How much exercise to lose 1kg in a day?
One pound of fat contains 3500 calories. This is the deficit between calorie intake and calorie burn you eould have to make in one day to lose one pound. It is much safer to exercise and limit calorie intake to 1200 per day in order to loose roughly 2lbs per week. It is also more likely for the weight to stay off this way,
How do pedometers help with weight loss?
Pedometers practically show you how active you are. They show you the amount of steps you get per day. You should get around 12000 per day. You clip them over the knee on your pants or your pocket and wear them the whole day. By wearing them you can make goals and life a healthier life.
Most authorities recommend that you lose weight at no more than 2lbs per week. Therefore in 3 months (13 weeks) you could safely lose 26lbs (1 stone 12lbs). So you can very nearly achieve your goal without compromising your health.
Is it possible to lose 100 pounds in 12 months?
There is no healthy way to lose that much weight in that short of time. You should consider working with a personal trainer to establish realistic goals.
YES, it is possible for a 250 lbs girl to lose 100 in 8 months. However, that requires losing nearly 5 lbs per week for the entire time. That type of weight loss is VERY difficult to sustain. Generally, it's not safe to lose weight that quickly. A more realistic and safe rate is 1 to 3 lbs per week. In the initial stages of weight loss (through dieting) rapid weight loss of 4 - 6 lbs per week can sometimes be seen but this usually only last for the first week or 2. After that, the body's metabolism overrides that weight loss rate and slows the weight loss. Our bodies are designed to try to preserve our lives as all costs; therefore, the body has various systems and reactions that work to PREVENT starvation. If you try to lose 5 lbs/week, your body systems will see that as starvation and will attempt to slow the process "to preserve life". Also, your metabolism has a set point similar to one you might find on a thermostat controlling the heat in your house. Your body's set point sets the weight that your metabolism tries to maintain. If you lose weight too quickly, your body cannot adjust it's metabolic set point fast enough to keep up with the weight loss. What happens then is that if/when you deviate from your weight loss plan, you will quickly gain all your weight back. Often people gain even MORE weight back than what they had initially lost. Perhaps, that too is one of the body's protections against starvation. The BEST plan to lose weight is simply to eat less, exercise more and take it slowly. Losing 1 - 2 (at the most about 3) lbs per week, is considered safe. Talk to your doctor or a certified nutritionist for proper guidance in your individual case.
What is the best exercise for osteoporosis?
Weight training is the best exercise to prevent osteoporosis
Is an 11 year-old called overweight if the weight is more than 40 kilos?
yes, 40kg (90 lbs) seems high for a 9-year-old, unless he is unusually tall. An average height for a 9 year old boy would probably be around 4'5", the ideal weight for which height is 74-99 lbs. 40kg is about 89lbs, which is within the healthy range. However, an inactive child who looks overweight (which appearance I presume prompted the question)is probably unhealthy and action should be taken to correct the issue during the key developmental stages of prepubescence, regardless of what the numbers say.
Obviously, you can exercise. However, if you don't want to do that, drink 8 full glasses of water every day and always drink a full glass right before you eat. Also, look for foods like celery (plain, no dressing) where you burn more calories eating them than they contain.
How do you lose ten pounds in one month?
The best way to lose ten pounds in one month is to sweat. Sweating can make you lose a very large amount of water weight very quickly.

You should start exercising. You could get fattter everyday. After you eat don't go to sleep or you will gain weight because you didn't digest your food. Your body goes into sleep mode so you won't burn the fat.

allows your ribs to move up and down when you breath
the intercostal muscles contract.these pull the ribcage upwards.so the chest increases in volume when we breath out the intercostal muscles relax which lowers the ribcage.the chest decreases in volume see the diagram below for help
The intercostal muscles are located between the ribs and they lift the diaphragm allowing oxygen to flow in and out of the lungs. Basically, they aid in breathing.
How long will it take you to get a bigger butt if you do 1000 squats a day?
This depends on your sex and your physiology. Men tend to bulk-up when they exercise, but women tend to tone down. It is possible that 1000 squats might just tone muscle and make your butt look smaller if you are a woman. Even if it is your nature ot bulk up when you exercise, results could take many months to show.
Can you get complete protein in a powder supplement?
Many supplements contain amino acids, which are the constituent building blocks of proteins. When you ingest protein, it is broken down into its amino acid subgroups. The amino acids are used to build muscle and other important tissue. So while you can't "get protein" from supplements, you can get amino acids, which is what your body is after anyways.
How can you get rid of fat ankles when you are really skinny otherwise?
Quite honestly, barring all other answers here, your first action should be to go directly to the doctor. A general practitioner, family doctor or pediatrician (depending on your age), is suggested. There is a cornucopia of illnesses that directly cause swollen ankles. If I were you, I would rule out the possibilities of a serious illness before you worry about the cosmetic appearance of your ankles.
sometimes being skinny doesnt mean you are in shape. you can definently slim down your ankles with three months of consistent effort. start with calf raises on a step, and daily sprint training. "suicides"are a simple sprint traing method that will tone your ankles, quads and butt with a quickness. buy a jump rope and jump till you cant jump no more at least four times a week. carido is key. i know you say you are skinny and im sure you are thin but you can still burn fat and gain muscle. remember being skinny isn't being in shape. when you get done running your fist half marathon I'll bet ya' your ankles will be thin and sculpted. good luck!
Accept them.There is absolutely nothing you can do for fat ankles.They are there for life.I have them and it totally sucks, often I feel like a mutant.And ballet shoes are in this year.But so are wedges.Anyway try to focus on the positive, thin waist, cut arms.Most girls these days have fat guts-those are harder to hide.
i never had "fat ankles" until i got in my late teens, i guess its hereditory as my mum has them too. its more so excess fat around the bottom half of the calf/shin bone starting at the ankle bones but i HATE it. lately i have started walking slightly different (by putting pressure on the outsides of my feet instead of using the whole sole of my foot ) and i have started to notice the outside lower front bits of my shins begining to tone down...thank god! when on an exercise bike only have your toes on the pedals as this will get ur ankles moving more and help a little as well.
You could have edema (water retention).
If you walk 6hr a week how many pounds can you lose?
It is possible to lose about two pounds or more a week by walking for one hour a day. Losing weight also depends on the types of foods that are eaten and what a person does when they are not out walking. A ten to fifteen pound loss is about average for this type of exercise.
Are there any exercises that can help get rid of the fat around the knees?
You can tone and stregnthen your knees by doing a little exersise from a chair. Start in the bend position (normal sitting position), then raise your feet so they are level with your hips, but no further up than your hips. Hold for 5 seconds and bring them down again. Repeat that about 20 times. You can point your toes for added benefit. It will help your knees, it will stregnthen your legs and help to burn the extra fat. You can't lose fat in one particular area only, though (it is called 'spot reducing' and it isn't possible). You must eat right and exersise other parts of your body so there is balance. Good luck!
How can you lose 40 pounds in 6 weeks without exercising?
Some diet pills will take a few pounds off steadily, but keeping off the weight and being health requires exercise. More people today want instant gratification. You have to realize that you gained weight slowely by eating wrong or not exercising. Losing weight will require the opposite. There is no easy magic way to take off the weight and keep it off. Exercise and eat fewer calories than you burn.
How much should you work out to lose 50 pounds in a month?
Even under the best of circumstances, with the help of doctors, dieticians, personal trainers etc it'd be really hard to lose 50 lbs in a month. That's more than 1.5 lb/day, and many would be very happy to lose that in a week.
If you were to try to do it through exercise alone - assuming your diet is otherwise spot on - you'd have to work off something like 6000 calories a day, that's about trebling a normal daily usage.
It'd mean spending 10-12 hours a day, constantly on what would normally be considered mid/high intensity workout.
It's the kind of calorie usage a soldier might see, marching with full kit, the whole day.
What are ways you can reduce the size of your butt as a male?
Spot reducing is a myth. If you want to lose your "big butt," try losing weight all over through a moderate diet and exercise. Or perhaps you could give it to one of all the other girls who want a big butt.
What can you do to increase the amount of time before your muscles fatigue?
The only way to increase the amount of time before your muscles fatigue is to slowly increase the amount of time you workout. You should also increase your fluid intake during your exercise routine.
