Sorry, I couldn't find out an exact time frame that the Typhoons were made. But, if you own one (or most any kind of bike, for that matter...)and are looking to identify what year your bike is from go to this website:

Do you gain weight if you eat banana and drink milk before bed time?

While no two foods can guarantee weight gain, eating before bed can add extra calories to your diet and cause indigestion. That said, bananas aren't a bad choice--they're not especially high in calories, though they do contain a lot of sugar, which could make you restless. Milk can contain high levels of fat and calories, and thus might not be ideal for someone seeking to lose weight.

What does the cardio respiration center do?

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)

The p in an electrocardiogram sHow is what?

The P wave is the first wave in an ECG complex, and it results from the atria depolarizing. It may not be present in arrhythmias where the atria do not necessarily depolarize, such as junctional or ventricular escape rhythms, and at times when the atria are depolarizing abnormally this will be reflected in the P wave's replacement by abnormal waves, such as the low-amplitude "squiggle" seen in atrial fibrillation, or the "sawtooth" pattern seen in atrial flutter.

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

Why does your skin itch when you start to heat up?

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.

Is it important to have a large motor in a treadmill designed for frequent use?
