Exercise

Bout 6 or 7 lbs. my mystery with thunder trucks is 5 1/2lbs

No, you can load the trucks without having to go to college, higher than that I'm not sure.

people can swim for a long time. there is miles, yards, there are for hours at a time.

The longest that i have know is that of going on for 7 hours in that time the person swam for 40600 yards. Yet this was only a study of how long a person could swim at a constant rate.

You're going to want to eat high carb foods; pasta, oatmeal, breads, potatoes (white and sweet). PLENTY of fruits and vegetables with protein (grilled chicken works). You are going to be eating at least 2-3 times what you usually would because you need to fuel your body for running. Avoid "whites", going for whole wheat instead. Drinking at least 1 gallon of water per day insures your body is properly hydrated to cool your body while running. Almonds, peanuts, etc make great on the go snacks for marathon runners. remember, if you're going to be running for more than an hour (easy) or 45 minutes (intense), drink an electrolyte beverage such as Gatorade or Powerade.

if you want to loose weight in ramadan- eat lots of protein like chicken and fish and avoid fried foods which are everywhere at iftar time. try and do regular but not straining exercises, and mainly "CUT OUT THE FAT" as my auntie humeara says. and dont take too much food in at once,eat until you are full, eat healthier foods such as fruits and vegetables.

i believe that you might have a little six pack that needs to get bigger in order to see it when you stand up

hope this helps

you can't. i doubt you'll even see a difference in any less then 6 weeks of training

After graduating High School I weighed 230 lbs. Dieting did nothing so I started drinking much more water than usual which helped a lot. I wasn't a big runner but I'd go walking at night when it was cool. Soon I got used to that and started running, more and more often. When the summer was over I weighed 170 lbs, not even kidding. I'm still suprised at what determination can do. Just remember to be routine or it will all have been for nothing, you won't get to relax in Basic Training. Not trying to sound silly, but also try and go to the bathroom more often, get used to clearing out your entire system. Really helps. If you are having a hard time, get other people your age to go running with you. Keep in contact with your recruiter; attend the weekly poolie functions at the recruiting station. Be able to do at least 4 pull-ups and run 3 miles without stopping. If unable to do that, don't worry they will work with you but it will make it a lot easier on yourself. Marine Corps Basic is the most difficult (13 weeks long) but the process is more mental than physical. Go in there with a good attitude about everything, dont take it TOO seriously. When your platoon gets punished it's usually because of someone else who can't take it anymore and screws up. Don't be that guy. Good luck!

on a bike

I wouldn't say it was "bad" but i would say its a waste of time.

Are you asking "Will lifting weights one hour per year result in increased muscle mass?" If so the answer is NO!

beats per minute

Hiking

track and field

at least 3000 during the weak 2000 on the weak ends. Good calories though.

The only answer to this is several sets of light deadlifts. You warm up your muscles and prepare your body for an exercise by going through that same range of motion and preparing your body for that very movement.

No cardio before weight lifting is a bad idea. The reason for that is you want to do the hardest part and the most taxing part of training first. If you do cardio before weight lifting you are going to deplete your muscle glycogen as well as your energy and come to lifting already fatigued. Versus training when you're fresh and then finishing with cardio.

Maximum heart rate

because gravity is pulling the weight down...

Look at what you are eating closely. I had a friend at highschool who said she couldn't gain weight - but all she ate was lollies and fruit. You need to eat heavy foods - breads, meats, diary. Are you eating sensibly? At regular times? And althought it sounds yuck - look at the stuff coming out the other end. Is it digested? Or just passing through your body. You could have a medical condition. I have a girlfriend that is slim, but she works out and now has good muscle tone. I use to be on the thin side when I was in my teens, but when I was 20 I was my proper weight. Be thankful you are on the thin side (as long as you eat well) but 3/4 of the United States and Canada are fighting the battle of the bulge.

you might have a heart palpatation

It was a brutal regiment involving calisthenics, believe it or not as we know them today, they were in fact invented in ancient Greece, and Kettle Bells, also invented in Greece, although, there is no archeological evidence for them. Kettlebells exist in Russia, because the Slavs lived within the borders of the largely Greek influenced Byzantine Empire. If you look closely, the Alphabet of the Russian language has a ressemblance to Greek writting, as it was the Greeks who first educated the Slavs. When Constantinople fell to the armies of Mehmed II of the Turks, the Slavs went to various parts of eastern Europe, and the lion's share of them ended up in what is now Russia, where they took with them all the stuff they learned from the Greeks, ranging from wrestling, writting, and political corruption.

The ancient Greek regiment involved a diet rich in fiber, anti oxidants obtained primarily from fruits, and high in protein and calcium. Vitamins were obtained from whatever vegetables were indigenous to ancient Greece. Athletes in fact only consumed 3 square meals a day according to their apetite, but were careful not to gorge. In Islam, its so-called prophet says "eat only until you're full," that is in fact ancient Greek wisdom, it did not originate in Arabia. If you are strength training, if you are only so hungry, eat only so much; they had a very "listen to your body" approach. Most people who strength train tend to eat too much or too little.

1) All Greek men woke up before the sun was out for a morning jog at around 4 a.m. However, what separated athletes and warriors from the rest of the citizen class, was that athletes and warriors kept training throughout the day in whatever their sport or skill was. As a general rule though the fitness routine was the same across all Greece.

2) Following what was I think a 7 to 10 mile run, they would do an hour of calisthenics where they would do 100 everything, in a row, "circuit" style. Followed by the calisthenics they would do dancing, now that I recall. The Calisthenics would end, before I forget, with arms-only "sitting" rope climbs, said rope climbs are still done in the balkans today.

3) After the calisthenics, kettle bell swings where, using a 60 lb kettle bell, having worked up to it from teenhood, they would do 100 everything yet again. The session would end with stretches, the men would clean themselves and then go about their business. Athletes would continue training in their sport until the sun came down, in the Greek summer time that was about close to 9 p.m. I believe. Warriors would generally do the same; the members of the warrior class, at least in Thebes and Sparta. Athens did not have a warrior class, rather they had a vast army of professional soldiers later in their history, namely during the infamous pelop whatever wars (wiki it). Its peloponesian, I forget the spelling, it something along those lines.

I came across this information while at college, and even then, the text only offered vague methods, if you want to seriously research Greek fitness you will need to travel to New York or London, and track down ultra obscure tomes. Anything you find, will likely have dust on it, or be in very bad condition. Believe it or not, Greece itself is not a good source of information for obscure Greek stuff; better brush up on your Italian, because if you want ancient mediterranean fitness information, you will need to go to the libraries in Italy. Renaissance scholars did their best to track down and preserve any knowledge from ancient times, so for expert writting, Italy is the place to go, sometimes colleges in London, or perhaps Oxford, may have translations but don't hold your breath.
