What is the difference between a Cane and a Walking Stick?

A cane is meant to be leaned apon and assist to take weight off the legas as one walks. It will have a curved handle at the top or a "T" shape or one of several designs, but with the top able to support the weight of a person leaning against it palm down. A well fitting cane to be useful to the user is slightly longer than the distance between the ground and their palm with the arm hanging down at their side. A walking stick is much longer. Sometimes it can be as tall or taller than the user. It is a straight pole, usually round wood, or a long tappered branch. The walking stick is usefull for walking uneven terrain and is gripped toward the upper end with the hand higher than the elbow.

Did the ancient sages in India fly while doing meditation as shown in some media?

Like in any religion these phenomenon always seem to take place in the distant past or in the near future So common sense dictates that it would be highly unlikely.

First things first, Meditation is silencing BODY, MIND & INTELLECT.

Secondly, While meditating in the initial stages on Chakras, they release lot of trivial and major powers like Levitation, etc... Such things are natural & are documented in Maharishi Mahesh Yogi TM Classes.

Now about the Question,

Did the ancient sages in India fly while doing meditation as shown in some media? The answer is an emphatic NO. They did not fly while doing Meditation!!!

The Sages were beyond such small display of powers. Sages are Masters who work with and under the guidance of the Effulgent Eternal LIGHT (GOD)!

Sage Gheranda and Sage Patanjali have documented few techniques, which is being practiced across the world even today to fly as a mode of travel. But that again won't be during Meditations. Sage Mahavatar Babaji (Babaji Nagaraj), does fly in his Light Body to various locations across the world and across Galaxies along with his inner circle of disciples. In Tahiti in Soyuth Africa regions the Shaman and Tribal Yoginis use Tantrik methods and do fly. In the ancient land of Bharata varsha too many are equipped with siddhis, yet they do not use it everytime.

Few of the sane and safe techniques which needs to be practiced with diligent care and guidance under a trained master are 'Paduka Siddhi', 'Khechari Vidya', 'Divya Shareera Dharana Siddhi', 'Akasha Gamana Siddhi', etc...

Again these siddhis are acquired during Meditations as stated earlier and no sage ever Flies during Meditations! Yes they do release their Awareness and expand in the unknown realms to gain knowledge and energies for Loka Kalyana and they work for entire creation.

Does stretching after working out make your muscles grow bigger?

No, this will not help. It may be of benefit to reduce DOMS, but this is disputed. This is a great time to stretch, however, just to increase flexibility because your muscles are warmed up.

What exercises can slim tree trunk calves and thighs because the rest of the body is thin?

Muscular calves

Unfortunately this is largely genetic, I have bulky legs too, and I'm a size 4 US. Cardio doesn't help, neither does any exercise I can think of. I've stretched and stretched. Don't notice much difference either. There's surgery in Korea, it cuts out part of the muscles.

I noticed that people who've been immobilized usually experience reduction in muscle tissue. Maybe we can sit in a wheelchair for six months.

ANSWER:

Common reasons for large calves include:

  1. Genetic: You may have inherited your calves from your parents.
  2. Exercise: Inadvertently exercising in a way that increases the calf muscles.
  3. Gait: You may be overusing your calf muscles when walking.
  4. Fat Tissue: Rather than having large calf muscles, you may actually have a lot of fat around that area, making them look big and bulky.
To slim large calves:
  • Avoid walking on the ball of your foot, keep your heel down.
  • Running for longer distances can slim down calves.
  • Stretching can lengthen muscles and make them look leaner and longer.
  • Pilates can also help elongate legs.
  • Avoid exercises that will build muscle mass in the calves, such as the step machine or walking up steep hills/ high incline on the treadmill.

What are good ballet leg stretches for someone who can already do oversplits?

I am very sorry to tell you this. but I have got to admit that that is...... a pretty stupid question. If you can do the over splits to all sides you don't quite have to stretch anymore. Just keep on stretchin your oversplits and try and find a way to make stretches that you did before actually stretch you. Also, if you you have a "weak" flexibility point, just stretch that. Now if its just weaker but still pretty flexible, I already answered your question. Maybe that answer was a bit harsh. Well I'm sorry if it hurt your feelings.

What should you do if your overweight?

Boosting your metabolism! Drink 8 or more glasses of water each day to help get rid of water weight ( you will pee a lot at first but once your body get acclimated this will stop happening and your body will stop feeling the need to retain water). *Eat for two week, NO starches, NO sugars, and eat high fiber foods, like nuts, in small but frequent portions (eat a little about every four hours). Drink four cups of green tea every day through out the day. Consume a teaspoon of red chilies some how every day, (add chilies to various dishes). *When you eat a meal let most of it be some kind of dark colorful vegetable and also eat about a hand size proportion of protein with each meal (helps to build muscle which burns more fat). Exercise in 20 to 30 min spurts through out the day, aerobics is key for fat burning. Take a few days aside to lift weights. Exercise right after a meal (your metabolism gets higher right after eating so you end up burning more calories if you--say--take a long walk right after a meal). Taking long walks each day helps trim the waist line. Include good fats, like omega 3s, take a liquid form of B vitamins, take vitamin c through out the day, and take it in liquid form. Take calcium and vitamin D also. Include yoga in your exercise routine (it in creases the quality of your bodies blood flow, and increases the bodies oxygen intake which burns fat more efficiently). Breath deeply through out the day. To really increases weight loss (if you want to do this for a month instead of two weeks) after doing this for a month pig out and eat junk food for one day, still exercise on this day though--The next few day as you eat healthily again you'll notice extra pounds fly off, because the junk food load of that one day "shocks" the system, and kicks the metabolism up a hearty notch for a few days making your efforts on those following day more fruitful. I went from a pant size of 9s to 4s doing this.

How do you count your pulse to get an accurate heart rate count?

Heart rate is usually recorded in beats per minute. So find your pulse either in your wrist or your neck and count. If you don't want to count for the full minute, count for 15 seconds and multiply by 4.

Lactic acid and heat are the by-products of aerobic or anaerobic exercise?

Yes, both are. During exercise lactic acid is produced faster than the tissues ability to remove it resulting in an excess of lactic acid. This results in the "burn" felt in your muscles. The by-products of the metabolization of glucose are heat and lactic acid.

Where can you find a manual for the Power Rider?

Unfortunately, the Braun Company (who used to sell the Power Rider), has gone out of business. The good news is that the Power Rider is quite a bit like the Cardio Glide which is made by Weslo. You can find a manual on their website for around $2. Here is another opinion: Guthy-Renker manufactured Power Riders. Fran Tarkenton was the spokesperson for this product. They didn't go out of business. They just stopped manufacturing this piece of exercise equipment (they now are involved in other products such as ProActiv Solution and Daisy Fuentes' exercise system). To contact Guthy-Renker and see if they can get you a video: Guthy-Renker Corporate Headquarters 41-550 Eclectic Street Suite 200 Palm Desert, CA 92260 Phone: 760-773-9022 Fax: 760-773-9016 Or send an e-mail to: customerservice@guthy-renker.com And more input: * I think you'll find the manual to be pretty unhelpful I'm afraid. You really need to get a hold of the video that comes with the machine.

How much protein do you need if you weigh 136 lbs and exercise 1 hour daily to lose weight?

Losing weight is not just a matter of eating protein and exercising for an hour daily. Assuming that your goal is to reduce your percentage of body fat, you probably should not be exercising for 1 hour every day.

Try thinking of it this way: two-thirds of your efforts should go into proper nutrition and one-third of your efforts should go into exercise. It is not possible to make specific recommendations for you. You should consult your own physician before making any serious physical changes. It's not clear from your question which sex you are. Instead, here are some general guidelines.

You are correct that protein is important. The rule is to consume 1 gram of protein from natural sources for each pound of body weight. So you should be consuming about 135-140 grams of protein daily. Eat a meal every three or four waking hours, and spread that total protein consumption over those meals.

It is critical to minimize your intake of refined processed carbohydrates. Ideally, you should not eat any (apart from the ocassional treat). Consume a total of not more than 25 grams of carbs daily when trying to lose weight and get all that consumption from (preferably organic) fresh vegetables.

Drink plenty of clean water daily--several quarts. Do not worry about fat consumption. (By selecting natural sources of proteins, you'll be consuming "good" fats naturally.) Do not consume any fruits or fruit juices.

Adjust these recommendations according to your results. For example, when you reach your desired percentage of body fat, you may be able to each 1 or 2 servings of fruit daily.

These are some initial, general nutritional guidelines that will help. Here are some general exercise guidelines that will help:

Do not do mild cardio (such as brisk walking) at all.

Do brief, high intensity cardio two (or three) times weekly. Any standard format of high intensity interval training or Graded Exercise Protocal is fine. The total weekly training time on this should not exceed 30 minutes.

Do a whole-body strength training routine about every 4 days. Focus on the basic, multi-joint exercises, which are squats, deadlifts, presses, rows, dips, and chins. Use perfect exercise technique and train intensely. Each work out should not exceed 40 minutes and you should not do more than 2 each week. (The best book on proper technique is Stuart McRobert's BUILD MUSCLE LOSE FAT LOOK GREAT.) To ensure systemic recovery, wait at least 24 or 48 hours after all DOMS (delayed onset muscular soreness) has disappeared before doing another strength training workout.

Get plenty of sleep.

Drink plenty of clean water--at least 3 quarts daily.

If you follow these guidelines, you'll be spending a lot less time exercising while obtaining much better results. Do serious strength training to build muscle, because muscle is many times more metabolically active than fat. The brief cardio sessions will provide all the fitness exercise you need. The key, though, is proper nutrition. If you teach yourself how to eat properly and naturally, you'll be glad that you did for the rest of your life.

Does cardio exercise burn the fat off the inside of the arteries?

No. The deposits on the inside of arteries are actually mostly made up of white blood cells, particularly macrophages. It is not made up of fat cells whose purpose is to store and release energy. There is a connection between diet and atheromatous plaque, to be sure, but it's not so direct as the fat you eat getting stuck on the inside of your arteries. It has more to do with how LDL ("bad") cholesterol affects macrophages.
