What us the best way for a girl to get rid of body fat an build muscle?

It is hard to get rid of belly fat but the best way to do it is to go on a low fat and sugar diet. You will have to lose weight on your whole body to lose it on your belly, its pretty much impossible to just target belly fat.

How fast should you walk for exercise?

Your eventual goal should be 4 to 5 miles per hour. This would be a brisk walk - as if you were late for an important meeting or "walking with a purpose". If you can't walk this fast for 30-60 minutes, then start slower for a couple of weeks and you will improve. Also, in order to trigger the right type of calorie burning mode, it is important to start off slow and build into full speed - every walk. Your body will go into fat burning mode this way. If you start off fast right away, your body will burn off any sugar in your system for a quick burst of energy. Slowly building into speed will trigger the long-term energy burning mode, which uses your fat reserves - which is what you are trying to use up

The bottom line is to be able to sustain a steady walk for 30-60 minutes - however fast that is. Everyone is different, so go as fast as your current condition allows - you will improve over a 10 week period. The important think is to just do it.

What is the best way to lose weight when you are 60 years old?

Consult a doctor for the best course of action to take. A lifestyle change in addition to a good diet will definiatly contribute in the fight with weight-loss.

In general, assuming one is of average health with no disorders impacting weight; 1) Moderate exercise ever day, such as walking, bike riding, swimming, etc. 2) Several small, low calorie meals (concentrating on lean proteins and fresh vegetables and fruits) during the day as opposed to 3 larger meals at breakfast, lunch and dinner. 3) Education, will power, and persistence is the key to make the above mentioned possible. Also, you will to avoid sugary foods (sodas, cakes, cookies, candy) and foods high in saturated fats (full fat dairy, fatty meats, donuts, etc). Avoid highly processed foods filled with chemicals and preservatives. Study nutrition and get to know yourself. Be patient. Weight loss that comes all at once from a "crash diet" is more likely to return than weight lost in small increments over an extended period of time. View this "diet" as a permanent lifestyle change, not as a short-term fix to a weight problem.

Is it possible to get a flat stomach again after putting on lots of weight?

  • Try doing 50 sit-ups a day it only takes about 10 minutes or if you really are lazy I have tried those ab belts, they aren't that expensive and do work but doing sit-ups would help as well.
  • Also cardio exercise such as walking or jogging or walking works the best at 'fat burning' and toning up your stomach fast. Start out slow. 15-20 mins 3x a week then add to your time as your body adjusts to it. Sit ups are good but most people have a hard time with posture. I recommend getting a yoga ball. The big ones work best because you are constantly flexing your muscles, every muscle. There are many exercises you can do with the ball and you will see results fast especially if you add cardio exercise such as walking.
  • Eliminate (or severely restrict) refined (processed) carbohydrates. They are a major cause of fat accumulating around the abdomen. In place of refined (processed) carbohydrate, eat more 'fat burning' foods. Add to that cardio exercise. The best cardio exercise is walking because it is easier on your body than running or jogging and it is sustainable long term. To learn more about how to lose stomach fat, cardio exercise, fat burning foods, and for a list of refined (processed) carbohydrates, see the page links, further down this page, listed under Related Questions.

How do you build shoulder muscle quickly?

I'd have to separate this question into 2 sections: ANS: 1) How to build muscle quickly In order to get big bulky muscles, you want to use heavy weights with low reps. I'd suggest 3 sets of 8 reps. To find out what is an appropriate weight for you, you need to do an experiment. At the 6-8th rep of each set, you will want to feel 'muscle failure' - the point at which your muscles are struggling against the load and can't seem to carry much further. However if you want long lean muscles, you will need to do low weights with high reps. This will definitely build endurance muscles. ANS: 2) What kind of exercises build shoulder muscles The shoulder muscles are divided into 3 parts - the posterior, lateral and anterior deltoids. There are therefore different types of exercises for each of the parts. + Anterior - Push ups + Lateral - Hold dumbells comfortably at the side of ur legs while ur standing tall. Lift your hands slowly until ur arms are parallel to the ground and slowly return them again. + Posterior - Lean again a weight bench, your right arm and leg resting on it and leave the left leg standing on the ground. In ur left arm, hold the dumbell and lift it behind ur body, extending as far as you can. Ok hope this helps.

How do you keep your musculoskeletal system healthy?

Most of what is recommended is based on common sense. Some ways to keep the musculo-skeletal system healthy are:

  • Regular exercise and movement;
  • a healthy diet, that includes calcium for bones and proteins for muscles, along with all the required vitamins and minerals;
  • avoidance of persistent and frequent repetitive motions;
  • avoid injury, sprains, or strains using good exercise techniques, low impact exercise, improved balance with specific exercises, and exercises designed for the movement or sport planned;
  • wear appropriately fitting shoes with good arch support, and keep them in good repair;
  • prepare for sports or strenuous activity with strengthening and stretching;
  • don't be a weekend warrior and over do it after long periods without using your body;
  • keep good posture and body alignment;
  • sleep on a good mattress;
  • wear your seat belt in the car;
  • use proper body mechanics for heavy lifting.

Does running burn muscle?

In the long term, running will tend to develop muscle rather than burn it. Muscle development is more apparent if the exercise is anaerobic (short bursts of high intensity work) but will still happen to an extent after aerobic exercise (Longer, less intense activity).

The rate of development is dependent on many other factors such as diet, the level of exercise and other health issues. Poor nutrition can result in muscle loss rather than gain but this is normally an indication of health issues.

For those who are using exercise as part of a weight loss program, increase in muscle mass is often associated with loss of fat reserves. That means that although there may be periods when no weight loss is seen, measurements can still be reducing. Muscle has a higher density than fat, so the process of reducing fat and building muscle will result in less bulk rather than less weight.

What are examples of reverse muscle action of the human body?

How many calories does a trampoline burn?

Trampoline exercise strengthens each and every muscle, organ, tissue and cell in your entire body. Most other exercise programs are designed to strengthen only voluntary muscles or isolated muscle groups. Trampoline exercise strengthens your whole body inside and out, including cells in the liver, kidneys, bladder, heart and lungs. Externally your skin will smooth, tighten and you will look more youthful, diminishing lines and wrinkles; you will get a natural face lift. I know it doesn't answer the question completly, but jumping on the trampoline is great excercise. So if you jump on the trampoline alot, you are bound to lose weight.

What is the myth about the fat burning zone?

Can you lose weight by only eating breakfast every day for a month and if so how much?

You would lose weight, but mostly muscle and fluid, not fat!! Don't stop eating to lose weight, in the long run it wont work, as your body's metabolism slows down meaning you burn less calories a day, and will need to start eating even less to maintain your weight, no matter lose it! Instead do lots of exercise, as exercise builds muscle, and muscle burns LOTS more calories than fat, meaning you can eat MORE every day just to maintain!!

Well, ok, what was wrong with all the other answers is that u don't eat much. You shouldn't over indulge, but you should eat healthy. As teenagers, you are growing, and u need energy and food gives you that. Those diets above could make you really sick if you are not VERY careful. What u should do is be patient. Talk to your doctor and parents, agree on a healthy weight for your age, height, and gender. Then, eleminate most sweets, eat until you r satisfied, not full or stuffed. Don't eat out of emotion or bordom. Exersize 1-2 times a day. Morning and evening for an hour each. I recomend cardio, some sit ups and stuff, but that mostly builds muscle, and muscle weighs more than fat. You may want to eat between 1000 and 1300 calories a day. You will most likely hit an area where your body doesn't lose weight, be patient. These diets above will help you lose weight, but it won't be healthy, and most likely you will gain the weight right back. So follow my plan, it may take 5-6 months, but you will be healthier and will keep the weight off longer.
