Weight Training and Strength Training

improves coordination, makes physical activity easier and more enjoyable, decreases risk of injury or pain, improves posture, gives you better blood circulation, helps you complete everyday tasks,

Yes, red meat is packed with protein, which is responsible for muscle repair and growth.

Plus, while this fact may be often overlooked by novice lifters, red meat's saturated fats help produce testosterone, your body's main muscle building hormone.

If you go to a High school where there is a Cross Country team, I would suggest this. You will see a HUGE gain in muscle mass in your legs, particularly in the quads and calfs.

It is possible. I am 11 now and have a 6 pack

The best source is probably spinach, which has 13 grams of protein in a 100-calorie serving. Firm tofu is a runner up, with 11.7 grams.

Soybeans have 9.6 grams of protein per 100 calories; lentils, 7.8 grams; romaine lettuce, 7.2 grams; broccoli and kale, 6.8 grams; black beans 6.7 grams; kidney beans and peas, 6.4 grams; black-eyed peas, 6.2 grams.

Cottage cheese has 11.3 grams of protein per 100 calories, but it also has 4.4 grams of fat, 17 mg of cholesterol, and 371 mg of sodium. Eggs have 8.8 grams of protein in along with 6.7 grams of fat and 260 mg of cholesterol. Cheddar cheese has 6.2 grams of protein, with 8.2 grams of fat and 26 mg of cholesterol.

Pinto beans and lima beans have 5.7 grams of protein per 100 calories, and peanut butter has 4.3 grams.

A 100-calorie serving of regular ground beef has 4.3 grams of protein, more than 9 grams of fat, and 24 milligrams of cholesterol.

All of the plant sources of protein have zero cholesterol and most are very low in fat.

Yes this is very VITAL for future muscle development. I and others recommend 13 as a good age to start lifting, depending on what body type you are will determine the weight you should be lifting. After lifting to grow the muscle i would recommend muscle milk, or other types of protein shakes to build the muscles and repair them as well.

Absolutely not! I have thought that for years, and being 50 now I thought I was right...until, I started surfing 1 year ago. The way I work out is strong and fast, bench to flys and back again, very quike paced. Your heart controls everything, it needs it's own workout, the heart needs and deserves the attention. Work you way up to 120 beats a minute and maintain that for 20 minutes. When I started out, in the Gym, on a bike, heart rate up 118/120 for 10 minutes, the next day 11 minutes and so on till I reached the recommended 20 minutes. I feel better, surf better might even live longer ! "Get in shape to surf, don't surf to get in shape"

Karate gives your body hard and regular exercise. It trains you mentally and physically. The regular training helps to tone your body and increases your strength. All this teaches you self-defense.

Types of Strength Training Exercises

Static (isometric) exercise = muscle contraction without a change in the length of the muscle

Dynamic (isotonic) exercise = muscle contraction with a change in the length of the muscle

Concentric contraction = muscle applies force as it shortens

Eccentric contraction = muscle applies force as it lengthens

Types of Dynamic Exercise

Constant resistance = constant load throughout a joint's range of motion

Variable resistance = changing load to provide maximal resistance throughout a joint's range of motion

Eccentric loading = placing load on a muscle as it lengthens

Plyometrics = sudden eccentric loading and stretching followed by a concentric contraction

Speed loading = moving a load as rapidly as possible

Isokinetic exercise = exerting force at a constant speed against an equal force

you need a training program and a good diet. The best way to solve this problem is to have a private trainer who can coach your diet and workout. But as I know it will cost a lot of money. If you are rich, you can purchase the sevice of a private trainer . If you are not rich, you also can learn it by software. you can check it out in my site to find if it will help.

Well it depends how much you have worked out before I started with 7 pounders when i was 10.....Once I hit 14 I was lifting around 15-20 pounds.. Hope that answered your Question.

That's nothing im 13 and i have to pick up from 0 to 1/2 pounds and moving on to 3/4 pounds i don't think i can do it though but i pick up 2/3 pounds and did 1/4 squats and 1/8 benches.

I'm 11 and I'm benchpressing 28lb.

Bottom line is more carlories consumed than burned. This doesn't mean eat what you want, though. A good rule is to eat about a gram of protein for every pound of body weight. You want to target LEAN protein sources like chicken breast, legumes, nuts, seeds, soy, and whey. Minimize saturated fat and especially sugar. Also, cut down on carbs, especially simple carbs, so eat plenty of whole grains and vegetables.

Boys are stronger than girls because they tend to have a greater muscle mass. Hormones, including testosterone, contribute to this.

Over training occurs when you do more exercise than your body can handle.

I would say that proper weight training is safe weight training. It's always great to have good form while working out. If you want more info, it's best to search around for blogs online that have free info about working out.

If you mean muscle.. it depends how far you walk i guess. You should get a fitter heart and reduce the amount of fat on your legs by walking but unless you're clocking up serious miles you shouldn't build extraordinarily large leg muscles.

Like the above. Walking will help create lean legs. Strengh training with weights will cause muscle to grow and become larger.

To reduce fat anywhere on your body you need to generate enough energy to burn fat. The standard 3 sets of 12 to 20 reps will not work for long. Do 5 repetitions as quickly as possible of say SQUATS, take a brief pause, and repeat; do this for 15 minutes.

Never do anything to fatigue - this is counter-productive.

Weight loss and calorie burn through exercise is mainly about getting and keeping your heart rate up. And pretty much all kinds of consistent activites, like running, bicycling, swimming, dancing etc etc does a better job of keeping your heart rate up than lifting weights does. If you can lift weights at a high enough intensity and long enough to match the pulse rate and duration of a run, they you'll burn the same amount of calories. But odds are you can't. I can do around 1000 cal/hour during intense cardio, but find it really difficult to get past 600 while doing weight training. Keep in mind that the big thing is your diet. If you are overeating it's pretty much impossible to exercise hard enough to lose anything that way. A snack that takes 5 minutes to eat, like a cupcake, can take one hour to burn off.

If you insist, you should do fairly low weights and plenty of repetitions, exercises that boosts your heart rate and keeps it up consistently. Not something that's done in two big grunts and then over with.
