How long will it take to tone thighs hips and belly?

A huge factor will depend on your level of motivation and dedication as well as your body type. Physical results are different for every body. Results depend on a complexity of factors such as existing muscles, your natural build, metabolism, fat distribution and many other factors. If you take time to improve your body and work out religiously you should bear results quickly. The average person who works out 3-4 times a week and makes healthy dietary changes bear results within 9 weeks. To sculpt your body into a toned work of art will usually take anywhere between 6-8 months. There is no exact way of telling *how long it will take to tone thighs, hips and belly* since only you possess the answer. Just stay dedicated, and you'll be able to do it!

How can a 12 year old be fat?

Well, I have no idea if you are overweight because you didn't state your weight. The best way to find out is to do a web search for BMI. That's Body Mass Index. It gives a general healthy guideline for weight based on height and age. That will let you know if you are within healthy levels for your age and height.

Explain What happens to the heart and why this happens?

The heart is divided into two sides each side is divided again into two chambers the atrium upper chamber and ventricle lower chamber blood vessels veins carry blood to the heart from the rest of the body this blood carries carbon dioxide and cellular waste products the blood goes into the right atrium and then to the right ventricle where it is then pumped to the lungs to dispose of wastes and receive a fresh oxygen supply from the lungs the blood returns to the heart It returns to the left atrium and then to the left ventricle the blood is then pumped out of the heart by the left ventricle into the aorta the left ventricle is the chamber of the heart that is responsible for pumping blood to all parts of the body the aorta sends this blood to small arteries, which carry the oxygen-rich blood to the rest of the body. information obtained from http://www.besthearthealth.com/about.HTML

What are Cardiovascular systems response to steady state exercise?

Cardiovascular

Upon steady state exercise the cardiovascular system will react in several ways,

Heart Rate: Typically during exercise heart rate will increase. This is in order to increase blood flow to the working muscles to allow for increased respiration - in order for the muscles to work efficiently. Prior to exercise the regular resting heart rate is around 60 - 80bpm but when you exercise the heart rate will go up from that because it's an initial response to the exercise. After a few minutes the heart rate will stop rising and stay constant. This is because the athlete has been jogging for example, continuously and isn't psychically exerting himself. This is known as steady-state heart rate where the demands of the active tissues can be adequately met by the cardiovascular system. However, there is an exception to this

During prolonged steady-state exercise, particularly in a hot climate, a steady-state heart rate will gradually increase. This phenomenon is known as cardiac drift and is thought to occur due to increasing body temperature

Cardiac output: Cardiac output is the amount of blood pumped by the heart in 1 minute measured in L/min. It is a product of stroke volume and heart rate (SV x HR). If either hearts rate or stroke volume increase, or both, cardiac output increases also. Cardiac output increases proportionally with exercise intensity. With steady state exercise changes in either heart rate or stroke volume will have an impact on the other component. The Heart rate and the stroke volume stops rising and becomes constant and Cardiac output does the same

Blood Flow: As you exercise, the blood vessels in your muscles dilate and the blood flow is greater, just as more water flows through a fire hose than through a garden hose. Your body has an interesting way of making those vessels expand. As ATP gets used up in working muscle, the muscle produces several metabolic by products (such as adenosine, hydrogen ions and carbon dioxide). These by products leave the muscle cells and cause the capillaries (small, thin-walled blood vessels) within the muscle to expand or dilate (vasodilatation). The increased blood flow delivers more oxygenated blood to the working muscle.

Blood that would have gone to the stomach or the kidneys goes instead to the muscles, and the way that happens shows how the body's processes can sometimes override one another. As your muscles begin to work, the sympathetic nervous system, a part of the automatic or autonomic nervous system (that is, the brainstem and spinal cord) stimulates the nerves to the heart and blood vessels. This nervous stimulation causes those blood vessels (arteries and veins) to contract or constrict (vasoconstriction). This vasoconstriction reduces blood flow to tissues. Your muscles also get the command for vasoconstriction, but the metabolic by products produced within the muscle override this command and cause vasodilatation,

Stroke volume: Stroke volume is the amount of blood ejected per beat from left ventricle and measured in ml/beat. Stroke volume to its highest during sub maximal exercise and doesn't increase during maximal exercise. The greatest increase of stroke volume increases in the transition from rest to moderate exercise, during maximal exercise stroke volume doesn't go over its peak of 120 - 140 per minute Starling's law states that the stroke volume is limited towards the venous return, of which is the amount of the blood that is available to enter the left atrium and pass to the left ventricle

How do you lose stomach and thigh fat VERY fast that is not aerobics?

This is something simple you can do at home without equipment. Do leg raises. This will also tone your tummy; lay on your back and lift your feet into the air. Keeping your arms beside you and your back and bottom on the floor, lift your legs up to a 90 degree angle and bring them back down so they are just off the floor. Repeat this for as long as you can.

Remember: Make sure your heels do not touch the floor when you bring your legs back down.

Also, your legs do not have to reach a 90 degree angle, you only have to lift them as high as they can go.

How many calories are burned during aerobatics flying?

you burn double what you would burn if you wernt in the water

Can You Lose Weight By Bounceing On A Trampoline?

Only in connection with a controlled diet. With the foods that we have available today it's so easy to overeat that it's close to impossible to exercise away the excess.

But sure, with a controlled diet regular exercise will indeed help with weight loss. If nothing else it'd be hard to snack while jumping.

Is it possible to lose more than two pounds of fat a week when you're getting all the calories and nutrition you need each day and you walk more than four hours a day?

It's pretty unlikly. Here's why: 1 lb of fat is roughly 3500 calories. Plus the more lean you get that number goes up to lose the next lb. of pure fat. 300 calories is 35 miles of walking for the average weight person. If your walking 3 mph you'd have to walk a lot more than 4 hours. You could possible eat 1000 calories less than your maintance amount but you'd be pretty hungry, feel really tired and could possibly get sick on top of it. If you walked 3 mph for 4 hours a day 7 days you'd walk roughly 84 miles in a week. That would roughly be 2.5 lbs of fat in a week if you ate the perfect amount of food for your maintance. Keep in mind maintance will go down the more you walk. It would be better to do a little weight training in conjunction with your walking. Muscles burn calories. I hope that helps. A lb of pure fat is bigger than a baseball size but not quite as big as a softball. So to lose 2 lbs of fat a week is doing pretty good. This assumes you do not have any thyroid problems and your body is buring fat like normal. Diet pills and other things could have changed your ability to burn fat in which it could be harder. I have my B.S. in Exercise Science. Yes, it's possible, but many factors play a role, like what food you're eating, your body size, etc. Physicians will tell you that losing more than 1-2 pounds a week can be both dangerous and lead to incresed weight gain down the line.

How do you catch athletes foot?

Is walking good for losing stomach fat?

Attempting to reduce fat in just one part of your body at a time is likely to be disappointing.

Fat reduction works like this: When you try to lose fat through calorie-burning exercises, the reduction occurs all throughout your body. Unlike muscle-building, it cannot be specifically targeted to one region. Also, the reduction in fat will not be quickly apparent because it will not be focused on only one spot on your body. So it's helpful to have a "slowly but surely" attitude.

Note that exercises mostly serve to tone the muscle underneath the fat. But if you want visible muscles, the fat has to be burned off first. For that, the main thing is to ditch the junk food and the sweetened drinks. Exercise alone might not be sufficient.

Here's a program for the period in which you want to lose weight:

Plenty of moderate aerobic exercise, no sweetened liquids at all, and no junk food at all. Preferably no sugar, and as little added salt and processed foods as possible. Eat 3 small-portioned meals/day; do not skip breakfast; and avoid snacks. Limit your calories (better to consult a doctor or nutritionist concerning the amount), and weigh yourself 2-3 times/week. Ignore the sensation of hunger. If you see your weight diminishing at a safe, reasonable rate (1-2 pounds/week), keep it up.

Once you've reached your target weight, increase your calorie intake somewhat. And you can then have small amounts of sweetened foods or junk food on occasion (if at all), along with your regular foods (not instead of them). But keep checking your weight 2-3 times/week.

Avoid crash diets, diet pills etc. Avoid fatty cuts of meat. Walk as much as possible. Bicycling and swimming are good too.

More guidelines:

Don't concentrate on specific foods so much as on a balanced, healthy diet plus exercise. Plenty of moderate exercise rather than intense exercise, which can damage your joints.

Good nutrition means eating what your body needs, while ingesting as few harmful things as possible. It has also been described as getting enough of each of the major food categories (grains, fruits, vegetables, protein, dairy, etc.; plus plenty of water).

This will vary somewhat from one person to another; and I don't believe that there's any universal diet that can be prescribed for everyone. Avoid best-sellers with their perennial fad diets. And think twice before using any dietary supplements or weight-loss pills.

In general, one's starting point can be a menu of whole grains, whole-wheat bread, a good amount of vegetables, some fruits and nuts, fish, lean meats (in not-large amounts), and some dairy. However, this must be tweaked according to one's health, weight and other factors at the outset; and also adjusted over time, as one sees what works for him/her in particular.

What exercise helps to get a bigger butt?

Get a personal trainer or pro advise and tell exactly what you want to achieve. Don't just ask the guy at the gym unless he is professionally graduated. If you plan it yourself, get the following books: * Women's Strength Training Anatomy (Frederic Delavier) * Fit for your shape (Matt Roberts) * The body sculpting bible for women (James Villepigue) Supplements with protein, Zinc, Magnesium and Vitamin C and complex supplements as Femimore can add a lot of results in most cases. Do not overdue it, more than 45 minutes exercise continuously can be negative, producing excess Cortisol, a hormone with great importance in how we assimilate fats. Do not train every day, the muscle only develops with alternate periods of exercise-rest. Weight training sculpts you, Pilates gives position, dance (best are Latin dances) put your body to burn the necessary excesses and work the curves, skating principally ice skating shape glutes and hips best. The best exercise to do is lunges and kick-ups.

The American Council for Exercise (ACE) did a scientific research in 2006 on this subject matter and found a set of exercises that most activates the glutes. Those exercises include Lunges, Squats, Step-ups and couple more. Exercises will increase your gluteal muscle mass and tone your butt. Of course it goes without saying that a good diet is equally important. We are our own worst critic when it comes to our bodies. However, a common question for most women or men is how to tone their butt or how can we get a little more meat for the derrière! So, how do we achieve this goal? It's quite simple and I am here to describe key exercises that will help you fit nicely into those pants so you can display your ASSETS! Squats is the mother of all exercises that works your overall legs and it can also help emphasize or target your butt. Simply placing some weighted plates on the ground and half of your feet will be positioned on top of it which will be your toes. This will target or activate your muscles in your glutes when performing the squat. Ensure you go down slow so you can feel the stretch and remember to really squeeze at the top. Lunges is a excellent after finishing your squats and you will be burning. This is a great exercise and once you are done you should be able to bounce a quarter off your butt and don't be surprised if it travels for another 10 feet! Make sure your feet are shoulder width apart, and one leg will step forward landing with the heel first. The knee should be exactly 90 degrees and directly over the toes. Alternate both legs when performing this. The good thing about lunges is that you can perform other angles such as walking lunges, wheel lunges, side to side lunges, front lunges, and reverse lunges. A good finisher if you are up for the challenge after completing the squat and lunges is body squats. Perform a regular squat with no weights and you'll only be using your bodyweight. Again, place your toes over the weighted plates so more emphasis is on your butt. Perform about 30 reps, immediately finishing that you will do another 30 reps pointing your toes outwards working your inner thighs. Very key to push off with your heels and stay within the tight range. Challenge yourself and build up to 100 reps or more per angle. You should be on the floor by now and not able to walk or sit on a toilet for days! No butts about that and this is a great butt blaster workout! For building up the rear end do squats and lunges.

How many jumping jacks for a 180 lb person do to burn 100 calories?

I verified this. You burn a calorie for every 3 jumping jacks. If you hold weights or 2.5 pound dumbbells in each hand than it'll cut that by half. So, the answer is 300.

Describe a long term effect of exercise on the skeletal system?

Regular exercise can make the bones in the skeletal system stronger.

How can you firm your butt and get rid of the cellulite underneath?

Cellulite is just fat. It looks different because the skin is thin in that area, but if you'll get rid of the weight, you'll get rid of the cellulite. Diet and exercise are the only way, unless you want to go for the liposuction.

What are the squat joint actions and prime movers?

The squat works many muscles in the body in some form. The primary movers are the hamstrings, quads, and glutes. Assuming you are doing them correctly with your knees out and squatting below parallel, you should be using your hip adductors as well.

How can you build muscle and lose 5 pounds?

  • losing 5 pounds in one day would be water weight not body fat
  • Run a few miles, do sit ups, push ups, and lift weights.

run a couple miles and do sit ups and push ups and lift weights
You can't lose 5 pounds in one day but try losing 2 pounds per week.
Just know it is very unhealthy to lose more than 3 pounds A WEEK!!!! Slow and steady wins the race. Also, if you try to lose weight really fast (Wich you can't anyway) It would go so fast and once you lost all that weight then you woul dstill be just as hungry and it won't help AT ALL!!! That's why liposuction is another NO because your eating habits will not change


Cannot be done. Losing 5lb a day is insane, even over a week that's extreme. Adjust your diet and start exercising (cardio is really good for weight loss), try and aim for at least a 500 calorie deficit each day throughout the week (7 x 500 calories = 3500 calories = 1 lb). For meal ideas you should search for weight cutting recipes on the internet.

Good luck on your weight loss journey :)
