What do football players do for cardio?

Mostly running. There are many sprint and agility drills that a college or pro football players do (ex: L-test, Pro Agility, Plyometrics), but those are used mostly for quickness and explosiveness. The game of football is a long and strength intensive game. A good football player needs to get air in his lungs to remain competitive throughout a game as well as keep stamina. Long distance running is a great way train for this (1 mile, 2 mile). An elliptical machine is used quite often, but it does not simulate the contact that the legs will make with the ground and the effect it will have on the knees and ankles. Lifting activities can also be done to increase stamina, and most great weight lifting programs include them. If your looking for a program like this, make sure the program includes at least one stage that involves a lower weight and a higher amount of reps.

But in the end, long distance running is the king for cardio, but most be done supplementary to all other training. Just doing cardio is not an option for a GOOD football player.

Are peanuts fattening?

In a nutshell, peanuts make for an extremely healthy food item and its inclusion in our daily diet helps provide several necessary minerals such as copper, selenium, zinc, magnesium and iron. Peanuts are by far the best source of plant protein, in their roasted or raw form.

Peanuts contain a very small percentage of saturated fats. The presence of saturated fats is usually what causes issues of obesity and weight gain. The fats present in peanuts are "necessary" fats that aid in proper functioning of the body.

What is a good exercise routine for someone who really wants to lose weight?

Exercise alone isn't the best way to lose weight, thought it is a good part of it. Diet, exercise, patience, and willpower all tie in to a successful weight loss. As far as exercise goes, a good beginner one to start with is walking. Biking and swimming are also great options. These are low impact, fun, and work then entire body even though you don't realize it. Remember that a pound of muscle is much smaller than a pound of fat, and extra muscles burn extra calories. Get active in a manner of your choosing, something you can stick with, and good luck!

What are good cardio vascular exercises for an above left knee amputee?

I would suggest swimming as it would probably be the easiest for you. You can get an all over workout including your half leg. But other suggestions are a rowing machine (or actual rowing!) and a stationary exercise bike. These can be done using one leg and the rowing will help your arms which as an amputee you need. You can also get exercise bikes that the handles move on - this will help your arms. But any exercise that gets your heart rate going will be good. Try to find some time for weights as well.

What are the resistance levels of the total gym XL?

By downloading the Total Gym PowerGlide owners manual, which has a chart in it, and by using the numbers in the website http://www.statisticool.com/totalgymmath.htm, I extrapolated the numbers for the XL and XLS to be, 6.5, 10.2, 14.0, 19.2, 21.8 and 25.9 degrees. Using the chart in the manual you can determine the % times your weight or just use the chart. Then you can either divide by 1, 2, 3, or 4, depending on the configuration of your setup. I don't know why this is such a big secret to TotalGym. I would think they would want people to know what weight they are using.
