Cardio exercise without losing weight?

Is it possible to do cardiovascular excercise without losing weight? Sure, if you replace the calories you burn during exercise (along with the additional calories burned as your body recovers post-exercise) you won't lose weight. Calories in, calories out. It's important that athletes who already are in top shape with little body fat remember this, as it will allow them to maintain their high levels of performance while minimizing muscle breakdown.

How to get a big booty?

You're born with these ratios, unless you get some hack to give you implants. Fat loss can only happen from your whole body, not single zones. There is no way whatsoever to grow fat on your bum and boobs while having it also disappear off your waist. You can gain fat everywhere by getting an office job and eating McDonalds. You can lose it everywhere by eating well and getting regular exercise. But you can't shrink one and grow the other. You can, however, lose bodyfat and thereby shrink your belly as well as other regions (women's faces & boobs tend to lose fat before other regions), and also do some difficult weights as well to enhance your shoulders and upper/outer back muscles (lats) - this can make your torso look more tapered/V-shaped as it becomes your waist. Take up latin dancing and do squats or leg presses in the gym and you will make your bum muscles firmer and stronger. The fat hiding these muscles may make them difficult to see, dependent on the amount there. But overall, unless you are a goth who likes corsets, you can't shrink your waist by itself.

Another way to big a thin waist and bigger butt is by using those straps that go around your waist and when ever you eat or exercise , use that waist band and make sure it tight but i wouldn't recommend that because it unhealthy to do that but that method has been used back then in the times of Marie Antoinette and so forth.

How do you lose 40 pounds in 40 days if you work out 40 minutes a day 5 times a week?

Don't even try it, it's not healthy.

It took you a long time to put the weight on, it needs to come off slowly as well.

..............................................................................................................................

I disagree, but not just anyone should try. If you are 40 pounds overweight and still at least partially active, I believe it is VERY possible. I used to weight 205 (6'1")...and gained allot of weight through mainly inactivity and drinking alcohol. I've recently recommitted to getting back in good shape. I am 33 and decided to take the low carb, high protein route, while working out at least 30 minutes a day and walking 5 miles a day...I lost 6 fat pounds in 5 days. Water intake is very important as well. There are allot of resources out there for losing weight. The biggest issue I see is with being committed to the ideal, and not getting side tracked. Positive reinforcement first thing in the morning is key in my eyes...from post-it notes on the frig, to scheduling daily activities. My point is that it is very much possible and not unhealthy unless you are in very bad shape. People are genetically different so it may not work for everyone!

What is the ideal weight for a 5 foot 8 inch cyclist?

There may be some slight differences between male and females (which you didn't specify).

I'm not sure why cyclists would be particularly different from other athletes, although I'm sure each sport has a little variation depending on the muscle groups they utilize the most, and weight is certainly a factor in hill climbing.

According to notes, Lance Armstrong is 5' 9 1/2", and has weighed between 163 (in 1999) and 174 lbs (in 1993).

Most body weight formulas calculate about 5 or 6 lbs per inch.
So, if you are 1.5 inches shorter than Lance Armstrong, then you would be about 9 lbs lighter, or somewhere around 154 to 165 lbs.

There is a link to an ideal body weight calculator in the related links section below.

According to that the people's choice "Ideal Weight" is somewhere around 142 lbs for females, and 156 for males. 151 lbs for the "Devine" formula for males, and 141 lbs using the "Devine" formula for women.

This isn't too far off from what we calculated with the Lance Armstrong example, although at least in his early years, Lance Armstrong was actually a bit heavier than predicted.

How long do you have to starve yourself to see results?

You shouldn't starve yourself at all. If you are concerned with your weight then just eat healthier. Get a proper balance of the food groups. Another thing to do is to drink water with your meals instead of soda,tea, or juice.You should also make sure that you eat a good healthy breakfast in the morning because eating breakfast makes your metabolism speed up and burn more of the food that you eat during the rest of the day.Also you could run or walk everyday or do other excercises.

Rowing, or swimming would be two exercises with aerobic benefits using the arms. But the major benefit of doing cardio isn't in the specific muscles that you're using, but the performance boost it brings to your lungs and heart.

Cardiovascular fitness is considered the most important aspect of physical fitness because?

Exercise is very important for the cardiovascular health. But the muscle building exercise may not be important for the cardiovascular health. You have to do some brisk activity like running for 100 meters, very fast. That will increase your heart rate to 180 to 160 per minute. Older age go for lower heart rate. You have to be breathless.

How do you make your butt smaller?

Well, there are many ways but the best I found is a combination:

1.- Find targeted workouts

2.- Eat a diet that stimulates muscle growth and "good fats" (Not all fat is bad, the body uses it for detoxing from pollution i.e., for protecting muscles and bones, keeping temperature, energy reserves, etc)

3.- Take some supplements stimulating body regeneration and build up

4.- Use mental imagery in your benefit. See in your mind the new shape you want.

This is the "budget girl" approach. Of course if you have money, go for some treatment already compounded and tested as i.e. Femimore. It has already the right supplements, the right diet and the right workouts, and it works. The down side is price but if can afford it, is the best solution.

The "budget girl" approach is also good but takes more time, filtering out the good from the bad, etc. But it works. Just stay away from miracle pills and useless e-books, those proliferate but I am still to see something valid.

There are many Plastic Surgery Procedures such as Buttock Lift, Buttock Implants, Buttock Augmentation and Buttock Enhancement that can help you to get your butt bigger and beautiful.
You can't. Go to a foundations department section of a store or to a foundations store and get the foundation with padding for that part of the body.Exercising by doing leg presses and squats will make your buttocks grow larger, as it will stretch out the muscles.

What is the best workout plan for a 13-year-old girl who is 5'3'' and weighs 120 pounds with a big waist and fat stomach?

You need to study why and how the body works. There are factors such as intake- or what kind of intake, exercise-what kind. ETC. Nutrition and exercise are the keys. First of all, your Body Mass Index is 21.3, which is perfectly healthy. 18.5 or lower is underweight and 25-29.9 is overweight and 30 or above is obese. Second, it doesn't matter how much you weigh what matters is your body fat percentage which you can usually have calculated at a local gym, considering your age talk to a parent about getting this done, there are also ways to do it at home but you'll have to order the measuring tools online usually. Third, it is not recommended for boys or girls under the age of 15 to do weight training because your bodies aren't developed enough to handle the strain, supposedly, I started working out after someone at school made a comment. I have been working out since I was 14. The only way to lose fat in one specific area is to lose fat all over which can be done with a good aerobic workout. Workouts should last between 20 -30 minutes and can include, running, walking, jumping rope, swimming, anything that gets your heart rate up and you enjoy. A good way to stay in shape, especially at your age is to join a sport at school. I loved soccer and swimming. It was a great way to make friends, boost my confidence and best of all it kept me in great shape. Make sure you are eating right too. You should be eating 5 or 6 small meals a day. For example: Breakfast might be A bowl of oatmeal with an apple and a glass of milk, have a small meal 2-3 hours later, maybe an apple and some string cheese, lunch should be 2-3 hours after this and should include a portion of lean protein like chicken or fish as many vegetables as you want and some sort of carb, like a roll. Have another snack in a couple of hours, I like 1 cup of cottage cheese with some sort of fruit yogurt. Dinner should be similar to lunch and you can always have dessert. The most important thing is portion size. One portion of meat is usually about the size of your fist. Well this answer is getting kind of long, so the most important thing is how much you weigh shouldn't affect how you feel about your image. I wish I would have worried about it less when I was your age, there were so many other more fun things I could be doing like swimming, shopping, playing with my friends... Weight shouldn't rule your life at any age, so long as you eat right and stay active you don't have to woory about manageing your weight 24/7 and you'll have a lot more time to have fun and do the things you really love. If your really want to pursue the weight thing, I would suggest talking to your parents or a friend's parent, maybe even your gym teacher about your concerns, let them know that they are real concerns and you would like some help researching. My favorite book was Bill Phillips' Body for life, plus it's something your parents can get in on if they want to. Hope this helped.
