The bleep test and why it is used as well in finding out if you have the aprropriate level of fitness for a particular team sport.

Sports involving muscular strength?

many sports where you have to work certain muscles repetitively using the same amount of energy with each force against resistance. long distance sports such as cycling, marathon running and swimming are all muscular endurance activities. however, sports such as football and rugby where you have to be able to control your endurance for a certain period of time, require this, as you will be constantly running.

How can a chocoholic learn to stay away from chocolate to lose weight?

Reduce the amount you eat each day, until you get down to only one piece a day. Do not eliminate chocolate from your diet completely. That will make you yearn for it even more. We usually want what we cannot have.

Instead, have a small piece of dark chocolate every day. Dark chocolate in a small amount is good for you and your health.

If you know that you can have that one piece, you will not feel deprived, and you will decide when you want to enjoy it.

If you feel you must have something sweet after a meal, brush your teeth instead. Brushing is good for your teeth, and will take away the urge for sweets.

Substituting another type of sweet for chocolate is not going to get you to break the habit. It will merely exchange something else for the chocolate. One good way to cut down is dont buy any, dont have any in your home that way if you get tempted its not there. by asking them do to join an exercise program Eat chocolate in moderation. Plan a exercise goal and once you acheive that goal, reward yourself with a small piece of chocolate. Chocolate is actually good for you and increases the release of seratonin( the body's feel good chemical). ADD ON: There are types of chocolate out there that are dark and made mostly from cocoa extract. The ones that are good healthy chocolate or those that have between 90-100% cocoa extract. This actually helps with blood pressure and to regulate sugar levels. ANOTHER ADD-ON: Find many healthy low-calorie foods that you like better (it takes time to acquire the taste for these), and little-by-little, replace bad habits with healthy ones. Do it not merely to lose weight, but to gain health, feel better, and live longer. It saves money, too.

However, if you diet for the reason of gaining self-esteem, you will get tense and have trouble (esp. if unsuccessful). If you diet for reasons like health, you can relax, and it will be easy. Enjoy the process-- being healthy is the greatest feeling in the world.

Is your metabolism messed up if you used to be anorexic and you're now eating around 1400 calories a day and can't stop gaining weight?

If you were anorexic, you probably lost a lot of muscle mass. It will take you a while to build back muscle and muscle is where you burn calories. Try building muscle mass. Eat plenty of calories and specifically 60 to 80 protein grams or more and exercise to build back muscle mass. You really need to get healthy again and you'll only do that by building muscle.

Does the comcast on demand videos actually help you lose weight?

Absolutely! If you use them on a regular basis and alter your diet as well. I use or have used many of the various workouts. Of course, you have to continue to move to more advance videos as you progress.

Just started exercise and weights yesterday and woke up gaining 3 ponds today i think they say this is normal but i still feel dicouraged how can i get encouraged to keep going?

OK, the reason you just gained 3 pounds is because your muscles tighten and they get swollen because they are not used to being put under that much strain. If you keep up your work out then your muscles will get used to it and then you would be able to lift heavier objects and keep improving your workout.

Why do i have a fat and hard tummy around my belly button and I want it to go flat but it isn't I dont eat much and i walk a lot?

Weight gain is unique for every person. So essentially the first place you gain weight on your body is the last place you will lose it. So even if you're pretty thin, your belly might be the last place your extra fat stays. My suggestion is to do a little more cardio because that will help you burn a few more calories (instead of leisure walking, try intervals of 5min of speed walking or jogging). Also, tightening up those lower ab muscles could help, so try doing V-ups or crunches with your legs laying flat out on the floor in front of you. Hope this helps and good luck! :)

What muscles are used in a split?

Hamstrings, hip abductors, rectus femoris(one of the quadriceps muscles) and hip flexor.

When does your stomach burn fat and when does it burn muscle?

Your stomach doesn't burn fat. Your body does.

If you mean when does your body burn fat, it's simple. When there is cortisol in your system from a stressful workout and your muscle mass is being used and maintained, you will burn fat. If cortisol is released but your muscles aren't being used much as in steady state cardio, muscle will be burned.

Focus on short, intense workouts and use your muscles rather than steady, boring cardio. This will make you fat and weak.

Do gallbladder problems effect exercise?

Not directly.

Of course, nausea, stomach pain and diarrhea can all affect exercise so gall bladder problems could have an indirect effect.

How can i lose weight fast i am pretty busy and cant do much cardio or Zumba or running?

Intermittent fasting, the new trend.

I struggled for decades being overweight. I just couldn't control portions. I noticed that I tend to eat much larger portions during dinner and midnight binge eating.

I made it a habit to not eat anything after 8pm. I do not practice any particular diet control during any of the meals. I eat normal food and as much until i feel full. After the last meal at 8pm, no more food till 8am. Not even fruit or desserts. Just plain water.

This intermittent fasting did help lose weight and maintain it. Wishing you all the best to attain weight loss and meet your goals.

Does losing a lot of blood from your period make you lose some weight?

Of course anything shed from your body will equate to a loss of weight (even if its extremely minimal), but it will come back when all that blood that was lost is regained for the next cycle. i would not count on a woman's period as a form of exercise or a means of weight loss.

I have been on a high protein diet and walking everyday for 5 weeks now. I am not loosing weight on my tummy. Can someone help me?

You cannot lose weight in just one area. You lose fat proportionally throughout your body. Second, you may be able to percieve your tummy as having lost weight if you do sit-ups because the increase in muscle tone will essentially keep you from pooching out your stomach. Third, high protein diet means nothing. You could be eating bacon and ground beef and that would not help you lose weight anywhere. There is a common misconception that if you eat protein then your fat will melt away. Not true. Try doing a more intense cardio (if you are fit enough, please consult your doctor) work out becasue walking does not burn very many calories. Ok, then monitor the amount of calories you are eating each day and match that with the amout you are 'burning' each day. (don't over do it you do need enough to keep yourself alive and healthy) Then I really recommend you taper back on the protein and start adding a signifigant amout of veggies. Then stop eating white bread and pasta and switch to whole wheat because it is more nutritonal, keeps you full longer and takes longer to process into 'sugar'. NO fried foods and NO butter! Sorry, they are high in fat and cholesterol. Fruit is also a very good thing as well. So the plan is you can eat veggies and fruit till you are blue in the face and lose weight assuming you are eating a common USA diet now and that you do not add anything to your veggies. Potatoes do not count I'm talking brussel sprouts and squash here.

If you weigh 140 and are 5'7 what is the best way to gain muscle mass?

How do you lose 80 pounds in healthy ways?

plenty of exercise and a healthy diet will make you loose weight. while what this person said in the sentence before me is accurate some people cant exercise so u have look at that also.. eating small portions of meals and more of them a day will help out per say u have a large steak and potato's, split them in half or even a 1/4 and don't go back for seconds Wait a few hours then eat some more of it.. also eat it slow, eating fast is telling your stomach that its not full yet while if u eat it slow your stomach has time to catch up and tell the brain its full. exercise is important but don't push yourself if u feel a burning sensation anywheres in your body slow down for a while and give your body a rest.. if u push that burning sensation to much you will tear a muscle. stay away from the sweets.. eat greens with meals.. salads are extremely healthy for you try eating at least one or two salads a day.. but don't give up on your beef or other meats.. they play an important roll in your body also..
