How do you lose just 2 inches from your hips?
ONLY WAY IS WITH A SINGLE-PIECE "SWEAT-BELT"
They come in different sizes, but get one at least 12-14" high, lest it 'roll' down from the top and the effect is lost. It works while it's on, but you don't lose any weight, and the inches are still there when you take it off. Use baby-powder to help put it in place.
But if you want to take the weight off in a hurry and not jeopardize your health, try this, below. It works quite well. I lost 35 lb in 3 mo.

TO LOSE WEIGHT QUICKLY, WHILE STAYING HEALTHY, and FEELIN' GOOD
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eat a cup of lofat yogurt - any kind - for breakfast, a 12oz lunch of lowish-fat protein: grilled chix or a healthy burger, and (most importantly) only veggies for dinner. I settled on saute'd string beans (recipe below) because they are filling taste great and very light on calories. Also, a couple of low-fat muffins are OK during the day. Eat less than 50g of sugar -that's tough - and a have a good 30-45 min of exercise, with walking and simple muscle exercises... push-ups, dips, pull-ups, half-squats and the like. Weigh yourself every day (at the same time).
Also take one child's aspirin (81mg) everyday, an omega-3 fish-oil pill; if you are or ever been a runner or otherwise athletic, take 1-2g of glucosamine, a vit-D tab if you don't get much sun, and a multiple vitamin like One-a-Day. I've gone steadily down in 3 months from 280 lb. or so to 245 lb. today and never felt better.
-----------------------------------------
Recipe for delicious and healthful string beans: Take one small plastic bag of beans, ends already nipped, designed for 4-5 min nuke-in-the-bag. Nuke'em, then put 'em in a teflon pan with a tsp of butter and half a dozen or so Hormel turkey pepperoni slices and saute on LOW heat for up for about 5 min., or when they're your degree of tender. Serve on a warmed plate.
You'll feel hungry a lot, but those pounds will melt away.

Does running make you thick or actually slim?
Aerobic exercise like running is going to cause you to increase the number of calories you burn, which will cause you to lose weight. At the same time, you'll probably also gain some muscle mass around your calves- both very good things.

What happens to the ECG when your heart speeds up?

dont eat !!!!!!!!
and excersize daily :D
NOOOO you NEVER should not eat, it will not help you at all!!! it will make you MUCH less healthy than the condition you are already in! if you want to SAFELY lose weight in a HEALTHY way, then you should excercise daily (not too little because nothing much will happen and not too much because that will become dangerous for you) and have a healthy diet. A healthy diet does NOT mean that you skip meals and it does NOT mean that you have a gazillion meals or even 3 humongous ones. You must eat 3 times a day but make sure your diet includes lots of veggies and some fruits (not too much of those either--they have some sugar, believe it or not). Also drink PLENTY of water. Often your body confuses thirst with hunger and when you really have eaten enough already, sometimes you feel you need more because you are thirsty. If you drink a ton of water and try to have a fruit at the end of your meal then you will feel very satisfied.
It shouldn't be painful to lose weight. If it is, that's a bad sign. Now, don't confuse pain with exertion--it takes a work ethic to get slim, but don't hurt yourself doing it!
How much do you have to weight to be a size 2 if you are 5'4?
I'm 5'4 and 125 lbs wearing a size 3 or 4 with a slight muscular build. I'm guessing anywhere under 120 or 115 depending on your build.
How many crunches do you have to do a day to lose 20 pounds?
Crunches won't make you lose belly fat. Crunches work the abdominal muscles and therefore help develop (grow) the abs. Furthermore there is no thing as spot removal (removing only belly fat) you can remove body fat and eventually fat will come off your belly. To remove fat you must reduce your caloric intake and do cardiovascular exercise
Why do you have boils on your inner thighs?
This is usually caused by friction as your legs rub together. Try applying neosporin to it, to prevent infection, and use cornstarch to stop the constant friction of it.
Does swimming help to burn fat?
All exercises can contribute to losing overall body fat. Swimming is an excellent exercise. It is low impact so doesn't over stress joints. It has a pretty low level of possible injury. It can be highly aerobic (if you design your swim that way), which is the primary key to losing weight through exercise. It does not, however, specifically target belly fat.
What should the weight of a child age 12 be?
Each 12 year old will be a different weight. It depends on height, muscle, your bmi - percentage of body fat...
There really isn't an 'ideal' weight for all 12 year olds, weight is an individual thing.
Hope this helps :)
How might regular cardiorespiratory exercise affect hypertension?
Exercise is most likely going to increase systolic blood pressure. This is to increase the amount of oxygen getting to your muscles as muscles need oxygen to function. This is also the reason why you need to breathe a lot more during exercise.

TOP 5 Reasons More Women Are Using Green Smoothies To Lose Weight, Boost Energy, And Look Years Younger:
Green Smoothies for Weight Loss:
A major benefit of Green Smoothies is weight loss. Keep in mind, not all smoothies are created equal however. Some are very healthy while others, not so much. A proper green smoothie for weight loss includes lots of leafy greens and other vegetables, whole fruits such as a banana or apple, and water. Avoid adding dairy, such as milk or yogurt, as these add unnecessary fats and calories, and can irritate your digestive system.
One major weight loss guideline is to increase your intake of vegetables, healthy fiber and fruits. Green smoothies offer a quick and convenient method for this AND they are super quick and easy to make. Just throw everything in a blender for a few seconds, pour it in a travel cup and you are ready to go. The fiber helps you feel full, reducing the urge for unhealthy snacks between meals.

Click here for some helpful guidelines and recipes for boosters to turn your green smoothie into a healthy meal replacement option that will help you shed those extra pounds.
Detox Your Body
The fruits and vegetables alkalinize your system, cleansing toxins from your organs and blood. As your body releases toxins, you not only feel better, but you’re your organs run at optimum level. Your body processes and digests more effectively. You absorb nutrients better, helping you feel more satisfied and reduce cravings.
Feel More Energized!
Adding the right nutrients into your body while releasing toxins will give you a serious energy booth. You feel better. More energy also boosts your metabolism so you burn more calories. With all the responsibilities you juggle every day, won’t it be great to have the energy to manage it all and still have some left over for fun? You can play with the kids, have some fun with your spouse, or add in some quality time for yourself.
Boost Your Self Confidence
What? How is a smoothie going to do that? Well, first, you are making a conscious choice to do something good for you. It is a decision you can feel good about. Instead of grabbing something quick that you know is bad for you and is going to make you feel icky, you can make a quick smoothy and drink it on the go, knowing you are nourishing yourself by putting healthy food into your body.

Antioxidants are natures magic pill for bringing out your natural beauty. Fresh fruits and vegetables are a powerhouse of nutrients and antioxidants. This, combined with the detoxification benefits of green smoothies leads to clear, glowing skin, stronger nails and lustrous, healthy hair. They help reduce or eliminate eczema and other skin conditions.
Anti-Aging:
You not only get clearer skin, but the nutrients in green smoothies also help boost production of collagen, creating firmer, younger looking skin. Apples, strawberries and Oranges are great choices to add to your smoothie for this. Do you ever buy those super expensive anti-aging lotions with CoQ10? Try a green smoothie instead!

Which muscle is primary target in pull up?
Chin-ups, just as most exercises use a primary & secondary muscle group. The primary muscle group would be the back (or latissimus dorsi). This is what helps to give that "V" - shape in the torso area. (along with slimming down the torso area, of course) The secondary muscle group would be the biceps. Depending on your grip position, you can focus either more on your "lats", or arms.

anything under 60 bpm is slow... and 32 is very slow.....it ould an overdose of a rate slowing drug or it could be an arrhythmia, in either case it's worth going at least to a doctor if not a hospital.
How many calories do you burn in 100 sit ups?
The number of calories that you burn doing sit ups depends on how fast you do them. Your weight also determines the amount of calories burned due to the amount that you have to lift. if you weigh 150 pounds and do 100 sit ups in 10 minutes, you will burn approximately 57 calories.
Are there any ways you can make yourself taller?
You should have a lot of foods with calcium in them. It makes your bones grow stronger and could help make them grow taller. So, drink a lot of milk and eat cheese. Yes, you can fake it by using iether lifts (inserts in ones shoes) or you can actually have surgery. I believe only countries outside the US will preform the surgery. It consists of the doctor breaking both of your legs (in the shin area) and placing braces on them while they heal. The broken area is gradually pulled 2-3 inches apart as the bone grows back together. I think this procedure takes about 6 months to complete. If you only need 2 or 3 inches added on it may be worth it.
Not techinicallly, it builds muscle which helps to burn more calories.
How many people don't get enough exercise?
more than 50 percent of American adults do not get enough physical strength to provide health benefits. twenty- five percent are not active at all in their leisure time.

yes, but you'll have to realistic about how much you can lose in a short space of time. Sensible eating and exercise is the best way to lose weight and keep it off. If you starve yourself for 2 months you could make yourself ill and you're more likely to put it all (and more) back on again!
What is a quick and easy way to lose weight?
- Some people think that the quick and easy way to lose weight is a crash diet. The weight lost, however, quickly returns. Once we get over the fact that there is no overnight fix, and apply will power, and follow corrective eating habits for weight loss, such as the Protein Power Plan, or The Paleolithic Diet, or the South Beach Diet, or even Weight Watchers, the easier it becomes. Our bodies need the right nutrients to be healthy so it's a matter of the types of food we eat (not just quantities).
- Everyone says it, but it is true, exercise and eating correctly is the answer. Cut out ice cream and chocolate and all other refined processed carbohydrates (apart from the rare treat). Eat more low carbohydrate vegetables and fruit, eat whole wheat not white bread. (However, bread or grains of any kind can make many people gain weight.) Switch from regular soda/pop to diet or Coke Zero.
- Try 10-20 crunches or sit ups a day, do about 10-20 jumping jacks, 10 push ups, and run or cardio walk daily or every other day.
- Play a cardio sport or join a gym. If you have Dance Dance Revolution play it as often as you can if you don't choose to exercise the other ways. You could also ride a bike, skateboard, Rollerblade, or hike. One last tip, on every break from work, school, or whatever, get exercise.
- More tips: Brush your teeth every time you are tempted by snacking or eating. Drink glass of water every time you feel hungry. Burn an extra 500 calories a day. Learn some isometric exercises like squats, push ups and lunges. Make sure to eat good variety of healthy vegetables and some fruits. Do regular cardiovascular exercise. Diet pills can be dangerous and they either don't work or if they do work the weight piles back on, and usually more than you lost, as soon as you stop taking them.
