How is exercise oxygen debt repaid?

During the period of resting, the breathing rate continues to be fast for a while. This provide sufficient oxygen to repay back the oxygen debt.

In the liver, some of the lactic acid is oxidized to produce energy. This energy is used up to convert the lactic acid back to glucose. Lactic acid is toxic and cannot be stored or kept in our body for too long. When lactic acid is used up, oxygen debt is being paid.

What is the value of learning Transcendental Meditation from a certified teacher?

The Transcendental Meditation technique is taught in personalized, one on one instruction by a certified teacher. The teaching of the technique was developed by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi who introduced it worldwide in 1957. Although the technique itself is centuries old, Maharishi cleared away the cultural aspects that had become attached over time, so that the technique could be easily accessed and enjoyed by anyone. Every trained teacher teaches this technique exactly as Maharishi designed it to be taught. Unless one learns from a certified teacher, no one has a guarantee that what is being learned is the TM technique, and no guarantee that this subtle, but effective technique is being taught or learned properly.

To ensure that the innate effortless, and natural aspects of the technique are being taught and practiced correctly, the teacher not only teaches the technique, but follows that up with personalized verification of the practice to make sure every new learner receives maximum benefits. As well, one has access to lifetime benefits at any TM center in the US., at no cost. This kind of personal attention, and verification can't be given or learned from a book or CD.

Just as a skilled, and highly trained eye doctor is probably the best person to treat the eyes, the certified, experienced teacher is the best person to teach this meditation technique. This ensures that what is being learned is actually the TM technique with its over 350 peer-reviewed studies showing benefits, and is being practiced correctly even over time.

How many reps of stair climbing should you start out doing in your home?

I'm starting to do that since my tennis season is over. My stairs have 13 steps, and the hypotenus is about 1 foot for each of them. I do 3 reps of 15, (down is 1, and up is 1 also) and it works me out pretty good. I'm starting to do that since my tennis season is over.

Do exercise bikes distort growth?

Not for any reasonable amount of use.

But a combination of things, like poor bike adjustment, riding at a high resistance, long sessions, no stretching, no warm-up etc. can cause you to get hurt.

How many push ups does it take to get buff at the age of 12?

I'm now 14 and I've been working out since I was 12. I would say I'm pretty buff, as I have a six pack big and can do 100 push ups without stopping. Anyway, getting buff takes a lot of hard work, and isn't going to happen overnight. If you are in relatively good shape now and you work out every other night with normal body weight exercises such as push ups, pull ups, crunches, sit ups, and planks, it will take you about 5 months to get buff. In terms of push ups, you'll be buff when you can do about 70 push ups in a row. You should be able to do at least 30 in a row now. Every time you do push ups, after you have done as many as you did the night before, force your self to do another couple. Some people say working out early stunts your growth, but I doubt if that is true, because I am as tall as my dad. Make sure to consume protein after every work out, because it is your body needs it to build muscle fibers.

Does drinking coffee and lifting weights affect your growth?

Drinking Coffee: No. Urban legend, my friend. Caffeine may not be the best thing to be pumping into your body, but it does NOT effect your growth. Caffeine mimics hormones that are released from the adrenal gland. If caffeine mimicked somatotropin, a hormone which is responsible for growth, that would be different. But it doesn't. So no worries.

Lifting weights: Err, indirectly, weight lifting can affect your growth, but ONLY in a good way! Lifting weights not only strengthens your muscles, it also strengthens your bones by increasing bone density. I wish more young teenagers would weight train. It helps prevent osteoporosis later in life; especially in women.

Where to buy whey protein?

The way to get it the least expensive is to buy in bulk - 10 pounds or more at a time is your best bet, and order less often.

Is swimming laps such as the backstroke breaststroke and butterfly stroke a good fat burner?

No matter what stroke you do, you will be getting great exercise, but it's important to vary your workouts and to challenge yourself - avoid sticking to slow lap swimming, or you wont burn much at all!. Try to swim 3-4+ times a week and eat enough carbohydrates to fuel your muscles (e.g. pancakes for brekky, a sandwich for lunch and pasta for dinner).

Try and swim 1-3km per session.

Also, the more you move your body and work hard, the more you will burn. However, it is important to keep good technique with each of your strokes.

Will the way that you perform crunches make your stomach larger?

You need to hold your stomach in when doing crunches. If you push your stomach out the muscle will shape that way.

How long should you use a rowing machine each session to see quick results if someone wants to lose 2 stone when they are 13 stone?

First you should make sure it is healthy for someone of your sex, height, and body type to lose that much weight. If you are currently overweight and can safely lose 28 lbs, then this is feasible and will likely take between 4 and 6 months.

First you'll need to assess how many calories you burn during an interval of exercise on a rowing machine. Most machines will tell you how many calories you've burned during a session. One pound of fat is about 3,500 calories. If you burn 100 calories in 10 minutes of rowing, and you row for 350 minutes a week, then you'll lose 1 pound a week just from rowing.

Does lifting weights mess up your jumpshot?

No i dont think so but if you gain too much muscle mass you're flexibility might be alot less than before. You should try gaining lean muscle, which results from less heavy weights and more repetitions.

What are some possible reasons for the headlights to be dim looking but get brighter when you rev the engine of an 83 Silverado?

It's most likely that your alternator is bad. Most auto parts stores will check them for free, or you can have your local garage test it. A bad ground probably is not the source of your problem, since the brightness varies with engine RPM. Add a ground strap between the engine and the firewall ans go to bare metal. Most problems like yours are due to bad grounds. Older vehicles had good grounds but sometimes people remove them because they don't think they are important and also as the car gets older, these grounds corrode. check your battery and your charging system. a weak battery/alternator can cause those symptoms.

Can I eat an apple before a cardio workout?

yes, why the hell not? apple is a healthy food, it would depend on how soon before i guess, any less than 15 mins and you might cramp up, other than that, no prob

Is it OK to work out one day and play sports the next day. Does it affect your muscle building progress or do you need to take complete rest the next day after a workout session?

The answer depends on the nature of your workouts and your sports. If your sport is intense on a particular muscle group, such as soccer, then you should rest that muscle group, such as your legs, the day before. If you work your arms, hips and chest heavily the day before the big golf tournament, you probably won't hurt yourself, but your game might suffer.

Muscular strength, size, and definition are achieved by basically telling your muscles, through artificial example, that you need this size, strength, and definition to accomplish the tasks in your daily life. From the perspective of our muscles, their job is to make sure that we can move and lift what we need to (that's why if you don't use your muscles much, they can get smaller).

Muscles can be overworked by exhausting them, injuring them (that moderate sore feeling you get later), and pushing them beyond their limits. Once they get to that point, they need to rest. The more they've been pushed, the more badly they need the rest in order to heal and recover. Playing an athletic or intense sport the day after an intense workout might not be a good idea in many cases, but might be okay if different muscle groups are involved.

What is perceived exertion?

Perceived Exertion is a scale used to describe the difficulty or physical effort involved in certain activities. Given the practical difficulties in monitoring heart rate, perceived exertion provides a scale for people on the street to use to gauge the intensity of their exercise. For example, the suggested intensity for aerobic exercise allows you to maintain a conversation, but not sing a song. This is easy to use without equipment, and is a fair measure of respiratory activity.

Does building muscle depend on you body type?

No. Classically, there are three body types: ectomorph, mesomorph, and endomorph. Most people are a combination of two types (for example, endo-mesomorph or ecto-mesomorph). Some bodybuilders such as Arnold Schwarzenegger believe that the kind of training one does should be designed according to one's body type. Even if that is true, however, it does not follow that building muscle depends upon your body type. On the other hand, in general, some people find it relatively easy to increase the size and strength of their muscles and some do not. The key is not to worry about other people but to concentrate on training intensely so that you maximize your own potential. Regardless of your body type or genetics, you have the ability to decrease body fat, to increase the size of your muscles, and to become stronger. ----

What are the two kinds of exercise?

Well I am not entirely sure what you mean here, because there are several different kinds of exercise. The only specific two that I can think of would be stretching and conditioning. I am not sure if this answers your question but I need a little bit more detail if it doesn't.

How to apply Moist heat to strain?

To apply moist heat to a strain, you can fill a hot water bottle and place a damp towel around the bottle. The towel will pick up the heat from the water bottle and you can rest both on your strain.
