Does a person diet to lose mass or to lose weight?
In theory, if you just wanted to lose weight you could go into orbit around the Earth and become weightless. In practice, that is not such an easy thing to do. Nonetheless, what we really lose by dieting is mass. Mass has a certain weight here on the surface of planet Earth, but weight does depend on location, and mass doesn't.
How long does it take to walk 300 miles?
It depends on the speed - At 2 mph it would take five days without sleep - so ten days with sleep.
I'm pretty sure it will slow down. I've experimented a little bit myself and noticed that you do start feeling fatigued and sleepy and irritably hungry if you eat below 1000 a day. Your heart beat slows itself down and such. I'd keep the calories to 1200.
Does hot yoga promote weight loss?
The main thing with hot yoga is the sweat. In a hot yoga class, a student will sweat extensively, resulting in a loss of water weight. This is not lasting weight loss as the student will have to rehydrate.
The yoga itself, if practiced regularly, promotes a healthier lifestyle. A student will usually see physical changes, and will often notice clothing fitting differently. A regular yoga practice also encourages better eating habits which can lead to weight loss.
I've been teaching yoga for 12 years, and I've seen students go through some pretty amazing physical, and mental transformations. Any type of yoga can promote weight loss, but it will ultimately depend on the student's discipline and devotion.
Will you damage your kitchen tiles if you use an exercise bike on them?

Why do you get Cramping in thighs and calves?
Dehydration, doctors say this can cause muscle spasms as the muscles get dry and tighten together. Also, not stretching can also cause the muscles to become tight together... so stretch it out as soon as it happens, put your leg out and lean forward on it, to stretch out your thigh, then drink some water or any liquids at best, like juice or soda or water, any you might want or have! :D and the final cause of leg cramps is over exercising. This can cause muscles to droop inside a bit, and hurt, but i don't know exactly how that works, but ill figure it out. I just found this out yesterday and wanted to answer peoples' questions. On this matter. Hey I'm 12 i am still learning!
Is cantaloupe a good choice for weight loss?
Cantaloupe is okay but you should eat it in moderation because there is a high sugar content to it... if you are working out enough it is fine. There are approximately 53-55 calories in a cup of cantaloupe.
It can be difficult to have the will power to lose weight, especially when you try and try and see little results. You should start with the foods you are eating:
- Get rid of white breads, white sugar, white pasta, anything overly processed. Replace with wheat, brown rice/pasta, etc... these have lower glycemic levels. Remember the more natural the food, the better.
- Cut down on starches, eat more chicken, eggs (3 whites/1 yolk), steamed vegetables and fruits. Bread should only be a small part of your meals.
- Drink a glass of grapefruit juice every morning, it is absolutely proven to help promote weight lossby lowering your glycemic index and is loaded with digestive enzymes. Grapefruit juice literally makes you feel a little warm when you first start drinking it and it gives you the energy to start your morning workout.
- Drink plenty of filtered or spring water every day. Keep a container of fresh water in your fridge, so when you go for a soda you are more likely to drink water instead.
- Drink tea, no sugar, at restaurants like Subway you should always go for tea instead of coke, unsweetened better yet. Look into green tea (promotes weight loss) and other teas at your local grocery, teas are a great replacement for sodas and coffee.
- Do not depend on weight loss pills, their effects are minimal and only temporary and do more harm to your health than any good.
- Stay away from "low fat" microwave meals, the portions are small and not healthy, your body needs decent portions but of healthy foods, instead prepare your own meals, Americans are very overweight in comparison to Europeans because we eat far more fast food. Buy a cook book so you can prepare incredibly delicious meals on your own that are healthy.
- Find a routine and stick with it. This is the hard part, a few days go by where you haven't worked out, this is where you fall from the plan and can fail. It takes motivation to stick with a workout routine. It helps to have a friend striving towards the same goals but they must be POSITIVE about changing themselves for the better. Negative people always say, "I can't do this" "It's too hard" "I am just old" etc... this is a good time to turn around and say YOU CAN DO IT! Take digestive enzymes. Take a high quality multivitamin found in organic food stores.
- If you have EVER taken a antibiotic, you should eat some Activia yogurt for a while, the antibiotics killed all of your good digestive tract bacteria and you must replenish it.
- Take fiber, fiber helps prevent fat in food from being fat in your body. Just buy a container of Benefiber, take a small amount at first and work your way up to take a full dose. After 18 the fiber you need will increase because after 18 your metabolism will slow down more.
- Take time for yourself, don't feel like exercising one day? Well, meditate! Meditation can help you lose weight, it calms the mind, relaxes stress away and makes you feel incredibly amazing without having to take in one calorie. And after meditation you'll be surprised at how much more energy you have and might be more up to exercising afterwards.

What is the record for the female strict shoulder press?
Several men have performed a standing barbell shoulder press with over 500 pounds. But as of yet, no one has ever done over 525. My guess is that human capablility will never reach a 600 pound shoulder press until great breakthroughs are made in joint and ligament support and repair. That's just too much weight for human limbs to raise overhead.......

Why do breast hurt after working out?
There could be many reasons why your chest hurts after you go to the gym. Some reasons include you may have worked out too hard and your body can't handle it. It could also mean that you have a medical condition that needs attention, or simply its asthma and you didn't realize that you had it.

If you have asthma should you run 4 miles?
Yes and No, because if the asthma is very harsh, gradual steps upward to running, like brisk walking, can help for them to run. It's good because if the asthma is very controlled, running can help the person get used to it so inflammation of the airways happens less often because running has become routine. Just bring your inhaler for safety precautions.
