The short answer is, no. Crash diets will cause you to lose large amounts of weight in the short term. Much of the weight you lose will be water and muscle. But here's how the typical cycle goes: crash diet while exercising, lose lots of weight. Then, in a couple of months, you get tired of starving yourself and you start eating again, and often stop exercising because you have no energy. Meanwhile, because you have starved yourself, your metabolism is drastically reduced and your body is primed to store all the fat you eat. Resumed eating, combined with a lowered metabolism and no exercise leads to weight gain. Often you gain more than you lost, meaning you could lose 20 pounds in a month and regain 40 by next swimsuit season. Not where you want to be next spring! Here is a better, longer lasting solution. Reduce your calorie intake by 500 calories a day, but don't drop below 1500 total calories. Read your food labels and be honest and accurate about everything you put in your mouth that has calories. Start with cutting liquid calories such as pop and beer, and replace it with water. Add exercise that will burn 500 calories, and you will create a 1000 daily calorie deficit. This will add up to about 2 pounds of fat loss per week. Any more than that, and your probably dropping water and muscle. Make sure strength training is part of your regimen; that will do wonders for your metabolism. Consider investing some money in a reputable personal trainer. By keeping up this routine, you will be in even better shape when next spring rolls around. Good luck!
Do your muscles need a break from weight lifting in order to grow?
It does in some cases,
Say your benching one day. Your maxing out and your sore, you want to take a day break, so maybe work out your legs or core.
If your doing a "Minor" exercise, like: upright rows, push ups, or pull ups it doesnt take in effect that much.
Microbes that require oxygen for their metabolic processes.
What is the bio-mechanics in aerobic exercise?
As you work out, your body needs more energy. It takes more oxygen and nutrients from your blood, so your blood must move more to continue to supply your body with the resources it needs. This means your heart needs to pump harder, and just like when you lift weights your arm muscles get stronger, when your heart pumps harder its muscles get stronger. So people who have good cardio fitness have a heart that is very strong and can easily pump a lot of blood when you need it.
Do you have to be fit to be a personal trainer?
Of course yes. If you yourself are not fit, how would people come to you for fitness advise and training?
What is the best kayak for a fat person 5'9 and 265 lbs.?
I won't suggest one kayak company over another because there are several good ones out there. I would suggest that you go to some major outdoor stores; ie Gander Mountain, Bass Pro Shops, Cabellas, L.L. Bean, etc.. That way you could look at some and compare just like you would anything else. Kayaks are rated for weight and taylored to what your needs are. Recreational, touring, rapids. I weigh @275 and am 6'2". I not only need one for my weight but my length also. Talk to some people face to face. They will be glad to help you. I would also suggest that you take a kayak safety class at a local YMCA or Community College. They are fun and well worth it. If you have no luck with a kayak then I would suggest a canoe. There are some canoes that have a wide flat bottom (like me) and are very stable. I like to canoe because I can tote more gear with me and fish easier from it. Have fun. Wear a life jacket.

By eating salad all day for three days can you lose pounds?
Any reduction in calories can result in weight loss. However, eating only salad could cause a nutritional imbalance. Any weight loss caused by fad diets or extremes in food consumption are short lived, jeopardize health, and any pounds that were loss using this method will be erased. The best plan is to eat a well balanced menu, and incorporate exercise in the effort.

How many calories have you burned if your bike says 67 kcals?
To be precise, that's 67 kilo-Calories, with kilo being the prefix for thousand - so 67 000 calories.
But since one calorie is such a tiny, tiny amount, and kilo-calories quite a mouthful to pronounce(and kCal is even worse), it's generally agreed in nutrition to drop the kilo and only say calories when talking about kCal used or eaten.
