How much weight can you lose running 15 miles a week?
It all depends on tour body weight, fitness level, and heart rate. If your a fit 130 pound guy then probably no pounds at all. But if your 300 pounds then probably 6 to 9 pounds depending on if you change your diet.
Which is better squat or lunge?
A lunge and squat are both basically the same. A lunge is working both your front and back leg hamstrings a swell as your balance. A squat works your upper leg hamstring. But not your balance. But if you do the same amount of squats as lunges then you would get the same work out because you have both your legs powering you to get up, but you do twice as many lunges.

Is 4 healthy meals and an hour of exercise good to lose weight?
Well, first it depends on your meals. If you mean "healthy" as in a lot of meat, yogurt, and cereal, that is NOT healthy meal. A healthy meal (lunch) would be:
2 pieces of WHOLE WHEAT bread, with a veggieburger, lettuce, tomatoes, and onions with a glass of milk. That is a healthy mean. Also, you should NOT eat four meals a day, you should only eat three. Eating four will get your stomach and body used to that amount of food, and, after you loose weight, you will start eating crappy food for those four meals. As for the exercise, any good exercise would do well (if your doing it for one hour). The best to loose weight would be to run for one hour. If you can do a 7 minute mile, and rest for 13 minutes in between, you will be able to do three miles a day, which, with your good meals, will make you loose about .25-.75 pounds a day. Good luck!
Rubber suits are instrumental for increasing weight loss during an exercise program?
False.
Sauna suits and similar devices increase water loss during exercise but this loss is temporary, and quickly replaced.
Does stationary bike excersice reduce stomach flab?
In short, yes. Although it's worth mentioning that you can only reduce your overall body fat percentage. Unlike targeted muscle gains, you can't target fat loss. That's right - you cannot target where your body loses fat. Your body stores it how it stores it, despite all the nutty pills and machines you see that claim to target stomach fat. Doing crunches will help by tightening up the muscles that exist beneath your stomach flab, but won't get rid of it. Fat has to be burned from your entire body through diet and exercise. and of course, you can't exercise away loose skin if you have had kids or lost a lot of weight.
Please remember that while we are responsible for keeping ourselves healthy, it is only the genetically lucky and those who work really hard who get to have it all. Skinny people may be called "hangers" but they have no shape. The curvier among us tend to also have curves where they don't want them. In my opinion, the best looking people are those who manage to maintain a moderate, healthy lifestyle. It's much better to look vibrant and vital because you're in good shape, than to look thin and sick because you didn't eat and then strapped yourself to the exercise bike for two hours.
Does pen tapping stop your growth?
Um.....why would pen tapping stop your growth? its just a fun habit that really annoys teachers. the only situation in which it would stop your growth is if your teacher got really mad at you and murdered you with your own pens, but i don't think that'll happen.
Does suran wrap make your waist smaller?
If a person wraps their stomache with suran wrap, does that help burn belly fat?
Wind sprints as I understand them are athletic drills where the athlete must run as fast as he or she can between two set points, returning back and forth between those set points, until a set number or the coach or supervisor signals a stop. The one hundred eighty degree turn at the line or cone or other delineation may, at the discretion of the coach, incorporate another task such as touching a marker or executing some push ups, sport specific movements, jumps, mountain climbers, pull-ups, etc.
In sports with a court, such as basketball, lines on the court are often the set points. Athletes may be required to sprint to the half court and back and then the full court and back. In field sports, coaches who seek to develop both aerobic and anaerobic endurance in the athletes will sometimes have athletes sprint to one line, marker, and cone, then jog back, then sprint again. There may be some flexibility in the definition of the term depending on the sport or training system. You may wish to clarify further with your trainer.
Is it better walking or driving?
Both walking and driving as a means of transport have merits and drawbacks. The best method of transport of the two options depends upon the individual, and the situation that faces them.
Walking is known to be beneficial to human health, as it is a method of exercise. It can also cause people to feel happy/elated, as it triggers the release of endorphins in the brain. Walking relies on human energy, and is not particularly fast (typically 2-5km/h), so it may not be suitable for long-distance travel.
Driving relies (usually) on the use of fossil fuels and their derivatives. This means that it uses up non-renewable resources, and can cause pollution (and by extension, contribute to global warming). Motor vehicle fuel can be relatively expensive, which may make driving costly. However, driving allows for fast, low-effort transportation, and is often essential for long-distance travel.
So, the best method of transport out of walking or driving depends on the situation an individual is in.
If you drove 2.2 miles how long of a walk will it be?
Average walking pace is about 3 miles per hour, or in other words a mile every 20 minutes.
2.2 miles would therefore take 44 minutes (2.2 x 20).
It doesn't matter if you drove 2.2 miles, flew 2.2 miles or skateboarded 2.2 miles. It's still the same distance!
What is the best workout regimen for me?
I'm 40 years old, have had difficulty keeping weight off over the years. Although I am not lazy, I am not a fitness buff. In the past two years I have had to change my diet to low carb/low sugar due to cancer and no thyroid. As I have done so, I have dropped weight but still need to lose 50 more pounds. I am looking for the best program that will tone all this loose skin as well as shape and drop the remaining weight. I know it won't happen overnight but are there any supplements I can take to help aid the process and what's the best route for me as I have back and leg issues?
Does diet or exercise make your metabolism work harder?
your metabolism can't work harder.. it's either slow or fast. you can boost you're metabolism with drugs. certain foods can also help in this process but the best way to loose weight is to do what doctors have been telling us for years. healthy eating habits and exercise. It works trust me. i lost 30 bls doing that.

PS eat more celerey (however you spell it). it's a negative calorie food. meaning it takes up more calories to digest then the actual celerey contains.
excercize, especially intense cardio, makes you burn calories for a few hours after you're done. putting on muscle makes you burn more calories when you're just sitting still.
still, I've put on about 5-10 pounds of muscle, and spend about 30 m in a day doing cardio, and it's not like i can eat whatever i want and my metabolism will take care or it the biggest changes you'll see will be from the time you spend in the gym itself., and from watching what you eat. i'd avoid diet drugs, they're serious poison.
Will running a mile everyday make you faster?
well.....very slowly. I am a varsity cross country runner. I started training when i had a 7:50 mile. I ran 10 miles a week, but every month i added 10 more miles to my week. I have trained now for 1 year, and i maintain my mileage at 50 miles per week. My mile time is now 4:53. Every other day, run intervals. This means running at a normal pace for one minute, then going fast for 2 minutes, then jog 1 minute, repeat this process till you finish your mileage that day. Or you can simply run a ppm instead, which means just run fast for like 3-5 miles. You will greatly improve, but consistency is important. Run everyday. You may take one day break out of the week. on your cooldown days, run at a semi fast pace. If you run too slow, they are junk miles. to get faster, push through the pain, feel the burn. The faster you go, the less it hurts. Make sure you have good form, and hydrate atleast 3 hours before you run. If you do this, you wont get one cramp, though i do recommend running at 5 or 6 am. It is literally twice easier.
