Is it good to drink water during a cardio workout when trying to lose weight?

i would say it is not good to drink water during a cardio workout but if you just drink like 3 sips i say it would be ok but dont drink like half or more of the bottle because the water would probably come up to your throat which would not allow you to breath

What is the etymology of OK?

Many fanciful derivations for okay abound. Most likely, okay comes from the Gullah word okeh.

"Most likely"

No, not most likely. Possible - but rather unlikely.

Most likely is that it came from a common comical iteration of the incorrect spelling of 'all correct' - 'oll korrect' circa 1830-1840. Think of it as a very old school annoying text message shorthand - one that went viral in a big way in the first half of the 19th century and has now broken all language barriers hitching a ride on 'World English' to become the worlds most recognized word. How's that in laymen's ? OK ?

If you are running and weight training will this help you to shed pounds?

That combination can work but it's so hard on your bodythat, for many people, it is not sustainable.

Here is a better idea: do a whole-body intense strength training session twice weekly and use brisk walking for your cardio. If you do not have a treadmill, you can walk two miles in just under thirty minutes twice a day. Especially if you do one of your walks before breakfast, you will be walking for an hour daily and getting plenty of muscle-building strength training as well. That combination is the preferred one for natural bodybuilders and fitness models for a very good reason: it works.

How long should your heart rate stay elevated after workout?

It depends upon what "elevated" means as well as your level of conditioning. It is best to check with your physician in advance. As a rule, three minutes after your fitness exercises ends, you should be lower than 50% of your predicted maximum heart rate. Therefore, figure out your predicted maximum heart rate in advance (or just ask your physician) and check your pulse three minutes after the end of your training. If it is too high, your are training too strenuously, so reduce the intensity of your training and build up more slower to a greater degree of fitness.

How does endurance training improve athletes performance?

When you train yourself, or you have a trainer, the first thing they say is "lets get you back in shape".

Endurance can keep you going in any sport. You won't be tried or need much water. That's how athletes perform in such great way, they're in shape :)

No. So long as you're fit enough to handle it, you should be alright. Be sure to remain hydrated and if you're already at a good weight, be sure to replace most of the calories burned so you can continue to maintain such a high level of activity.

How can you read cardio graphs?

You need to specify what type of "cardio graphs" you mean. There are many types of heart tests including EKG or ECG, vector cardiographs, echocardiograms, and stress echocardiograms. They are all specialized medical tests and require an M.D. to legally interpret, but can be "read" by anyone capable of understanding them. The electrocardiogram is the easiest to interpret. One waveform representing one heartbeat is comprised of the P wave, The QRS, and the T wave. The PR interval represents the time interval between when the atria receive the signal (from the sino-atrial node) to beat, and the time when the ventricles receive the signal to beat. If this interval is too long, or outside the normal range, there is usually a heart block, referred to as an AV block. If the QRS is lengthened, that indicates another type of heart block of which there are 3 types (1st, 2nd, and 3rd degree block). The length of the ST interval and ST segmental depression are related to the transmission of the signal through the Perkinje fibers and the Perkinje network of the ventricles and are used in stress testing to determine heart damage or blockage of the coronary arteries. ST depression can also be used to determine if the patient is having a heart attack. This is just an elementary description of EKG interpretation and illustrates that the interpretation of these tests is quite complicated. There are many other factors that need to be considered such as history of heart attacks, electrolyte levels, age, risk factors, previous surgeries and lifestyle. Echocardiography is the observation of all 4 chambers and valves of the heart using realtime ultrasound imaging and involves Doppler and color-flow Doppler waveforms and flow velocities, including analysis of reguritant jets and valvular insufficiencies. Echo is used in conjunction with stress testing to analyze ventricular wall motion abnormalities indicating coronary artery blockage. This interpretation requires extensive experience and practice to interpret accurately. There are many textbooks in medical libraries that can be referenced to better understand the interpretation of EKGs and echocardiograms.

How many calories burn doing half hour abs class?

This is a tough one and I hear this asked from me very often. The thing about calories burned in the gym is very hard to define, since there are so many different kind of programs that you have. Programs with higher volume tend to burn more calories, since they put your body to do a lot more work than doing a few repetitions with very high weight. On the other hand, real strength programs that are developed to build pure mass for you is known for the fact that you don't really burn that many calories during the weight training, but your muscles take nearly two to three days to recover, which burns calories over time.

The median answer that I got from five different sources was that going to the gym burns 400-500 calories in an hour, which is 200-250 in half an hour. This of course isn't an exact value, but is fairly accurate.

What are the minimum levels of aerobic activity and resistance training recommended to improve and maintain health for adults?

The UK government recommendation on "minimum exercise levels" is 30 minutes five times per week, doing any form of exercise, for adults. (Children are expected to do higher levels).

But your question on "improving" health depends hugely on what the persons' current fitness level is, which is why it is not possible to give a general guideline on that basis. Similarly, "maintaining" the fitness of a person who is already extraordinarily fit will require far greater levels of activity than maintaining a person who is very unfit.

How can you prevent muscle burn?

quite simply an active cool down such as a slow jog
