How many hours to Walk Around the world?

Well, if there were a straight road all around the equator, and you walked 8 hours a day, 5 kilometers an hour (i.e., 40 kilometers a day), it would take you a thousand days (almost three years) to go around. However, please note that there really is no such straight road; there isn't even a not-so-straight road which you could walk in a much longer time. Parts of the trip could only be done by ship.

If you 14 and about 5'6 dad 5'8 mom 5'5 how tall will you get?

If you are male, you would be more likely to reach a height closer to your father's than to your mother's, and the reverse if you are female. However, genetics does not guarantee a given height : this is based partly on your health and your environment growing up. So you could be shorter or taller than either parent.

If you work a manual labor job is that enough exercise or do you still need to go to the gym?

This is very much dependant on what the actually job is, most likely it would still be beneficial to go to the gym as there are few jobs that give as much of a work out on all areas as you can et at the gym.

What are some workouts with the bender ball?

The bender ball has a lot of work outs. I own the DVDs, so I can let you know what some of them are. They have many DVDs for different work outs.

One DVD is just for Pilates workouts. It says on the back of the DVD box, that the work out is "a combination of balance and Leslee Bender's method of Selective Stabilization." Actually, there are 2 Pilates DVDs. I haven't done Pilates Revolution yet.

There is another DVD that includes 2 workouts: Core Training and Buns & Thighs. I haven't looked at that one yet.

There is one that is just to improve your tushie area -- the Better Booty Boot Camp. It is to help tone that area. That one stars with a warm up and then gets harder and it also uses her Selective Stabilization.

There are even a few more to cover your total body workout. They all use the bender ball in different ways. Copyright forbids anyone from actually describing how to do the exercises, and I don't want to be held accountable if you do them wrong.

You can order the DVDs yourself at www.benderball.com, and there is a little piece of the video on their site.

What happens to the skeleton during exercise?

The short term effect of exercise on the skeletal system are the synovial fluid gets warmer and becomes thinner which enables more movement to take place and you will become less likely to injure yourself which would also improve performance. Exercise also improves your bones and helps your body to produce more mineral salts and more collagenous fibres.

How do you get rid of belly pudge?

Weight loss doesn't work across the board. You have to engage the area where you want to lose the weight. Focus on your core, and cut back on fat and empty calories.

Do you have to be skinny to have a six pack?

You need to have a fairly low percentage body fat. "Six pack" refers to the muscles of your abdomen, which need to be developed somewhat in order to see them. But you also need to have very little fat in that area, which can be very difficult for some people depending on where they tend to carry their fat.

Should you weight lift every day?

It depends on what you want to accomplish, or rather what your goal is.

If your goal is body building or power lifting or weight lifting then the answer is YES

If your goal is only fitness or weight loss then the answer is NO.

Why is your heart rate 44-48 at age 43 and not athletic?

probably an arrhythmia... maybe a dangerous one.... if it drops under 40 goto the hospital if its under 60 goto the Dr.

When exercising what should your heart rate be 39 year old to lose weight?

Weight loss heart rate ranges are between 60-80% of your max heart rate. Your max HR is 181 (Calculated as 220 minus your age). So, you want to perform cardio work for at least 40 minutes with your HR kept between 108 and 144 BPM.


However, weight is completely controlled by how much you eat. Exercise helps because it increases your metabolism, which makes your body burn your food for energy instead of store it as fat.

What is the plane of motion for a Romanian deadlift?

The Romanian deadlift takes place in the sagittalplane, as do all movements that occur "front to back." While moving in the sagittal plane it takes place around the frontal axis (coronal axis). Many people mix up the anatomical planes with the anatomical axes, so you may hear that the deadlift and its derivatives is a frontal plane movment, but this is incorrect, as frontal plane movements are "side to side" movements such as adduction/abduction (or a side lunge or shuffle).

Do you need to take protein shakes if you dont workout?

Protein Shakes are rich sources of protein and proteins are an extremely important ingredient of any person's diet.

The answer is Yes you can take protein shakes even if you do not workout but if you don't workout do not consume too much protein. Limit the intake of protein shakes to maybe one or two scoops per day. It is not mandatory that you need to take protein shakes. You can get sufficient protein by following a healthy diet.

Psychologically what is the difference or benefits of exercising as part of a class as opposed to training alone?

In general, people will work harder when there are other people doing the same thing next to them. And with an instructor giving you every move. If you do it on your own, you are more likely not to work as hard or do as many reps. It's just the way most people are. A class also give you moves you may not know how to do properly or at all. You will get benefits from both class work outs and on your own work outs.

Similar benefits can be achieved through working alone with a DVD as when working with a live group in a Gym or other setting. The DVD option combines some of the benefits of each of the other options. For one, it allows the exerciser to be in charge of which work out will be done, and when, on any particular day as is the case when working completely alone doing one's own routine or regimen.

While giving the exerciser increased control, DVD options also bring the enthusiasm and encouragement that come from having a leader, as well as instructions on proper technique that come from a class teacher. Those DVDs which include a group along with the instructor would bring the motivation that comes from working out with others, similar to a live class, albeit without the real-time interactions which would likely occur in a live class.

Answer

exercising with a group such as in a cardio class of some sort you have some added benifits. you can learn new and proper techniques from others that have more experience. you will tend to work harder with someone giving direction. if a group is doing 20 push ups you will probobly try to do the whole 20. if by your self you might only do 10 if you start to get tired,

and depending on where you work out and with who, you are more likely to continue coming back long term with others encouraging you.

now if you are serious about your work out you will probobly want to work out alone because you know what you are doing and what your body needs. Lifting weights with a partner is safer and you can push a little harder knowing someone is there to back you up if you cant get it up. lifting with a partner you will defidently have serious encouragement and will work much harder than you would alone.
