How do creatine supplements affect blood pressure during weight training?

High Cholesterol A preliminary study suggests that creatine supplements may help lower levels of blood lipids (cholesterol) in men and women with abnormally high concentrations of lipids in their blood. Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) In a few studies of people with congestive heart failure, those who took creatine (in addition to standard medical care) had significant improvement in symptoms and exercise capacity compared to those who received placebo. A February 2002 study published in the journal Medicine and Science in Sports & Exerciseexamined 15 males and 15 females in a randomized, double-blind experiment that administered 20 grams of creatine per day for five days. There was no increase in blood pressure among the subjects receiving creatine. Considering the limited amount of clinical studies in this area, this single study should not be interpreted as conclusive.

After bleeding your front disc brakes 74 Spitfire the brakes work very well except they don't release The pads on both front wheels stay locked to the rotor What did you do wrong?

Answer

They won't move back very much. If you can spin the wheel, that's about all you'll get. If it still rubs or hangs up, you may need to clean and lube or possibly even replace the callipers.

My '89 Firebird front disk brakes won't release for about 15 seconds after applying brakes.

Replaced calipers with new, no change.
Replaced master cylinder with new, no change.
Next to try is the combination valve unit since this is where the two front lines connect.
Since this problem is affecting both front brakes I'm discounting a brake line problem.

Can you lose weight by skipping for exercise?

Yes you can!

I am living proof of this.

I lost 22 pounds in eight weeks without more than a 30 minute walk once a WEEK.

A suggestion by my doctor to reduce my daily sugar intake was all that was required.

It sounds easy, but giving up sugar is tricky, particularly in the first four weeks, but once you get through that period, it just gets easier and easier.

Again, there is no requirement for exercise for this to be very effective however, if you can exercise, you will experience even greater success, and more quickly

How can you lose knee fat without losing weight?

In general, the easiest way to lose knee fat is to reduce your total body fat; however, there are ways to specifically reduce fat in areas such as the knees (and other joins). Knee 'fat' may be largely due to fluid build up which can be a result of excess sodium. Make sure your diet doesn't have too much salt in it - many packaged food products contain a lot of salt these days - and drink plenty of water (aim for about 2L a day).

Another method would be doing leg only exercises, such as squats. I would suggest that you undertake a more wholesome exercise routine, however, for general health purposes. Also the more you build up muscle in any area of the body, the more calories your body will burn at rest, thus reducing fat.

Does riding a stationary bike help the knees?

If you keep the revs up and the load down, the knees really don't care much either way. But as for cycling helping the knees - I'd say that's only when it's replacing something else that was troubling the knees.

Why do you need exercise to reduce fatness?

Attempting to reduce fat through exercise alone is likely to be disappointing. Exercises mostly serve to tone the muscle underneath the fat. But if you want to slim down, the fat has to be burned off. For that, the main thing is to ditch the junk food and the sweetened drinks. Exercise alone might not be sufficient. Also, fat reduction cannot be specifically targeted to one region. The reduction in fat will not be quickly apparent because it will not be focused on only one spot on your body.

Here's a program for the period in which you want to lose weight: Plenty of moderate aerobic exercise, no sweetened liquids at all, and no junk food at all. Preferably no sugar, and as little added salt and processed foods as possible. Eat 3 not-large meals/day; do not skip breakfast; and avoid snacks. Limit your calories (better to consult a doctor or nutritionist concerning the amount), and weigh yourself 2-3 times/week. Ignore the sensation of hunger. If you see your weight diminishing at a safe, reasonable rate (1-2 pounds/week), keep it up.

Once you've reached your target weight, increase your calorie intake somewhat. And you can then have small amounts of sweetened foods or junk food on occasion (if at all), along with your regular foods (not instead of them). But keep checking your weight 2-3 times/week.

Avoid crash diets, diet pills etc. Avoid fatty cuts of meat. Walk as much as possible. Bicycling and swimming are good too.

More guidelines:

Don't concentrate on specific foods so much as on a balanced, healthy diet plus exercise. Plenty of moderate exercise rather than intense exercise, which can damage your joints.

Good nutrition means eating what your body needs, while ingesting as few harmful things as possible. It has also been described as getting enough of each of the major food categories (grains, fruits, vegetables, protein, dairy, etc.; plus plenty of water).

This will vary somewhat from one person to another; and I don't believe that there's any universal diet that can be prescribed for everyone. Avoid best-sellers with their perennial fad diets. And think twice before using any dietary supplements or weight-loss pills.

In general, one's starting point can be a menu of whole grains, whole-wheat bread, a good amount of vegetables, some fruits and nuts, fish, lean meats (in not-large amounts), and some dairy. However, this must be tweaked according to one's health, weight and other factors at the outset; and also adjusted over time, as one sees what works for him/her in particular.

How many calories are burned squatting 315 pounds for 10 reps?

Given:

315 pounds = 143 kg

Your own bodyweight = 85 kg

You are squating down 0.5 m (1.5 feet)

Total weigth = 143 + 85kg = 228kg

Potential energy (1 rep) = U = m*g*h = 228 * 9.8 * 0.5 = 1117 Joules

Potential energy 10 reps = 10 * 1117 = 11170 Joules

11170 Joules = 2.7 Calories (kcal)

So, if your body opperates at 100% efficiency, you burn 2.7 Calories (kcal).

In practice you would need 20 ~ 25 Calories, depending the temperature of the room you are in, etc.
