How a 15 year old could lose weight and weighs 160?
I'm 16, and after trying just about every diet on the planet, the only one that worked was weight watchers. i weighed 160 and got down to 115 in about a year. make sure your weight doesnt stem from psychological problems, such as compulsive eating(emotional eating, often binging large amounts). if that's the case, and you are successful at losing the weight, it might all come back when you finish the diet, due to your inability to cope in ways other than overeating to compensate for racing emotions.
How much is a Contours Gym membership in Australia?
It's $195 joining fee, and then you can either pick the minimum of 12 months which is $59 a month ($14.65 p/w) or the month by month option which is I *think* $17.55 p/w. I joined today (September 06, 2008) after a three day trial, and got my joining fee reduced to $75. It's worth it, I love going :) Hope that helps
How old do you have to be to get abs.?
> You dont really have to be a certain age at all.
You already "have abs". Every human alive has abdominal muscles. The strength, condition and aestetic appearance of those abs can vary wildly though. I'm going to assume your primary concern is with the appearance of the abs, the idea of a "six pack". Any age can have a physically attractive midsection. Any age can have strong, mobile healthy abdominal muscles, too. However, just as easily, especially if you eat a standard American diet, those strong abdominal muscles can be hiding under body fat.
It only takes 1/8 of an inch of fat to hide the ridges in the muscles (which are in actuality tendinous intersections which allow proper flexion of the spine) which people generally refer to as a "six pack". So regardless of your age, if you have a moderate to high percentage of body fat, you could be hiding strong healthy abdominal muscles under there.
As is said commonly by personal trainers "Six packs are made in the kitchen."
Why do the sports drinks have the same water potential as the cell of your body?
because they are used for simulating the boys and contain proteins and elements which enhance the h20 cells in the human body
and
There are three reasons. First, fluids are absorbed through the gut and into the bloodstream faster when their osmolality closely matches that of body fluids such as blood.
Osmolality is the concentration of dissolved particles in a fluid. Sports drinks contain dissolved minerals (sodium, etc.) and carbohydrates, whereas water doesn't, so water doesn't reach the bloodstream as quickly.
Sodium and other nutrients also play important roles in regulating fluid balance in the body. In other words, they help determine how much fluid enters into muscle fibers and other cells, how much remains in the blood, and so forth. Again, because sports drinks contain these nutrients, they do a better job of allowing the body to maintain optimal fluid balance, which is an important aspect of hydration that few athletes consider.
A third advantage of sports drinks over water with respect to hydration is that the sodium content of sports drinks stimulates thirst, so athletes usually drink more when they have a sports drink than when they have plain water.

How to Get Fit in Two Weeks (Girls)
It's nice to have a great, toned, strong body. But as girls, we need to work harder for them, and put a little more push into our workout sessions. Do these moves once a day, and you'll have a nice, toned body in no time!
Steps1Get the supplies. You'll need two hand weights, 5 pounds are the best choice for middle school girls. If she is not quite into middle school try 3 or 3 and a half pounds. You can use water bottles filled with water or sand as well.
Strength moves1. \\\1
(1) Strengthen your arms.
Sit on your knees, keeping your back straight. Hold a 5 pound weight in each hand. Touch your elbows to your waist. Lift the weights by bending your elbows up, until the weights touch your shoulders. Slowly lower them. Going slow helps to build muscle faster. Do 3 sets of 20.
(2) Strengthen your legs.
Stand up with your feet more than shoulder width apart, so they are wide, but you still feel comfortable. You won't need your weights for this exercise (unless you really want to challenge yourself). Tighten your abs (stomach muscles), and jump. Land with your knees bent, feet together. To avoid hurting knees, try to land softly on your toes like a cat. Repeat with 3 sets of 15. 3
(3) Improve your arm strength.
Wall push-ups and full push ups, Wall push ups- Do 3 sets of 15, As they get easier move your feet farther away from the wall...the farther away the harder the push-up will be. Full push ups- Do 3 sets of 15.
(4) Strengthen your back.
Lie on your stomach. Have your arms be straight out in front of you, as your legs are straight behind you. Lift your arms and legs off of the floor. Hold for 30 seconds to 2 minutes, increasing as you get better. Squeeze your butt muscles for a body blast! Do a total of 3 times.
(5) Define and strengthen hips and waist.
Lie on your back. Raise your legs so your thighs are going straight up, knees are bent, and calves are pointing away from you. Put your hands behind your head, elbows pointing out. Touch your knees to your elbows. This also helps your abs. It's like doing crunches. Do 3 sets of 15.
(6) Firm your glutes.
Glutes are the muscles in your butt. Lie on your back with your feet pressed on the floor. (your legs will look like and upside down V). Put your arms straight down, parallel to your body. Raise your hips, squeezing glutes. Lace fingers together under hips. Hold 2 minutes.
(7) Tighten your calves.
This is one of the easiest leg exercises. Stand with your legs slightly apart, but not too far out. Slowly rise on your toes and then come back down again. Do 3 sets of 20.
Harder Moves, Working More
(1) Do up-downs.
This move works your legs, shoulders, butt, and abs. Hold your arms out straight in front of you. Jog in place, doing high knees (you touch knees to hands) for 10 seconds. Drop in a 'frog crouch' position. Put legs behind you so you're in a push-up position. Jump straight up, into starting position. Do this 15 times. It should be one motion.
(2) Perform leg raises.
This one's a big abdominal workout! It stretches or hamstrings, too. Lie on your back with hands under butt, elbows bent. Raise your legs up straight above you, like an 'L'. Push feet towards ceiling, raising hips and butt off the floor (use your abs). Lower to start position. Do 15 reps.
(3) Do frog sit-ups.
Work your abs more for a strong, flat tummy! Get in a sit-up position, but with the bottoms of your feet pushed together, and your knees pointed out. Put your hands behind your head, and do a crunch. Do 15.
These exercises work!!!!
What exercises do you do when you are fat only on your stomach and have a month to lose 6 pounds?
I disagree. Crunches WILL strengthen the muscles below the fat but you will need cardio exercise to remove the fat itself. If you need to lose 6 pounds in a month, first try walking. Get a pedometer (you can get one at the Dollar Tree for next to nothing) and then just walk. If it is too cold to walk around your neighborhood, go to a local mall and walk. The crunches should be an addition to a walking (or jogging, though I dont recommend jogging because of the damage it does to joints) routine and of course a diet. The basic rule for weight loss, regardless of what any fad diet tells you, is that calories expended must exceed calories taken in.
Is it normal for your skin to turn darker if you weight train a lot?
No. Maybe if you train in the open where you are exposed to the sun rays, then it is possible. Otherwise weight training does not cause your skin to turn darker.
More information is needed to answer the question "Is 135lbs over weight?". This can not be determined without knowing your age, sex, and height.
Can I lose weight without exercise?
It depends how overweight you are and how much improvement can be made in your diet. If you're eating 10,000 calories and you cut down to 2,000 calories, you'll lose some weight, for sure. And you can improve your health a lot by eating healthy, but without exercise you'll never be in good shape, and you'll be potentially inviting a number of diseases to strike you. Stay active or die, literally.
Answer2: Most people say they hate to exercise and you can lose weight without exercising. But you will not be toned and it takes muscle to burn those calories. But, for that toned, beautiful fabulous you, WALKING is the best exercise because it uses all the muscle groups. No need to join an expensive, get out and walk. Get some head phones, put on some good music and walk the block, the school track, the mall, but just walk. If you want to really build and tone those muscles, get some band and 5 and 8 pound weights, even a kettlebell. Check TJ Maxx and Marshalls, they always have them for excellent prices. Look online for many exercises with bands and weights and you will look fab and toned for the coming warmer months. I speak from experience, been there done that and doing well getting my weight down. My doctor is very proud. Check with your doctor for a healthy meal plan and get moving.
Can you have an increase in heart rate without an increase in blood pressure?
Sure, generally, if your heart beats faster, your blood pressure drops.
When is unintentional weight loss considered critical?
Usually, other symptoms appear because the weight loss could be due to hyperthyroidism. If you are losing weight though you are eating and exercising the same amount as usual, it would be wise to get treatment from a doctor, since it could be a sign of a serious medical issue. A couple pounds here or there is not an issue, but a sudden loss of 8 or more pounds is.

Do you burn the same calories if you walk 5 miles compared to running 5 miles?

Which body systems interact when a person shivers to warm up?
The circulatory system undergoes vasoconstriction -- a process where blood vessels constrict in order to reserve heat in the core of the human body.
The muscular system is responsible for shivering. Rapid twitching of the muscle results in heat being produced.
