WHat documentation would you need to complete regarding an accident such as a skin tear to a resident that was caused during a transfer from bed to shower chair?

I'd be marginally in favor of a turn caps off when the dioalg comes up as suggested above, but never in favor of ignoring caps-lock. Granted, large numbers of people accidentally turn on caps lock and have password problems as a result. However, taking away the user choice to use it is a bad move. However, I agree with your philosophy of avoiding clever workarounds. I think you just may have chosen a bad example.

You have been working out every day for about 3 months and you have lost 9 pounds in three weeks since you stopped working out could you have already lost that much muscle mass?

It is unlikely that you have lost 9 pounds of muscle mass in just three weeks after stopping your workout routine. Muscle loss typically occurs gradually over an extended period of inactivity, not within such a short timeframe. Factors such as diet, hydration, and overall physical activity levels also play a role in determining the composition of weight loss. It is more probable that the initial weight loss was due to a combination of water weight, fat loss, and potentially some muscle loss, but not to the extent of 9 pounds solely from muscle tissue.

What is the best workout regimen for me?

I'm 40 years old, have had difficulty keeping weight off over the years. Although I am not lazy, I am not a fitness buff. In the past two years I have had to change my diet to low carb/low sugar due to cancer and no thyroid. As I have done so, I have dropped weight but still need to lose 50 more pounds. I am looking for the best program that will tone all this loose skin as well as shape and drop the remaining weight. I know it won't happen overnight but are there any supplements I can take to help aid the process and what's the best route for me as I have back and leg issues?

Im 12 years old and i weigh 130 pounds is this a good exercise routine to get me in shape 300 situps 100 squats 100 lunges 5 minutes on the elipticle and 100 weight lifts?

Not all of it, with curl ups no matter how many you do you will not get any results, with plain curl ups, you only get flextion, but you also need extension, in order to get this, take like a very small rubber ball place it behind your back so you never touch the floor without arching your back,

for your routine i would-

100 curl ups (with rubber ball)

50 squats

75 lunges

and try only 3 minutes on the elliptical

and only 50 weight lifts

with this routine i guarantee results. and it wont put to much strain on your body.

Should you eat this poptart before my track meet tomorrow because I run the 800?

No absolutely not, instead eat a piece of toast with jelly or a piece of fruit and a handful of nut.

You'll burn all the pop-tarts quick energy boost before your race and feel worse after because it is such an unhealthy food, the toast will give you more sustained energy with the jelly to give you a get up and go better then the poptart.

How do you gain weight in the feet?

The average person puts on weight first around their torso (in more pear-shaped women it goes straight to the hips, butt and thighs), then on the limbs and lastly on the extremities - in short, if you have fat hands and feet, it's time to get on a jogging machine because if you have excess weight on the feet then you have a serious obesity problem.

What is proper lifting form?

Proper lifting form is the precise procedure in performing an exercise (usually with weights or against resistance) in such a manner as to yield the maximum benefit from the exercise while also preventing injury. It is important because exercise can sometimes be dangerous if it is done improperly, such as trying to perform a deadlift with your knees locked straight.

Is it better to work out with weights or body weight to lose weight?

Weight loss is a matter of burning calories. It has far less to do with the specific type of exercise than it does the intensity and duration with which it is performed. Most trainers would recommend long duration exercises like running, cycling, or swimming for weight loss.

To answer your question, however, use body weight, as it will allow more rapid transition from one exercise to another. Keep moving. Use a pace that allows you to go for at least 30 minutes, developing a light sweat and moderately high pulse.

What is the fastest way for men to lose weight?

I know that nobody loves this answer, but military bootcamp results only prove it.. proper diet and exercise, combined with regular sleeping patterns and making sure your burning more calories then you consume, is the most permanent, most healthy and over all best way to lose weight. If you want to lose weight fast, and arent so concerned about doing it the "right" way, then take a quality multivitamin everyday, eat nothing but small portions cabbage and saurcraut 5 times a day, drink atleast 8 ounces of water with every meal, and run, run, run just as fast as you can, as long as you can, when your too tired to continue, stop and rest, once you catch your breath, do it again and repeat as much as possible. I went from 265-195 in 2 months doing that, its not the smartest choice, but desperate times call for desperate measures

How long does it take to get a six pack if you work out every day?

It depends upon your starting point, your genetics, your nutrition, and your training. Therefore, there is no one answer for everyone. Getting a six pack is not merely a matter of training your core muscles. You must also decrease your percentage of body fat. If they are covered with a layer of fat, it makes no difference how well developed your abdominal muscles are-they will not be visible.
