Why are some women flat-chested?

Yes i know it can be very frustrating to be flat chested. Are you a white girl? There aren't many things you can do other than surgery and padding. Depending on your age depends on your decision. If you are over the age of 25 then surgery is an option, though, i wouldn't recommend it. Then there is stuffing, which i also wouldn't recommend. But if you look at body builders, look at their chests! The men have pecs!! So if your serious about really being flat chested, then you could try bench pressing..? I mean its just a theory but if you want to try it out it might work! Good luck to ya! Its your genes and your genetic code if you are white as Asians and whites have smaller boobs ( average A max B) compared to Latina Brazilians and middle eastern.

What is a typical salary for an exercise physiologist?

they typically start anywhere from $15-$17 per hour depending on location and job requirements. most positions either require a master's degree or an RN. this is misleading to most people in the major because they are told that "Cardiac Rehab" jobs are on the rise. This is only true in some areas. plus, employers almost always require ACLS and ACSM certifications, as well. Take the easy route and just get an RN degree...they pay much better, the job demand is fantastic, and you can do anything with it!

How man laps around a regulation running track is equal to 5 k?

If you are in lane 1, then you must run 12 1/2 laps to equal 5k. The explanation for this is that a normal running track is 400 meters, therefore 12 1/2 laps would equal 5000 meters; i.e. 5K meters.

Is this a Hamstring Injury I feel pain in the middle of my hamstring and it goes down to my knee. Is this a hamstring injury or another injury Also what can I do to speed up the healing process?

Sounds like a hamstring injury. If so, the keys are getting the swelling down, immobilizing while itt heals, working range of motion during the healing process, and some physical therapy to rehab it. Ice-packs on the effected area -- 10 minutes on and 10 off, repeat for a couple of hours. Be careful not to freeze the skin -- wrap the pack in a towel if you have to. Aspirin or ibuprofin are good to ease the pain and control the swelling. DOn't start using it before it heals. Stay off it for a while. Get with a therapist and discuss range of motion excercises. The biggest mistake patients with this kind of injury run into is re-injuring it by using it hard before it's healed. See link below:

How many calories does a quarter mile run burn?

At a sedate 20 minute mile pace, running a quarter mile will burn 30 calories for a 160 pound person. This number will go up as the pace quickens.
Not really enough to matter in any way. The estimated usage for one mile is about 100 calories, so 400 meters would be about 25 calories. That's something like 1/20 of a cupcake.

What injury does t'ai chi yoga and Alexander technique help relieve?

All these techniques can help decrease stress and pain. Of the three Tai Chi has the most direct medical applications; although it' healing effects vary depending on how severe the injury is, as those take much more skill and perseverance to repair.

Tai Chi master Bruce Frantzis had a very good anecdote to illustrate in the beginning of his book "Opening the Energy Gates of Your Body."

The Cultural Revolution caused three things to occur in China

  1. The population skyrocketed (To quote Mao "The Strength of a country is in its population" thus on his orders they had as many children as possible.
  2. Most of the professional class (including doctors) fled the country or were killed.
  3. China was very poor (largely as a consequence of World War 2).

This led to extreme shortages of medical care which threatened revolution. To prevent this, the communist party came up with a novel solution. They recruited the heads of various Tai Chi lineages, and forced them to divulge their secrets so that an effective (but easy enough to learn) National Tai Chi form could be developed, and then did everything they could to train as many instructors as possible and distribute them throughout the country.

The communist government was well aware of Tai Chi's healing powers (specifically that if someone practiced it enough most health problems would go aware). Thus they made a mandate on their extremely limited medical care. In order to be treated for a non life threatening emergency, one first had to study under a certified Tai Chi instructor and have their practicing be initialed by them. If after 3 months of certified daily practice the ailment had not gone away, the sick individual was granted access to medical care (as all medical care in the country came through the government this was the only way to obtain it). As Tai Chi was so effective in healing a multitude of medical conditions, most of the cases fixed themselves and never required a medical intervention, thus reducing the burden enough on China's medical system for it to be able to survive.

The three things I am the most familiar with Tai Chi being able to cure are arthritis, chronic stress and lower back injuries. In all three of these, the exact efficacy of Tai Chi is largely dependent on how much the patient is willing to practice (Bruce has stated that Arthritis tends to get the best results in clinical trials since the pain from arthritis that Tai Chi relieves is enough to motivate people to practice enough to fix the condition, whereas with many other diseases the test subjects just won't bother to practice).

There is a much larger range of applications (many dealing with the spine) that are detailed in the book Tai Chi: Health for Life. As a general rule though, anything resulting from a physical malfunction in the body or the damage and deterioration of a specific place can be repaired with Tai Chi...Which is one of the main reasons elderly in China are able to maintain a complete range of mobility, functionality and vibrancy into their latter years.

I want to lose as close to 10 pounds as possible in 2 weeks im going to run 20 minutes 3 times a week what else should i do please help?

Losing over 2 pounds a week is simply unhealthy for your body. In the long-term, it won't pay off to lose that much that quickly because you will probably gain the weight back.

That being said, these are a few tips to losing weight:

-Write down ALL the food you eat every day and count how many calories. Use this website to find out how many calories you should eat in a day, how many you are burning, and how many calories there are in your food:

-Measure ALL your portions. So for example, if you're having a bowl of cereal, use a measuring cup to measure how much cereal and milk you're eating. This will make your calorie counting accurate.

-Don't eat after 7pm or 8pm. This is the most useful trick to me. After about a week, I stopped being hungry after 7 and avoided having any late-night cravings. I've been doing this since August and I've lost tons of weight.

-Eat a big, healthy breakfast.

-Drink lots of water to reduce hunger (about 8 cups of water).

-Drink green tea (about 2-5 cups). It speeds up your metabolism.

-Avoid situations where you might start eating mindlessly. If you ever have a craving, distract yourself with another activity, such as going for a walk, doing work, reading. You will find that the cravings simply disappear.

-Weigh yourself everyday. This will keep you motivated!

Good luck losing weight =) I hope this advice helps

Why the color of a weight lifting Crane is yellow?

I think you'll find that actually, not all cranes are yellow. Other popular colours for cranes include red and white.
However, construction vehicles such as rollers, bulldozers and cranes are often yellow as it is the most visible colour. This is important, as these machines can be very dangerous, and it is best that nearby people are aware of them.

If you are a 149 pound 13-year-old and have a little belly fat how many push ups and sit ups should you do per day?

It's not about push-ups and sit-ups. It is a about getting regular cardio exercise. Just do things you enjoy that are also good exercise such as jogging, swimming, playing sports like basketball and football with friends, hiking, taking a brisk walk, etc. The next step is what you eat. Just avoid dangerous weight loss plans and focus on getting healthy, not the number on the scale. Make it a fun project, and treat it like a marathon... not a sprint.

How do you become a stronger runner?

The best way to become a stronger runner is to NOT use weights ankle weights! instead try these and practise them 3-5 times a week for about 10 mins: - running suicides (running from the main line to another, than back and to a farther line) - stairs (running up and down stairs) I know it may sound strange but it helps for jumping action and running action - start by sprints (this helps the legs become more powerful when in running faster) DRINK MILK FOR STRONGER AND HEALTHER BONES!!!
