What is pre workout?

I have heard this in a few contexts but the main definition of a pre workout is simply a warm up.

This is where you spend a short while (5-10 minutes, maybe longer or shorter depending on age and fitness) exercising (such as running, cycling and rowing) in order to get your heart rate up and blood pumping around your body. This is done to prevent injury as when your body is warmed up properly it can perform high resistance tasks such as weight lifting, if not properly warmed up (and you jump straight into a high intensity exercise, such as benchpress) you may badly damage the muscle.

hope that helps :)

Action of the Quadricpts muscle?

The main action of the quadriceps or "quads" is walking. This muscle helps straighten the knee and maintain posture. Without this muscle, running, walking, and even standing would be quite impossible.

Does trampolining exercise the Kegel muscles?

No. The Kegel exercises are designed for toning and tightening the PC muscles, the supporting muscles of the pelvic floor, aka the pubococcygeus muscles. The exercises involve the contracting and releasing of these pelvic floor muscles in a controlled way. The large muscle groups that are exercised with jumping and trampolining do not exercise the PC muscles. So, unless you at the same time clench the muscles that you clamp to "hold it in" (like when you have to urinate) while you jump on the trampoline, you will not be doing any exercise of the muscles involved in Kegel exercises. There are no muscles called the Kegel muscles. See the related questions for more details.

What exercises can you do at home to help get abs and pecs?

Crunches will always be best for abs. Use a little weight, holding it to your chest as you do your crunches. Go for the burn with high weight, low reps to get the 6-pack look. Pecs will respond well to high weight/low reps in a bench press configuration, again, going for the burn. To enlarge muscle mass, always go for total exhaustion of the muscle with high weight to force growth. You may need to invest in some weights and a bench, but the you should be able to reach your goal with just those two pieces of equipment.

If you eat healthy and do stomach crunches every day how can you tell if your stomach is muscle or fat if it still sticks out?

If your stomach hardens when you flex, then it is muscle. if you can still push your finger into some soft tissue even when ur flexing, then u probably still have some fat on your stomach. but that doesn't mean its not also very strong underneath.

What keeps your heart rate low during exercise?

The idea of exercise is to increase your heart rate, which strengthens your heart. However, a physically-fit person will naturally have a lower heart rate, as their stronger heart will circulate blood more effectively.

Lance Armstrong, for example, was known to have a resting heart rate in the 40s (per minute), which would translate into a slower heartbeat during the long stretches of the Tour de France; certainly a factor in his record seven wins.

In addition, if your heart is beating too fast (see the formula in the link below) you can slow it down by reducing the intensity of your exercise, and/or by taking a short break.

Is running 5 days a week for 30 minutes and crunches enough to lose weight?

It is certainly a great start. They questions is how many calories do you eat in a day? No amount of exercise will make you loose weight unless you are consuming less than you are exerting. Eat at least 1200 calories per day so you don't convince your body that you are starving, that will slow your metabolism. Overeating is the worst culprit for weight gain. You can choose any diet, even candy bars (not that that is recommended), but don't consume too many calories. Good luck with the running! Try other light weights for your arms, legs and back, this will increase your metabolism and help you look lean.

Put them into a sport/active activity that they ENJOY, they will have fun, so they will continue to do that activity and eventually begin to loose weight and become happy and proud of themselves, and then they will increase the amount of time/effort they put into the sport and loose even more. Also be sure to feed them the correct amount of protein, calcium, and vegetables to keep them from gaining it back as soon as they loose it.
