Can under armour be used as a bench press shirt?
i recall reading something about this a couple years ago. a study found that wearing a compression top like under armour or the knock offs actually resulted in more reps on average per set. they specifically adressed it as it pertained to the flat bench press.
Can you lose stomach weight by swimming free style?
If free style for you is floating on your back for hours, then no. But, moving around a lot in the water is a great way to exercise while putting limited stress on your bones and joints.
But as for "stomach weight" if you mean belly fat, sure... But there aren't any specific exercises that only burn fat in a specific area of your body. Everyone's body is different, and fat is stored/burned differently for every individual.
Why do I get an extremely red face during aerobic exercise Is it menopause related?
Becoming "flushed", or red faced, is a normal part of the body's cooling mechanism. When we exercise we produce extra heat (burn calories), and the body has to cool itself. Sweating is one way. The sweat glands are activated to put water on the surface of the skin, and when the water evaporates it cools. Read about "heat of vaporization". It's a basic principle of physics and indirectly describes how we cool ourselves.
But sweat is only half of the way that we cool ourselves.
When the skin becomes sweaty we also need to put a lot of blood to the surface of the skin so that it can be cooled as the sweat evaporates. The capillaries dilate, allowing more blood to circulate at the surface of the skin and be cooled.
Many times people who are getting the most benefit from the exercise, (working hardest, creating the most heat) will sweat the most and more easily "flush".
It's normal. Just keep exercising.
What exercises would tone the thigh muscle?
There is no such thing as "toning". To make the muscle stand out more or appear more "toned", body fat must be reduced. That is achieved through a combination of diet and exercise. It isn't possible to reduce fat in a particular area of the body, so you have to lose fat everywhere. The largest muscle groups in the thigh are the quadriceps (the large muscle in the front of the thigh) and the hamstrings (in the back of the thigh). Any exercise that straightens the knee works the quads, and exercises that bend the knee or straighten the hips by pivoting your pelvis will work the hamstrings. Those exercises used as part of a diet and exercise program will increase the size and strength of those muscles. Some exercises that work those muscles include squats, dead-lifts, lunges, leg extensions, leg presses, leg curls and variations of those exercises.
Affects of exercise on respiratory minute volume?
Respiratory minute volume refers to the volume of breath per minute. During exercise, this amount increases up to 20 to 30 times the normal value. Exercising regularly improves lung performance and makes breathing easier.
When lifting weights do muscle tissues form new cell to make the muscles larger?
No, muscles do not create new cells over time; they merely generate microscopic 'tears' in the muscle after strenuous activity then fill in the 'gaps' which makes the muscles longer instead of having more cells.

Why is it bad to give type AB to type A?
The blood AB has A and also B antigens while the A blood only has A. When AB blood is given to the person with A blood type, the body will recognize it as a foreign blood and will destroy the blood. The recipient will then die.
Yes, you will lose fat from your whole body and probably pretty fast. You might not lose weight though because you will be building muscle and it weighs more than fat. Don't be discouraged though muscle is also smaller than fat and while you might not see a difference on the scale you will see a nice difference in your shape and how clothes fit. It's not really possible to predict whether you will lose weight because we don't know how many calories are contained in those balanced meals. The fact that they are balanced has little relevance to weight gain or loss. If your caloric intake actually increases because you are hungrier now that you're running daily, that may offset any benefit in calories burned by running. Your stamina will improve, you may lower your resting heart rate, and you my reduce your recovery time -- all good things -- and not lose an ounce. Remember this general rule: To lose one pound a week, you must create a 500-calorie-per-day deficit. So, lowering your intake by 250 calories (two cans of regular soda) while increasing your physical activity by 250 calories (about a half hour on the treadmill) should do the trick.
If anything ever occurs in a pattern then a cycle is one repetition of that pattern. The earth for instance will repeat its cycle every 365.24 days. (the 0.24 is what contributes to leap year)

Wikipedia's oldest people article says that the oldest woman was 122 years and 164 days old and the oldest man was 120 years and 237 days old. The man's age however has had some dispute. If the 120 year old man's age wasn't true, then the oldest man would be 115 years and 252 days old.

Why do 2004 Chevy Cavalier blinker bulbs keep burning out after just a few days?
you may have a short check to see if you can find any bare wires in the system hope this helps The '03 model had a recall on the socket assembly,due to bad contact. The blinker would go double time like it was a burnt bulb but OHMing would vrify that the lamp was good. We took ours to the Dealer for the "FIX" and after two days without the car it came back worse. I found that by gently bowing out the contact wires on the lamp with my pocket knife I no longer had any problems. Also remember to never let the lamp come in contact with your skin as the natural oil on yer grubby little paws will shorten the lamps life.
Another warm-up is kneeling on one knee and pushing the other leg straight forward. For example, if you kneel on your right knee and push your left leg forward and stretch, then you'd be helping your left split. You could also lie face-down and prop your legs up into a frog position. Push down to stretch the middle split.
After some fresh warming up, it's time for the real thing. Just stand in a straddle position, and slowly lower yourself and spread your legs little by little. Keep going until it starts to hurt, then let the pain be just bearable enough, but don't stretch too much to make the pain unbearable, or else you might rip a muscle. Once you've gone the lowest you can with pain just bearable enough, stay there for about a minute. Through doing this frequently everyday, you should be able to go a little lower with less pain every week until your legs form a 180o angle.
For a different practice, lie down flat face-up, and use your hands to pull one straight leg toward your chest, so your knee goes toward your chest. Hold and feel the tightness for a short while, then repeat with the other leg.
For the best flexibility, repeat the whole process in all 3 ways: left split (left leg forward, right leg back), right split (vice-versa of left split), and straddle split (left leg pointing left, right leg right).
Stretch everyday by doing butterfly, straddle, and lounges.
Practice obviously helps. Practicing smartly helps even more.
Overview - First make tired the muscle about to be stretched then stretch it.
Note - For this type of exercise the muscle recovers VERY fast so it ends up that you need to tire it for about 16 seconds then stretch it for about 12. After twelve the muscle has recovered and is back to fully resisting you thus much of any further stretching action is wasted.
More detailed:
Tire the muscle using the position of the stretch to allow more specific stretching of the right muscles.
SPLITS (side)
In a left or right side split, the front leg is stretched on the underside of it, while the back leg is actually stretched mostly at the front of the hip joint and the thigh's top. So get in a split position and squeeze the front leg downward against the floor using the muscles in the back of it about to be stretched. Squeeze the back leg downward also. This uses the hip flexor (it's at the hip) which is the one that actually keeps you form reaching a split the most. This whole action is as if you're trying to close your two legs back together. Do this squeeze 16 seconds then relax for 12seconds in a split lower than you think you can go AND SITTING UP TALL.
SPLIT (straddle)
Sit on your bum facing a wall. Straddle as wide as possible pushing your crotch toward the wall (feet on wall) Squeeze against the wall as if your trying to close the legs back together. Use same squeeze relax stretch method described above.
Or, use same method as side split but your on your hands or elbows with legs in straddle splits and squeeze against the floor as if your trying to close the legs.
YEP IT IS PAINFUL. That is why most folk can't improve their spits. They are to wimpy to do it themselves. But that is normal. Body has a built in *Wimp System. IT HAS TOO. You just have to learn to use it to your advantage. That wimp system in the body is powerful. If you stress the Wimp System by not giving in to it, the Wimp System will then tell the body to make adjustments to relieve the stress being placed on it allowing it to once again be Wimpy. In this case it will tell the body to get more flexible so the split position being done no longer stresses the Wimp System.
Repeat this whole process 3x at least. (Tire out phase and stretch phase)
*Wimp system is complex and the name Wimp System is my own term for it. I also call it the human Lazy Side.
What should you do after practice when you are all tired?
You should make sure you do a slow cool down run first. This will start to relax your muscles. Make sure you stretch before and after practice.

Your 13 years old 6 foot how do you gain muscle mass?
Muscle mass naturally increases in men throughout their teen years and well into their 20s and 30s. Many competition body builders are actually at their peak in their mid-30s. Men's metabolisms tend to change in their mid-20s, and men put on much more weight (and muscle) at that time. In a sense, then, your best strategy is to be patient and allow your body to develop at its own, natural pace. You can encourage muscle mass development by eating a well-balanced diet that includes lean protein, but as a growing teenager it is not advisable to do any kind of special "diet"--and avoid drugs, steroids, and any supplements other than routine vitamins. Exercise plays an important role: try out for sports in school, and participate in a sport each season. Do some weight lifting as well.
well, you can gain muscle, but there is a teensy problem. Your body is not yet mature enough to have most of the hormones people need to fill out. however, if you are really set on your goal, exercise, exercise exercise! lunges, squats, push ups and crunches all done correctly will all really enhance your muscle build and tone. As far as meals go, eat regularly, no HUGE portions, but it takes quite a bit of energy to grow muscles. Also, lots of protein such as eggs, steak, and milk will all do the trick. stay away from protein like hot dogs and fast food burgers because they contain way more bod products fro you body than good, muscle enhancing products. Also, no fried food.
Can people with spinal injuries practice yoga?
Of course! One guy in Kiev (Ukraine) had his backbone fractured in many places when he was young, and he was only able to move his eyes and mouth. The doctors unanimously declared that such cases are incurable, and gave him a lifetime disability. The guy did not want to trust doctors. He started reading books on yoga, was doing various raja yoga practices, pranayamas, moved the pranas in the channels (synchronized with the breath), and did the urinotherapy (that's the main thing from Hatha Yoga that he could do!) - he drank urine. Ah, he changed his diet. In less than a year he was COMPLETELY cured. He became one of the most famous healers in Kiev. I last talked to him 17 years ago. He was very proud to show me his picture in a British magazine where he is shown climbing the Pamir Mountains. This man got a new hobby that shocked the people around: at weekends in a public park he started teaching children how to walk on fire. He mastered many other things. Another example. A few years ago Olexiy Kudryatsev, my Aikido instructor, the president of the Aikido Federation of Ukraine (see http://europe.aikido.free.fr/Ukraine.htm), was knocked down by a car in Moscow. The doctors said that Alex would never be able to walk again. I do not know what Alex did in the hospital, but within a couple of weeks he escaped from the hospital and was back in Kiev. Within a month he was conducting the Aikido training sessions, and within 4 months he was in almost perfect shape again. Control your prana and you will control your body.
Note: Before starting any physical exercise program, especially in the case of any injuries or bodily changes, please check with your doctor be sure you are healthy enough for that type of activity.
