Exercise

A leg extension exercise tests how well someone is able to work against the resistance of the leg extension machine. In the process it works four muscles in the trainer's upper thighs that are called quadriceps. The muscles that make up the quadriceps are called: Rectus Femoris, Vastus Intermedius, Vastus Lateralis and finally, Vastus Medialis. This machine is great for anyone that wants to train for any type of race or just training to be better fit.

Trying to lose more weight than is healthy for your body type results in muscle loss, severe medical problems, and could possibly lead to death! Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia are not the answer!

When you eat fatty food and don't do exersize in the next 2 hours your body stores up the food and leaves it in your stomach. Causing it to stick out. If your stomach sticks out you are most likely to have put on weight. For example: The other day I put on my bikini and I looked fine and then a couple of days later I put it on again and my stomach was sticking out. So I weighed myself and found out that I had put on 2 kilograms.

What I did was to quit drinking pop/soda and I did a lot of exercise. I noticed when I quit doing those things I gained some of the weight back. So you have to continue to exercise, otherwise you won't get anywhere. For more in-depth information, see the related question, further down this page, listed under "Related Questions."
