What is a normal weight for a 6' 5 man?
There is no set answer. Body weight is a misleading measure. Since people have different builds, different people of the same height and sex can have the same percentage of body fat and yet have different body weights. Therefore, what is important is body composition. The reason for this is that muscle weighs more than fat. What counts more than your body weight is your percentage of body fat. If you are a male, your percentage of body fat should probably be about 10 to 15% for good health.If you are a female, your percentage of body fat should probably be about 15 to 20% for good health. To determine your percentage of body fat at home, obtain some plastic body fat calipers and do a simple skin-fold test. Body fat calipers are not expensive, are readily available to buy, and can replace a scale or balance. ----
How much weight can you lose by using the Ab lounge for 2 weeks?

1000 cal a day is an impossibly low figure. If you were to try that you would most probably lose your health faster than you lost your weight. And slim but sick isn't much of an improvement. At 14 your recommended daily intake is about 1800 - 2000 cal, so start by seeing if you're currently currently overeating. Since you're still growing dieting is trickier than for adults, as you are more at risk if you don't get all your nutrients. See what happens if you shoot for 1800 cals and one hour of exercise each day for a month first.

Remember that what's made you overweight is an unhealthy lifestyle. Going on a diet and then going back to your previous lifestyle will simply put that weight back on again. What you need to do to be successful in your weightloss is to find a new and healthier lifestyle, but it has to be one that you can hang on to.
You've probably spent years putting the weight on, so expect to spend some time losing them too. For adults losing 2-3 pounds/week is a good target, but as you're probably not fully grown yet it becomes trickier. For you it'd probably be more accurate to measure weight, waist and length to keep track of what's happening. If your weight remains the same while you are growing taller that'd also lower your BMI.

How far do you have to jog to lose 1 pound?
really really far.
one pound of body mass is usually equated to 3500 calories burned.
depending on how fast you are jogging you usually only burn about 5 calories a minute. if you are running a 10 minute mile
3500 calories/5 calories per minute = 700minutes/10 minutes per mile = 70 miles
good luck.
How long should you start walking on a treadmill for the first time?
It depends on your physical condition. If you can, try to start out with 20 minutes of walking with 3 miles per hours. Do this every other day for two weeks, and you are ready to start loading some more time to the table. Add 5 more minutes in the next two weeks until you hit 30 minutes of walking in that speed. After that your primary goal is to do the thirty minutes of exercising with more intensity. Add some speed to the treadmill every other week until you hit 8 miles per hour. From this point on, you should focus on trying to get more and more time to your workouts, until you hit one hour workouts. After that, you should be in a great physical condition and keep that up or consult a professional trainer about what to do next if you still want to improve.
Eating around 1000 calories a day and exercise intensely every day how quickly to lose a pound?
Eating 1000 calories a day and exercising intensely is actually an unhealthy choice. The average person should consume + or - 500 calories from 2000 calories, depending on the individual person and their lifestyle. One pound of fat is equal to 3,500 calories. When 3,500 calories of fat is burned, that is equal to losing one pound of fat. This should be done by eating foods with high protein and monounsaturated fats, while avoiding saturated fats, and getting physical activity on a daily basis.

If you suffer from back pain or kidney pain, you may want to try sports that don't rely on your back or lumbar region. Perhaps riding recumbent bikes, weightlifting for other parts of the body, perhaps walking, running, or jogging, and perhaps kayaking (depending on how your back pain works). A doctor can examine you and help you determine what sports fit with your physical limitations.
What are some pyrokinetic exercises for kids?
Pyrokinesis is the manipulation of Fire. If this is indeed what you are looking for, then sit them down and have them concentrate really hard on flames, heat etc. Have them out in the yard, or somewhere where they won't burn anything. As long as they concentrate, whether that be in a meditative state or not, they are surely to advance in their pyrokinetic techniques. It works the same way with telekinesis and most other psychokinetic techniques.
I am twelve years old and weigh 192 pounds how can i drop thirty pounds at this young age?
The key to weight loss is exercise and a good diet. The first step in any weight loss program is to get help from a medical professional.
In order to lose weight you must "spend" more calories than you take in. For example, if you eat a chicken sandwich from Popeye's you will have consumed about 680 calories. Walking will burn about 114 calories per hour. You see how much you would have to walk to get rid of the calories you just took in. The solution is a low calorie and low fat life style change. Don't call it a diet because "diets" don't work but life style changes are forever. Please remember to take in 64 ounces of water a day. This will help to flush the toxins and the fat from your body.
