A physical exercise. you jump up and and have your legs sticking up to the sides and touch your toe a toe touch is a move in cheerleading when you jump in the air and you spread your legs A toe touch is a type of jump frequently used in cheerleading. To properly do a toe touch, you must jump, throw your legs up and to the side, and reach for your toes with your hands. DO NOT LEAN FORWARD! Leaning forward is not a toe touch. You back must be straight. The toe touch, is the most popular move in cheerleading. As many people join cheerleading, that is the first thing they learn. You have to be kind of flexible to do because if you jump up in the air and spread your legs to far you might pull a muscle. So fnow I'm going to tell you how you do a toe touch step bye step. 1. you jump up in the air 2. in the process of you in the air you spread your legs & touch your toes 3. the right hand touches the right foot, & the left hand touches the left foot you actually don't touch your toes; just so you know. you just reach for them. and, if you want to know the truth .. it's not called "spreading your legs", it's called straddling. spreading your legs sounds so disgusting. a toe touch is when someone jumps in the air and does a straddle. ( This is pretty much just doing the spilts in th air) Hope that helps!!!

How many revolutions on a nordic track elliptical is a mile?
Well, it depends on the radius of your steps...each machine is different. Try this, at least to get a good estimate (NOT AN EXACT ANSWER): Find a way to measure the length of the stride. (aka how far your foot moves from when it's the farthest back to the farthest forward....this would be the diameter of the circle you make with one foot) Let's say it was 20 inches (that's what mine was) Now you need to figure out the circumference.... (diameter X pie) In our example 20 X 3.14= 62.8 inches This is (about) how many inches you would travel per step There are about 63360 inches in a mile, so to complete our equation: 63,360 divided by 62.8 = 1008.9 Remember, this is an estimate for an machine with a 20 inch diameter: every 1008.9 steps equals a mile. NOTE: if you're reading the number off the machine, take note of what it is referring to as a "step" This equation is based on right foot=step one, left foot=step two.....right foot=step three....left foot=step four....etc (some machines consider one full revolution to be one right foot AND one left foot....in which case, just divide by two)

What is a good weight lifting kit for teens?
if by kit you mean routine, a good routine would be any that targets all the major muscle groups of your body, the "push" muscles used in a bench press (pecs, triceps, deltoids ie shoulders), the "pull" muscles used in a lateral pull down or a pull up (lats ie back, biceps, traps), and the major leg muscles used in a squat or lung (quads, gluts, hamstrings). so you would focus your weight lifting routine around exercises that target these groups as a whole, then proceed to do auxiliary exercises that isolate the muscles working them out separately.
Push muscle group exercises
-bench press
-incline bench press
-decline bench press
-dumbbell presses
Pull muscle group exercises
-lat pull down/ pull-ups (various grips)
-seated rows
Leg muscle group exercises
-Squats
-lungs
-leg press
Auxiliary Exercises by muscle
Pecs
-dumbbell flies
Biceps
-Regular dumbbell curls
-Preacher curls
-Hammer curls
Triceps
-Tricep extensions
-Tricep kick backs
-Skull crushers
Shoulders
-military presses
-lateral raises
-front raises
Traps
-shrugs
-upright rows
Calves
-Calf raises
Hamstrings
-Leg curls
Quads
-Leg extensions
When doing these exercises its good to split up the muscle groups so that you don't workout the same muscle two days in a row, because generally its healthier to allow a 48 hour rest to prevent injury and promote strength gain. So to do this generally a weight lifter will split up the muscle groups he works out each day. the schedule i use breaks it up so that i work out my push and pull muscle groups on one day then my shoulders and legs the next.
But remember the most important thing when weight lifting is not how much weight you lift or how many times, because if you don;t use proper technique you are not going to see good results in the amount of strength gained and you will probably injury yourself.
When you first begin to try to lose weight should you weight train and diet?
If you want to lose weight the natural way by exercising, then I give you a thumbs up! :)
Before you do though, you should let your body adapt to the new lifestyle. For example, if you are thinking of having like a "gym" or "workout schedule", you should begin by jogging and doing a LITTLE of different EASY exercises (push-ups, sit-ups, etc).
Once you body adjusts you can be on your way into fitting into that nice dress you have hanging in your closet. As for a diet, the same thing. Little by little start changing your ways of eating. You don't want your body to refuse new foods.
If you would like better advice and a personal weight loss plan, see your doctor or GP.

Why does transcendental meditation have to be taught by a teacher?
When a person learns the Transcendental Meditation (TM) technique they are instructed by a certified TM teacher and they get lots of personal, one on one, attention. This is really valuable because everyone is different and learns at their own pace. An experienced TM teacher can guide you through every step and assure that you learn the technique correctly and gain all of the benefit.
Many people wonder: why can't I learn Transcendental Meditation from a book or a CD? Well imagine trying to learn a golf swing from just a verbal description in a book or on a recording. It just doesn't work. In fact you could develop bad habits that would hurt your golf game and be difficult to correct later. But a one on one session with a golf pro, well now you're learning! A teacher gives you feedback at each step so you can correct yourself and maximize the learning process. At the same time getting feedback when you practice correctly also helps you to grow in confidence and then meditate successfully on your own at home.
The TM technique is unique among the many forms of meditation available today. It's natural, effortless and anyone can learn. It does not involve any kind of concentration, lifestyle or belief. But it is a delicate process so learning from a TM teacher is crucial. It's a lot easier than playing the guitar or perfecting your golf swing, but at the same time requires that same kind of personalized guidance.
Transcendental Meditation (www.tm.org) differs from other meditation methods in that it teaches the mind to move beyond thinking to the source of thought, pure consciousness. To learn the Transcendental Mediation technique, I suggest you contact your local TM center (or call 888-LEARN-TM) and speak to a certified meditation instructor. Learn about the seven-step, 10-12 hours of training you get during the TM course and the careful personalized instruction you receive. Learn about the one-on-one follow-up-a lifetime of personal guidance, as needed-and the optional, ongoing advanced classes and group meditations at TM centers. Maharishi created a wealth of knowledge and clarification to ensure that your understanding can grow as your experience deepens. All of this follow-up is available to you for the rest of your life when you learn the TM technique-at no further charge after you've completed the initial seven-step course. And learn about the gift of scholarships and grants for people in financial need, to help pay for such comprehensive training. There is significant financial help available so that everyone who wants to can learn The Transcendental Meditation Technique.
Maharishi, the founder of the TM program, spent over 50 years elucidating the principles behind the Transcendental Meditation technique, always emphasizing the need for personal, one-on-one instruction:
"By necessity, the practice of Transcendental Meditation is imparted by personal instruction. It cannot be done through a book [or CD or online training] because it not only involves telling an aspirant how to experience the subtle states of thinking, but an even greater responsibility lies in finding out what the aspirant experiences when he proceeds on that path… The experiences on the path of Transcendental Meditation are very subtle… It takes a while for the beginner to be able to pinpoint his experiences of the subtle state of thought. The practice of Transcendental Meditation must always be given by the expert teachers of Transcendental Meditation who have been properly trained to give it and who have been trained to check the experiences.
"The checking of experiences is a vital point in the practice of Transcendental Meditation. Again, it cannot be done through books…by nature it is delicate and therefore highly technical. But under personal instruction and guidance the way is smooth and easy." [Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, The Science of Being and Art of Living (New York: Plume/Penguine Group, 1963/2001), p. 35-36]
It is important to note that there are alternatives to Transcendental Meditation for those who cannot afford it or believe it is religious. An example is NSR Meditation (www.nsrusa.org), which is different from TM and can indeed be learned successfully by anyone from a manual. TM and NSR are taught by two different but nonprofit organizations.

How do you meditate describe the procedure?
There are many different meditation techniques, but all of them have one thing in common: they all cause you to become more self-aware, more watchful of your thoughts, feelings and physical sensations.
Some techniques are still: for example, you sit and watch your breath. Others are active, asking you to move, dance, make sounds, etc.
Perhaps the best thing to do is look around at different techniques and find one which "feels right." Then go ahead and try it for a few weeks.

If you mean "Is the Cortez shoe a running type shoe", yes it is. On the other hand, (or foot) it is a lot thinner than most traditional running shoes. In the Cortez, if your knees start hurting, the most likely reason is that you are running on your heel. The Cortez is made for being just a little protective piece of whatever it's made of to keep your foot free from harm. In other words, the Cortez is pretty much made for barefoot runners who want some protection for their feet from little rocks and pieces of glass.
