Exercise

Starving yourself is never a healthy option for weight loss. If you're desiring to starve yourself- why? Unless you have some diagnosed thyroid problem or injury, any normal person can reach a healthy weight through diet and exercise alone. You may very well have an eating disorder, see a psychiatrist for assistance.

kerin kormic pretty much own most of the aerobic industry these days but im not sure who has invented the sport x

How do fat metabolizers work?

They claim to be something to do with "thermogenic" effect.

But in my experience they didnt do much if anything at all. I took Lipo60 for about 6 weeks and lost about 3kg, but that was because I was also doing about 1hr 5 days a week of cardio and controlling my calorie intake. Eating bran cereal for Breakfast, about 3-4 apples for lunch, a nibble of a few peanuts/soynuts/wasabi peas, and a dinner that was half the normal size (portion control).

Donuts and Butter, but be wary, more than your anus will gain weight, flat bums are sexy anyway

A woman that weighs 138 pounds could burn anywhere from 50 to 100 calories while walking for 20 minutes. It really depends on how fast the woman was walking.

If you haven't got any medical conditions that limits your ability/capacity to walk in the 1st place, then no. But it will be hugely boring.

It's true. Muscles can only contract and as such pull against something. Depending on what you're doing the "something" that a muscle pulls against is a lever that ends up pushing, but then the pushing pressure is caused when the muscle forces the lever (bone) to push outward.

But muscle can either contract or relax... that's all it can do.

Your muscles are probably out of shape. When you go up hill, the calve muscles tend to flex a little more than just regular walking, you need to stretch and strengthen the muscles.

Curls and bench presses are weight training moves. Curls use free weights and bench press involves a weight bar with weights on it and a bench to lie down on.

It all depends on your genetics and the rest of your diet. Numerous studies have shown that most supplements (even protein supplements) have a relatively small impact on the body's ability to build muscle mass. Some trainers say you need to eat and eat, then cut later. Others say you need to live in a caloric deficit of your body will never step up to demand. Yet others say you shouldn't even ingest meat-based protein (including fish) because of the fat content.

The science is out there, but trainers aren't in the business of saving you money, their in the marketing business. The only people who build and maintain huge muscles are the ones who work hard at it and never give up. Even steroids won't do much if you're a couch potato. Instead, the truth is that every body is different, and that a supplement which helps some people won't do much for others.

You're a semi-hard-gainer and want to build muscle mass. There is good news and bad news. The bad news is that a person who has a hard time putting on muscle will always have a harder time doing so than someone whose genetics makes muscle-building easier, so there's not going to be a magic wand or pill. The good news is that even hard-gainers can overcome their genetics with a good, balanced diet and a lot of hard work and dedication.

Unfortunately, you can't just take a pill and make that hard-gainer genetics go away. Whether mass-gainer or whey protein will work for you depends on your present fitness, genetics, the rest of your diet, and how you exercise.

As a 5' 3" 40-year-old who weighs 190 pounds, you may be insulin resistant. Many overweight people (particularly those who have frequently 'dieted' and lost weight only to regain it later) have insulin resistance. The majority of people who have insulin resistance are unaware of it. If you feel that this may be your situation, a low calorie diet will not work for you. The best diet will be a low carbohydrate diet. Moreover, if your physician approves it first, the best low carbohydrate diet for a significantly overweight person is usually one that will put you in a state of benign dietary ketosis. Recent excellent books on the subject are Protein Power, and The Protein Power Lifeplan, by Michael R. Eades, M.D., and Mary Dan Eades, M.D., and The X Factor Diet by Leslie Kenton. (If you wish to read those books but do not want to buy them, you can borrow copies from your local library, or buy inexpensive used copies on eBay.) In my professional experience, most overweight people (and many normal weight people) are carbohydrate addicted. In fact, about 3 out of 4 British and North American adults are carbohydrate addicted. Unfortunately, the average daily carbohydrate intake of British and North American adults is about 300 grams. Even worse, most of those carbohydrates are refined (processed) carbohydrates. You will find further details relating to all the above information, in the two related questions, further down this page, listed under "Related Questions." The above suggestions, and the related page links, will help you to naturally speed up your metabolism. Naturally increasing metabolism AND maintaining it long term will enable you to lose weight and avoid future weight gain. If you do decide to use this approach, buy or borrow the above-mentioned books. They will serve you well. ----

No, it builds up the muscle in your arms, but does not allow you to actually lose weight!

NFL players may work out every single day during the regular season and in the off season they have otas or minicamp workouts maybe once or twice a week, depending on the teams.

The best way for anyone to lose weight is to eat a healthy, balanced, low carb diet and exercise. You don't want to eat only a few foods, like you wouldn't want to eat only a large number of apples and not many other foods, although they are good for you. Instead, you need to eat a variety of fruits and vegetables, protein foods, etc. Do not eat snack foods or foods that are high in processed sugar. Exercise regularly.

a road rep is a rep that likes to run on the road

A crunch differs from a sit up because unlike a sit up during abdominal crunches the lower back should not leave the floor in order to eliminate hip flexors and create an isolated exercise for the abdominals.

Auxiliary lifts would be exercises such as side bends and L-flyes that primarily work stabilizing muscles. They are important for injury prevention.

Go running at least once every day (but do take a rest every 4 days or so). Try for something above what you are supposed to do; for example, do 3 miles instead of 2.

i duno what a stupid question dweeb

No. There's no proof it helps weight loss. It's just a myth.

Anything physical burns calories, since movement requires energy and energy comes from the calories you have consumed. If you get your heart rate up and break a sweat from a half and hour to an hour you are burning a considerable amount of calories. That along with a balanced diet (eat lots of vegetables and fruit, drink a minimum of 64 Oz. of water, cut out junk food and carbonated beverages, study your nutritional intake) and you should easily lose a pound or two a week and feel healthier and more energetic.

Gymnastics is very physical and you practice on a daily basis which is important. You're exercising which burns calories and tones muscle.
