Is rowing equipment good for osteoporosis?

Perhaps, but the main reason for osteoporosis is lack of calcium and the inability to absorb it and the fact that it isn't the diet. Any exercise where the muscles pull on the bones will result in more bone in that spot. But again calcium has to be there as the body can't rebuild bone without it.

Is yoga good for an extruded disk sciatica?

According to Chinese medicine, sciatica is typically caused by Qi and Blood stagnation along the Gallbladder or Bladder meridians. Other systems of medicine have different explanations for the pain, but TCM is very effective in relieving sciatica by relieving the Qi stagnation through many techniques including acupuncture, herbs, and tui-na medical massage.

Yoga is considered an energetic exercise method that maintains the free flow of Qi throughout the body, and with regular practice would likely clear up sciatica. Qigong exercises like Tai Qi might also be beneficial.

How tight of a degree should your knee be when lifting weights?

Normally when doing strength training, legs should be straight but not locked. When doing squats, lower yourself just below where the tops of your thighs are parallel to the floor and then raise yourself. (Never bounce at the bottom.) Also, keep your knees behind an imaginary line drawn straight up from the front of your toes. To do that, sit back when you are beginning to go down almost as if you were going to sit in a chair. Keep a similar position when doing leg presses.

Which burns more fat- aerobic or muscle exercise?

No!

Strength training and weight training also burn fat, although not as much as aerobic. A good exercise program will incorporate all and not just depend on aerobic.

Also, eating a good balance of macronutrients helps your body to get out of "famine" mode (its need to store fat) and allows it to better burn fat. The 1-2-3 ratio is good--1 part fat, 2 parts protein, 3 parts carbohydrates, 5-6 smaller meals daily.

Incidentally, you need carbohydrates to help protein synthesis--and by carbs, I mean good quality complex carbohydrates!

How long does it take to walk half a mile?

depends on how much effort you put into it and if you have any physical disabilities that slow you down.

The Army soldier's marching pace is 3.5mph (while carrying a load and calling cadence out loud)

so if you're able to maintain that pace,

you would finish a half mile in 8:32

If you can only maintain 3mph (20min/mile)

then it would take you:

10:00 min to walk a half mile

At 2.5mph (24min/mile):

12:00 min to walk a half mile

at 2.0mph (30min/mile):

15:00 min to walk a half mile

any slower than that and I would have to surmise that you have a physical disability, but the math is easy, (rem 60min/hour)

How much fat can you burn riding a bike for 3 miles?

Not a lot really.

Let's say you're doing 9 MPH, which should be real easy if you're staying on a decent road. That'll mean that you're done in 20 minutes, tops. And at that level of effort, you're maybeable to use up 450 cals/hour, which would put your burn at 150 calories or something like that.

It's about 1/3 of a cupcake's worth of calories.

Should inmates be allowed to lift weights in prison?

no i think that they should be doing constructive activities like learning a trade or taking classes or even doing crafts instead of working out and building more muscles to make them even more dangerous than they allready are

How can a weightlifter train for a half marathon and not lose muscle mass or strength?
