How do you get rid of shin splits?

You must ice the shins down. Pack in ice until the pain of the cold diminishes. Remove the ice until normal feeling returns, and repeat. Do this once or twice a day until the pain of the shin splints is gone. You will find that ice can do miracles.

Shin splints result from the pointing of the toe under weight, as in running, or jumping, as soft tissue behind the shin separates from bone. Swelling results, and actually causes further damage. Ice stops the swelling, and once the ice is removed, allows healing to begin.

If possible, minimize or halt the activity that is causing the injury.

Icing works best when applied immediately, or as soon as possible after the injury is incurred.

Never apply heat, until all your shin pain and swelling has passed. Only then will heat facilitate healing.

How long will it take to lose 175 pounds if you are 5'8 and weigh about 325 pounds?

Let's say you are losing a healthy amount of weight a week.. 2 pounds sounds good.

It would take you around 82 weeks to lose 175 pounds. That's around 2 and a half years.

If you are losing weight the healthy way-clean eating, cardio and strength training-you will notice a lot of difference with not that much weight lost.

How could you best lose weight in one month?

First and foremost you must see a doctor. You need to have a professional give you a physical to determine a safe and achieveable workout program for you to begin. It is also a great idea to see a nutritionist to give you a healthy template for your new diet routine.

Once those steps are done it comes down to discipline. Follow the workout guidelines your doctor gave you (or create your own with the boundaries the doctor has given you) and be sure to stick closely to the diet that your nutritionist has discovered.

The trickiest thing is that true and successful healthy living takes years. Beware of any product which boasts "lose weight in one month" because they are going to throw your body into a cycle of losing weight quickly, then scrambling to put it back on, then losing it again, then putting it back on, and etc...

Just remember, a six pack is a lifestyle, not a target. Good luck!

How many calories should a 5'1 171 pound female eat exercising on treadmill 5 days a week walking 3.5 miles at 3.6 miles per hour?

Depends on what your goal is. Caloric intake can roughly be estimated by 11x[ideal weight in lbs]. However, your intake shouldn't be less than 1000 calories per day or more than 500 less your maintenance wight (e.g. at 171, your maintenance intake is roughly 1881 so you should be consuming no less than 1381) unless under the supervision of a physician. So if your intake is 1381, just eat enough that it takes into account how much you also burn off that day with exercise (e.g. if you burn 200 calories on the treadmill, then eat 1581 calories that day). How much you burn is dependent on your weight and effort - be wary of what the machine reports because if it doesn't ask you to input your weight, the calories-burned report is likely based on 150lbs. There are a number of online calorie-burning calculators that you can google that tells you how much you would burn with each exercise.

Should you meditate before or after a walk?

Personally, I equate meditation with prayer, so if you can handle it "pray without ceasing" as the Bible says. But there are also personal considerations. Is it hard for you to get up the energy for a walk? Then definitely, I would recommend an extra effort before you start. Is it easy for you to put out a physical effort but difficult for you to calm down afterward? Then I'd make time for some extra prayer or meditation afterward.

Will swimming make you bulky?

No because swimming is classed as a cardiovascuar exercise that doesn't involve any spesific weight lifting. Also it is very hard for women to gain muscle as we don't have to right hormones.

How many miles a day would you have to jog to lose 20 pounds in 2 months and would I have to starve myself?

This question needs more information. Weight/Height? You should never have to starve youself. Depending on your weight and height you can get away with eating around 1700 calories per day with daily exercise you will lose weight. Unless you are 'Obese' then you probably won't lose 20 pounds in 2 months. I would expect a 1-2lb fatloss per week without going catabolic (losing muscle).

Is it okay to work out your butt daily and get results?

when you work out your muscles tear, if you work the same one everyday then it has no time to heal, so work it every other day

If you did Tae-bo for one hour a day and you weighed 127 pounds how long would it take you to lose a pound?

If your ate exactly the amount of energy your body uses (not including Tae-Bo) then it would take around 7 hours of Tae-bo to lose one pound of fat. However during this time it may be likely you gain 100 grams of muscle, so the scales will never reflect fat loss 100%. The formula is: 1 pound of fat loss requires a calorie deficit of 3500 Calories. 7 hours of tae-bo at approx 500 Kcal per hour equates to 3500 Kcal in energy spent and 1 pound of fat lost, while muscle density increasing. IF your heart rate was above 80% Max heart rate fro this whole hour, then you Kcal use will be higher. If you were active all the time and could hold a conversation the whole time (under 70% Max heart rate the Kcal uses will be a little lower. The good thing however is that tae- Bo will increase flexability and muscle tone.

How do you build pecks?

Flex your pecks...Some good exercises for that muscle group are: Push-ups, Bench Presses, & cable crossovers on a universal gym...

If you are looking to gain mass, you need to do resistance exercises.

1. Bench heavy weight low reps.

2. Dumb bell press heavy weight low reps

3. Lots of protein, you need protein for muscles

sets like 5 or 7 reps per set not only will you gain mass, but your strength will increase

dramatically

4. If you are looking to tone up you need to do many reps low weight!

I strongly urge that when you choose to gain to much mass later in life you might not be happy with the mass you gained!

Do you have to wear anything for shin splints?

Although wearing neoprene sleeves on the lower legs and certain taping methods can relieve some of the discomfort in the lower leg commonly referred to as "shin splints," the only real treatment for shin splints is rest and ice. Shin splints are usually used to describe the pain and discomfort associated with the tibialis anterior muscle being torn off of the tibia because of a strength imbalance between this muscle and the soleus and gastrocnemius. To recover, the athlete should rest and apply ice to the affected area of the shin in 20-30 minute segments as often as possible. The athlete may return to exercise after the area is no longer sensitive to pressure along the tibia, the athlete can perform lower leg stretches without discomfort, and a light jog is shown to produce no pain or discomfort. The recovery period will usually take 2-3 weeks, but this can vary greatly among athletes.

To prevent shin splints from reoccurring, or to prevent them from ever occurring in the first place, one should engage in an exercise program that targets strengthening the tibialis anterior directly. This short video shows a simple exercise that is very effective in preventing shin splints. http://danpine.com/77/prevent-shin-splints-with-this-strange-exercise/

How much fat do you burn while sweating?

Fat isn't so much burnt as a direct result of sweating, but rather both occur as a result of exercise. I imagine there would be very little energy loss in sweating itself, though it is a good sign that the exercise is using up quite a bit!

Can cellulite reduction exercises help you lose weight?

Whether you blame heredity, or you've been struggling after having a beautiful baby, cellulite affects 80% of women over the age of 20. Cellulite buildups are a natural (and frustrating) part of life. Fat gets locked into pockets below the surface and, unlike other fat in our bodies, it can't be dieted or exercised away. Cellulite may have the appearance of cottage cheese, but it's actually a tough substance that gathers under the surface of your skin and is impossible to wipe away with lotions, creams or even intense exercise. In order to make a real difference, treatments must physically break down the cellulite layer.

Is metabolism the ability to gain or lose weight when on a diet?

Is taking a laxative daily good for you Does it help you lose weight?

Laxatives are dangerous; they may result in temporary weight loss (caused by loss of water, not by loss of fat), and abusing them can result in severe medical complications resulting in hospitalization and, in some cases, even death. Laxatives should be used ONLY when someone is suffering from EXTREME constipation, and even then only rarely.

How much exercise do you need to do to burn off 55 grams of fat?

Remember firstly that you're always burning calories, even when you aren't exercising. Secondly, remember that not all the calories you burn during exercise are from fat, as some are from carbohydrates, and a few are from protein. 55 grams of fat are roughly 500 calories. So to do exercise which burns off the number of calories found in 55 grams of fat, you'd need to do... well, some exercise which registers 500 calories as being burned. That depends on the intensity of your exercise, along with your body composition/mass (larger people doing the same activity would burn more calories, as they have to move a greater mass through this activity). That could be 45 minutes of intense biking or whatever else tickles your fancy. Again, remember that you're always burning calories, even just sitting around. The average person would burn around 1000-1500 calories a day just lying in bed all day. It's not consuming too many grams of fat which makes a person gain weight, it's consuming more calories in a day than one expends, whether it's from fats, carbohydrates or protein.

Does smart burn with hoodia cause weight loss?

No, but it does indirectly. Basically what hoodia does is make you feel full all the time so you never get late night cravings, When you eat a small meal, you will feel as if you just ate an entire buffet. Smart burn does not have a very good mix of hoodia with other ingredients though. i would recommend trying a different product with hoodia in it such as Zylene, Hoodithin, et.
