In regards to shin splints should you elevate your legs at night?
Elevating your legs would likely have little to no effect on relieving shin splint symptoms, as this would primarily serve to reduce blood flow in an effort to reduce swelling and inflammation. Ibuprofen and ice will accomplish this much more effectively.
"Shin splints" is more of a symptom that could be caused by several conditions than a specific condition itself. Pain or discomfort in the front lower leg when running or jumping are a good indication of this type of condition. Putting pressure on the muscles next to the tibia (shin bone) will produce discomfort or pain. Take two fingers and apply firm pressure as you slide your fingers along the tibia where the bone and muscle meet on the medial (inside) and lateral (outsided) sides of the tibia (shin bone). If you feel pain in any of these areas it is likely that either the muscle is pulling away from the bone in microscopic tears or that you have small stress fractures along the tibia.
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. Ibuprofen or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatories can help reduce inflammation and speed up recovery. A good supplemental intake of calcium, Vitamin C, glucosamine, chondroiton, and MSM will ensure that your body has the materials it needs to repair itself.
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.

When you exercise to get a bigger butt how can you make it fat instead of muscular?
okay that is a good question. sorry to tell you this but it is all in your genes. there is no way to pick the spot on your body to gain weight in. if you dont naturaly gain weight there its not possible to only make that spot get fat. i understand that excersise doesnt always sound very apeiling however it works. youll have to do workouts for your but to make it bigger and firmer.
What foods make your breasts butt bigger without makin your tummy bigger?
It is impossible to have such foods. Just eat foods with hormones in them.
Can you lose weight or gain weight as much as 3 lbs or 3 lbs less in one day?
Yes, but it's not as though you'd be gaining or losing that much body mass. Your weight will naturally fluctuate throughout the day. If you were, for instance, to chug 1.5 liters of water (1.5 kg of fluid), guess what, you'd weigh 1.5 kg more (3.3 pounds), at least temporarily. Also remember that the accuracy of common bathroom scales isn't that great. You could weigh yourself twice in the same minute and get slightly different readings- your mass hasn't changed, it's just the scale's precision spitting out a different number.
Instead of worrying about small daily changes to your weight, simply take what your scale says with a grain of salt. What you should take note of is continued change in weight over time. If you weigh yourself one month and find yourself, say, 10 pounds heavier or lighter the next, you probably should take that as an indication that your body mass has indeed changed.
Everyone's weight fluctuates slightly over time, but making sure that your weight doesn't trend too far from your ideal weight by regular weighings is probably a smart idea.
How can exercise and wheight loss help to lower the blood sugar level in diabetic patient?
In diabetes there is insufficient insulin, a hormone, to convert glucose into glycogen for storage in the body.
Muscles need glucose to function effectively, so by exercising, the glucose travelling around in the blood will be directed straight to the muscles instead of being stored and therefore the blood sugar level will be lowered. Decreasing the intake of carbohydrates will directly lower the levels of glucose readily available and stored glucose, in the form of glycogen, will be converted back to be used as energy causing weight loss.
The diabetes drug Metformin may help as well as taking HGH growth hormone. Aside from exercise and calorie restriction this as the only way if the meds cannot be changed.
What workout could a 200 pound teen do to lose 50 pounds?
The key to weight loss, at any age, is simply eating and exercising
1st, you should compute your BMI, and then the number of calories your body needs to maintain your current weight. Do this by going to any good website. I suggest http:/www.revolutionhealth.com/calculators/daily-calorie-needs (an awesome one).
To loose approximately 2 pounds a week (it sounds slow, and will go much faster at first, but is the best way to loose and keep it off) you should eat approximately 500 calories less then needed each day, OR to exercises and burn it off (I do both and it speeds the process up, especially when you are down to 20 to 10 pounds to go).
For example, I am a 43 year old female, 5'7" tall, and weigh around 120 pounds. At complete rest my body needs 1725 calories to maintain that weight every day. When I want to loose weight, I will eat 1200 to 1300 calories every day.
Exercise should be part of your daily life anyway, so I suggest you workout 4 to 5 times a week. That should include 20 to 30 minutes of any type of cardio that keeps you interested. At first I walked (really fast) now I jog. You need to keep your heart rate up for 20 to 30 minutes. any additional workouts are extra. If you want to build muscle, you need to work with weights. Lower pounds more reps, burns calories, while, Higher pounds will rip/tear/heal and build muscle.
AND OF COURSE, check with your doctor. Have your game plan ready, explain what you want to do, have them give you a physical, and tell you that you are good to go......AND
Good Luck!!!

How can you get six pack abs fast?
HOW CAN YOU GET SIX PACK ABS FAST
How you can get six pack abs fast is through correct eating, cardiovascular (cardio) exercise, and abdominal exercise. In other words, the way to get six pack abs is to first make sure your muscle to fat ratio is correct.
There is no point doing abdominal work if you have a layer of belly fat. If you have a layer of belly fat, you will not see abs no matter how developed they are. In fact, if you develop muscle under a layer of fat, you can look worse than before you began. Abdominal exercises certainly are necessary but there is a public misconception that places these, as being more important than the correct diet for six-pack abs. Doing hundreds of crunches and sit-ups does not burn fat. Unless you first remove the fat, your abs will not show.
As little as, 1/16th to 1/4 of an inch of fat in the abdominal region is all that is needed to obscure your abdominals. Proper eating and exercise are the first steps. So, lets look at both before we move on to abdominal exercises.
HOW CAN YOU GET SIX PACK ABS FAST THROUGH CORRECT EATING HABITS
Eliminate, or strictly limit, refined processed carbohydrates (apart from an occasional treat). Over-consumption of these foods is a major cause of heart disease, weight gain, obesity, high blood pressure, insulin resistance, body fat accumulating around the stomach or abdomen, borderline or type 2 diabetes, and many other diet related diseases and conditions. By eliminating, or strictly limiting these foods you will be not only on your way to building six pack abs fast, you will also be on your way to optimum health and longevity.
Replace the refined processed carbohydrates with more of the so-called 'fat burning' foods and take full advantage of the fat burning thermic effect of these foods. Drinking plenty of water will help your body to process these foods. At the bottom of this answer, you will find a page link leading to a list of these nutritious foods and more information about the thermic effect of food. Unless for some medical reason you should not, I suggest drinking 2 or 3 quarts of clean water daily.
In addition, limit your intake of saturated fat. Use beneficial fat and oils. We DO need some fat in our diets. Unlike carbohydrates, proteins and fats are essential to health and to sustain life. In other words, you could live without carbohydrates if you had to.
However, if you ate a protein free diet or a fat free die, you would become unwell and die. (This is why very low fat diets can be detrimental to health.)
Historically, our bodies are well equipped to consume fats and proteins, but poorly equipped to consume carbohydrates. This is because our ancestors didn't evolve eating carbohydrates; they evolved eating fats and proteins. When digested, all carbohydrates become sugar. So think of eating carbohydrate as eating sugar and think of eating refined processed carbohydrate as eating concentrated sugar. For weight loss, get your carbohydrates from natural unprocessed sources such a low carbohydrate leafy green vegetables, or leafy green salads, and low carbohydrate fruits such as berries.
HOW CAN YOU GET SIX PACK ABS FAST THROUGH CARDIO EXERCISE
In addition to changing eating habits, engage in regular cardiovascular (cardio) exercise to burn body fat. Any activity that increases your heart and respiration rates is cardio exercise. There are different kinds of cardio exercise, and different degrees ranging from very intense to very mild. There is an inverse proportion between intensity and duration. Intense exercise must be brief! For example, you can sprint 100 meters, but you cannot sprint 5000 meters. Intense cardio exercises include running, interval training, and graded exercise protocol. An example of mild cardio exercise would be a brisk walking plan (on a treadmill or outdoors). At the bottom of this answer, there are page links to a choice of free cardio exercise plans -- mild, intense, or a combination of cardio and weight training exercise if you want to go further to build muscle and burn fat.
Here are a few other examples of cardio exercise:
- trampolining
- minitrampolining
- nordic walking
- aerobic dancing
- running
- rowing
- jogging on a treadmill or outdoors
- cross-country skiing
HOW CAN YOU GET SIX PACK ABS FAST THROUGH AB AND CORE EXERCISES
Some people believe that the way to get six pack abs fast is to train the abs every day. This will not speed up the process, however, because muscles need time to recuperate and grow.
Training causes damage to the muscles, and, because of this, the muscles respond by getting bigger and stronger. Therefore, daily ab workouts will not allow enough time for the abdominals to rest and grow.
However, the abdominals do recuperate faster than most other muscle groups. So, you could train them up to 3 times per week. The time it takes to see results varies in relation to body fat percentage. When the fat has gone, however, you should start to see results within a week or two if you do your ab workouts correctly (and if you continue to avoid or strictly limit refined processed carbohydrate. At the bottom of this answer, there are page links leading to free exercises for six-pack abs (suitable for beginners or more advanced).
HOW CAN YOU GET SIX PACK ABS FAST: SUMMARY
So, there is many myths about core strength exercises, six-pack abs, and how you can get six pack abs fast.
FACT: You can huff and puff doing crunches every day but all that work will be for nothing unless you first reduce body fat. Therefore, avoid or restrict refined processed carbohydrates, eat more or the specific fat burning proteins, and engage in regular cardio exercise. Then when you have lost any excess body fat, begin your ab and core exercises. As stated earlier, if you begin your ab and core exercises too soon, you will end up with muscle under a layer of fat. (Then you can look worse than before you began!)
