How do you starve yourself if you want to lose about 22 pounds really fast?

You don't - this is a very unhealthy way to think and try and lose weight not to mention very dangerous. Chew sugarless gum. Ring a friend, etc. - do something that makes you stop thinking about food. No junk food. It takes some will power, and people will say that it's unhealthy, but, here goes. Drink fluids instead of eating food. That can be anything you can drink, Cokes and Pepsis included, they have syrup to keep you up; except they do have a lot of sugar. But, it still goes through you faster than food, and that's what you want. You want nothing to stick to you! Do it with water, any juice you like a lot, like cranberry, orange juice, apple. If you have to sink your teeth into something, eat fruit, worst case a salad. Also, throw three different kinds of fruit in a blender with a banana and you have a great shake, or malt, or smoothie or whatever you want to call it. If you have the budget, buy a real smoothie. The side effect is you may feel slightly spaced or light headed once in a while. If you can look past that, you're losing weight, and quickly too!!!

Three ways you can apply the overload principle are?

The overload prinicple states that for a muscle to adapt and become stronger/bigger, it must be stressed to a level above and beyond it's normal level of stress. This is still somewhat vague, because this principle can be applied to muscular power, strength, and endurance in different ways. In order to reach "Overload", you must stress a muscle to the point of failure (not injury, just to the point where you cannot complete the repetition). If training for endurance, you would use a much lighter weight/resistance (somewhere in the 50-60% 1RM area), at a much higher level of repetitions. Your rest period would also be somewhat shorter, 30sec-1min. Training for strength, you would steadily pyramid your weight up, and your reps down, from 65-85%1RM, with anywhere from 2-3min rest between sets. (Pincivero et al., 1997). Power lifting: power is achieved when you do the maximum amount of work in the shortest amount of time. Current research still debates this, but if you were to do 5+ sets of 3-5 reps at 75-95%1RM, with as little rest as possible between reps, and 1-2min rest between sets, the gretest gains in power would be achieved.

If 491 people walked 4 tenths of a mile per day how long would it take to walk the distance around the earth?

it would take them 9960.62 days to walk around the equator. assuming that the 491 people walk together, (the quantity of people doesn't change the amount of days)

if each of the 491 people walked 4/10 Mile each, they would only walk 196.4 Miles

if each of the 491 people walked an equal share of the distance, they would have to walk 50.71 Miles each.

the circumference of the earth at the equator is 24,901.55 Miles

all these figures assume that the people walk around the equator & can walk on water.

What are shin splints?

Shin spliints are actually microfractures of the tibia. Extremely painful but not dangerous. They are best treated by avoidence of the causative injury. They are usually caused by running, usually aggressive, as in soccer, football, track and field, jogging, marching, etc. Like any other fracture they can take 6 to 8 weeks to resolve but usually resolve in two to three weeks. They are not visible on x-ray or even MRI, and they are usually diagnosed just by history and physical examination. If definitive diagnosis is really needed, a test callled a "triple phase bone scan" is performed.

Any of various painful conditions of the shins caused by inflammation of the surrounding muscles, frequently occurring among runners.

Actually, shin splints can be caused by a number of factors. 2 of the most common forms of shin splints are I) periostitis, and II)tibialis anterior tendinitis.

I) periostitis is an irritation of the pereosteum (the tissue joining the tibia and fibula) caused by repetitive pounding of the feet. This is often seen in runners who run on uneven surfaces (grass, forest trails, etc.). Periostitis, if unresolved, can lead to what the above poster mentioned: stress fractures. these can become very serious, and take quite some time to heal.

II) tibialis anterior tendinitis is an inflammation of the tendon of the main dorsiflexor of the foot (lifting the toes and pointing the foot upwards). this is often caused by repetitive forced dorsiflexion, as seen in persistent uphill running. This is fairly non-serious, unless the tendon completely ruptures which is very rarely the case.

I am 20 5'7 and 197 pounds I can run about a 25 minute 5 km Does my weight have a huge factor in my running I lift weight hard 6 days a week and run about 4 to 5. Does liftin weights make me gain?

Your ideal weight should be between 140 and 150 lbs, and depends on if you are male or female, and how large your frame is. The only likely factor that your weight will have in your running would be knee and lower back problems. If you are lifting, it means you're building muscle, which is burning more calories. So, if you do the combination of lifting and running, you will burn more and more calories and lose fat weight ever faster. Muscle does weigh more than fat, so if you build enough muscle mass, you will gain weight. However, you won't notice the gain until you have very little fat left on your body. It will just seem like you are losing weight more slowly, although that does not mean you are losing fat more slowly.

You have to burn about 3500 calories to lose one pound of fat. If you have more muscle in your body, you will burn 3500 calories faster than if you had less muscle.

If you are lifting hard 6 days a week, be careful not to work the same muscle group two days in a row. Your body needs time to recover and rebuild the muscle fiber.

How can you lose leg fat in 20 days?

This is a very good question. Now please remember it is not recommended to lose more than 10lbs per week, so you're goal is pretty decent.

To lose weight you must first gain weight (Muscle weights more than fat)

Now, on a better note.

Here are some things you can do to eliminate fat from your body, fast.

Stop smoking

Stop drinking alcohol

Stop drinking ANY soda's and just drink milk, water or tea

Those above will show a DRASTIC change in weight within one month.

If you're just focusing on your legs try doing some work outs where all you use it your legs. Try spreading them apart and with some resistance (A ball, some springs or a device for this) squeeze them tight together and hold it.

Walk, don't run. 1 mile a day.

Eat 1 bowl of whole grain cereal a day.

Drink slim-fast, It works.

Hope you got something from this.

Can you lose fat from weight training and build muscle at the same time i.e lose your gut?

Yes, in fact many bodybuilders tend to build up fat before an attempt of getting bigger muscles, seeing as the fat converts very easily into muscles.

If you purchase a chemical at your local health center called Glutamine, or any product containing amino acids you can run miles and burn tons of fat without burning any muscle whereas running would burn an intense amount of muscles as well as fat.

This makes glutamine / amino one of the most preferred substances of bodybuilders world wide. Turn fat into muscle - burn it- don't lose a pound of meat.

Could i maintain weight if i eat junk on the weekends but healthy on the weekdays i weight 110 15 and i wrestle on the weekdays?

Yes. Its OK to eat junk once in a while and its good to eat healthy foods. But think about your body and how much you need to keep it healthy.Exercising and eating right can help you. But then again if you keep making this process go for years you may become a little over weight. I suggest you eat junk food only once a month not every weekend cause you can make yourself overweight.

How does exercise affect the inspiratory area?

If blood flows through the lungs twice as fast as rest, it picks up twice as much oxygen per minute because as cardiac output rises, the rate of blood flow through the lungs also increases. Furthermore, the rate at which O2 diffuses from alveolar air into the blood increases during maximal exercise because blood flows through a larger percentage of the pulmonary capillaries, providing a greater surface area for diffusion of O2 into the blood. Also, when exercise is strenuous and demanding the breathing rate will increase. At the end of an exercise session, an abrupt decrease in ventilation rate is followed by a more gradual decline to the resting level.
