise. Get a treadmill or just go running. Running and general exercise will reduce the size of your breasts and will also keep you in shape as well as losing some weight, exercise is the one of the most important parts of anyone's life, which is why it is so beneficial and has virtually no down side.

What ab exercises can you do if crunches are very uncomfortable?
There is a couple of things you can do. First the problem is making your stomach use to doing sit ups. Contracting your stomach during the day will help strengthen it some. Meaning suck it in and hold it for a couple of minutes, then relax your stomach it. Do this through out the day. Try regular sit ups with your feet under the bed and your hands behind your head, then lean forward until your torso touches your knees or close to them. Laying down leg lifts are good. And standing side bends helps also.
Why do your upper legs get a tingling sensation after stopping light to heavy exercise?
Unfortunately there are many possible answers to this question. One possibility could be that the nerves which exit from your lumbar vertebrae may be irritated from misalignment's in your spine which are causing radiating effects to your lower extremities. Physical exertion may only provide temporary relief of these symptoms, so when your body is in a state of rest the tissues supporting your spine can shorten, thereby causing your reticular symptoms to appear. See your chiropractor and have x-rays performed on your lumbar spine. Another reason could simply be you were out of shape and not using those muscles. When I first started going to the gym and did resistant training my upper legs tingled and I could hardly walk the next day. LOL That was a sure sign I needed to keep up with my exercising techniques.
What kind of elliptical machine should you buy if you are overweight and beginning to exercise?
Buy one with a wide range of motion for your legs. This will help you use the machine for longer. Other models do not have a wide range of motion thus limiting your progress in the long run. Also, make sure it comes with a heart rate monitor if that is something you need to watch out for during workouts.

hmmm.. i`m thinking that rosatia [can`t spell it] might be a cause or it`s the same thing with a skin breakout - it doesn`t have to happen allover. i don`t exactly know so this isn`t the BEST advice but ehhh.. it`s a start =]
You should lose fat all over your body which will be toning you legs and stomach. Try jogging for 45-60 min every other day.
Are there any good alternatives for your quads if squats are bad for your knees?
Squats are not bad for your knees if done correctly. But if you have knee injuries you can do leg extensions.
I would first consult your MD and a good PT (Physical Therapist) not a personal trainer, Sport medice kind and really look at the nature of the injury.
You may find that 3/4-1/2 squats are allowable as are leg extensions.
Unfortunately I would guess that if you suffered a serious knee injury, full squats will not be recommended. And becarefull of relying on braces and supports, one needs to remember that most times injuries and pain are your bodies way of telling you something. Take time let your body heal and work back cautiously.
Squats or leg press are a safe exercise if done correctly as they are a closed chain exercise, ie a multiple joint movement with feet against a solid base. Leg extensions are open chain, single joint movement and feet not against a solid base, which increases forces in the knee. Depending on the type of knee injury depends on which exercise you should choose. If unsure, make an appointment with a sports therapist or physio.
try lunges, they help your butt too

How do you make your breasts firm again after you have lost weight?
chest exercises such as bench presses are capable of lifting the upper body, particularly the breasts, as the skin is raised by the developing muscle underneath thereby creating greater tension.
this would be the least drastic solution with results - the mammary is a tissue incapable of expansion and contraction through exercise and thus unable to become taut itself. of prime concern for you would be tighting the skin (through isolated muscle techniques, sometimes referred to as 'toning' exercises), or further reduction of excess fat, through general techniques including proper dieting, and elementary exercise (running, skippping, etc - non-specific in terms of muscle). i mention this for whilst chest development will aid you towards your goal, the muscles built will be precisely those of your chest, and thus excessive exercise of this manner ensures a strong, and eventually visible chest muscle, without an equal breast firmness (e.g. see female muscle-building competetitions).
If a significant amount of weight has been lost (through appropriate means, excluding limb removal), skin which has been stretched will "sag" and form parts of the body which can be mistaken for further fat. In such a situation, chest development will aid but to a limited extent dependent on the degree of sagging. The skin is difficult to tighten through any means but muscle development however, and thus perhaps coupling chest-specific exercises with those which will strengthen your sides, such as standing straight, lifting your left arm, and attempting to reach as far down your leg with your right hand as possible, shifting your body to the right - without bending your legs. (shifting your body to the right as in, not reaching forward as you would when trying to touch your toes). Repeat in reverse for your left side. I am writing this on memory, but doing so should gradually tighten the muscles near your shoulder blades/armpits, which will to a degree operate to tighten your chest.
Chest exercises I can recommend beyond bench presses are the standard push-up. Either fully outstretched on the ground, or, on your knees, pushing up in this position (reduces the weight being borne by your arms, and thus is a easier method of intially approaching push ups), or standing and completing push-ups against the wall.
Do note however, muscle development will only work to a certain level. It will improve your physique, but as there is no direct way by which the skin or breast itself can be 'developed' at an adult age, using musles to tend either towards a greater firmness is limited. Eat properly too to help, and remember that plastic, or "corrective" surgery can artifically resolve physical issues, but does not resolve the psychological issues which would provoke one to undergo such drastic efforts :) good luck!
Press-up's perk up your clevrage line!! and also doing the bench press helps. good luck!
Should you eat before or after you exercise?
Eating Before or After Exercise:
Why would your waist be larger if you have lost weight?
If you have lost a lot of weight, sometimes your skin won't react as quickly. It could be loose skin that's making your waist bigger. Try toning your midsection. There are tons of "get a tiny waist" exercises in magazines. ITS ALSO POSSIBLE THAT YOU ARE RETAINING WATER.
depends on quality of ecliptical machine,the accuracy of data the user inputs-ie weight,and most importantly-other factors which typically are not entered in the machine such as users age,and body fat%-machines typically use a average for these factors so that they can compute calories burned- having said all that-typically on a commercial gym quality machine- are within 90% accuracy of all users-if your younger and more muscular than average-you will most likey be burning more calories than machine shows.
How do you reduce fat around your jaw and mouth?
This is a really simple exercise and you can do it anywhere. When you can, just move your jaw up and down, tensing as you do that. Do it 100 times a day or so, and the fat will melt off your jaw.
Your body puts fat on in its own way, there's little you can do to eliminate fat from a specific area unless you try risky liposuction. Professional models have that skinny neck and sunken cheeks because the rest of their body is also very low in fat. The only real solution is cardiovascular-intensive exercise. Once you drop some pounds, it will be reflected in your face and neck as well.
How long should you wait to exercise your abs after eating?
There is no relationship between one and the other. Exercise your abs any time you like (just don't weaken them before larger, more difficult exercises like squats where you need their support for safety). If you're trying to lose fat off your stomach, doing ab exercises will not do the slightest thing about that. You cannot lose fat locally, only from your entire body simultaneously. The relatively small size of your abs compared to the big, hungry muscles like your legs, glutes, chest and back muscles, means that they can only do a tiny bit for your metabolism.
lunges and squats!!! a few sets a week, and you will see a major improvement!! Another quick one is to be flat on the floor with your knees bent, lift your butt area up, as high as you can go, pushing your middle area towards the ceiling. You WILL feel this one. That is one of the best exercises for that area and you can feel it working. Again a few sets a week and you will start to see a difference.
