How many push ups is best for building chest muscle?

now, ive heard of all these ‘jocks’ who always brag on their websites about how they can do 200000 push ups and now they look like hulk hogan or whatever (steroids is probably more truthful) but keeping reps within the 6-10 rep range is meant to help more for building mass. does this apply to push ups too or should a more extensive amount be reached. Any help, much appreciated

Answer

6-10 pushups isn’t going to do anything. The 6-10 reps for muscle building thing is only relevant if you are working with around 60-90% of your MAX lift potential. If you are doing something extremely easy (like pushups), then you’re going to want to do as many as possible, every set. And when that becomes easy, do them with your legs elevated (put your feet up on a bench). But seriously, if you’re trying to actually build muscle, start bench-pressing. Push-ups and other bodyweight lifting exercises are only really good for toning/endurance.

What are the best chest building excersizes for women?

Want my chest to appear bigger!

Answer

You need ones that lift. Incline bench press and flys. Incline targets the upper chest, lifting the chest up and out.

Chest muscle building?

Does it take a while? I’m asking because a dented chest (known as pectus excavatum) and I heard building chest muscle hides it (don’t want surgery or plastic surgery). Everytime I go to the pool or beach people stare at it like im an alien and it gets old. I will be doing a lot of push ups but I won’t be doing flys because I don’t have a flat bench. (how much should I do) and I have Whey Protein to help. Also should I work out every day or every other day. Thanks for the help =)!

Answer

Myself and my brother have this feature. Though, the good thing is, if you choose to build up your chest muscles, you get a better seperation of pectorial muscles - and that looks good!

Try choosing a physical job that involves you using the chest. I used to push trolleys (shopping carts) for 5 years when I was younger. The weight would depend on how many were being pushed (20-30 at a time) - I would then use and focus on using my chest muscles.

Optionally try push ups or using placing both hands together in a prayer position in front of your mid torso region and push both arms together with force and at the same time moving your arms away from you and then back towards your chest. This is a great excersise to execute in chest development.

If i stop building chest muscle and lifting weights will my chest begin to look flabby and fat : / ?

i havent built a ton of muscle in my chest, i bench like 170 max, but i usually just do alot of reps

but anyway im pretty skinny

and if i were to stop bench pressing, will my chest loose muscle and begin to look fat? or will my chest just look normal and skinny without muscle?

Answer

that depends on your body type.

Ectomorphic: characterized by long and thin muscles/limbs and low fat storage; usually referred to as slim.

Mesomorphic: characterized by large bones, solid torso, low fat levels, wide shoulders with a narrow waist.

Endomorphic: characterized by increased fat storage, a wide waist and a large bone structure.

Mesomorphic people gain muscle when they gain weight, and are

altogether “meaty”. Ectomorphic are the people who eat a lot and never

gain weight, and endomorphic people gain all their weight in form of

fat.

The three body type descriptions could be modulated by body

composition, which can be altered by specific diets and training

techniques. In a famine a person who was once considered an endomorph may begin to instead resemble an ectomorph, while an athletic mesomorph may begin to look more like an endomorph as he ages and loses muscle mass. However, some aspects of the body type cannot be changed: muscle and adipose mass may change but the bone structure is a fixed characteristic.

If you are a mesomorp, you will stay the same, more or less. If any of the two others - you will change for the worse, especially endomorp - all mucsle will turn into flab and fat!

Chest muscle building questions- how do i build a bigger more tone chest?

im about 17 years old and ive been working out for about a year.

since i dont have a bench at home i cant do most dummbell/barbell workouts. so i improvise with a swiss ball with my dumbells.

ever since a few weeks ago, i havent felt any burn in my chest anymore. to me, my chest feels like its getting smaller and i work it out at least 3 times a week. i think ive hit a plteau but i need a way to increase my workout

this is my example work out:

dumbell press on swiss ballx4 reps: 15×12x12×10 in between each set- incline push upx20

dumbel fly on swiss ballx4 reps: 15×12x10×10 or 8

in betwwen each set- wide pushupx20 or 15

machine chest fly- 20×15x12 or 10 with chest press after each set 20×15x12×10

then after that 3×20 pushups

is it a good idea to use heavy dumbells on a swiss ball for building chest?

and also, if i can bench about 175 lbs…how heavy should my dumbells be for dumbell chest press and chest dumbell fly?

please list any advice/or workouts since i need some new 1s :/

especially for lower and upper chest.

Building Chest Muscle?

okay,my arms are great,so now i want to build my chest.

all i want to know is how long it will take to see some decent changes.on average i guess.

Answer

Bench press is the most effective to build chest muscle , incline bench press will build your upper chest muscle and declind bench press will build your lower chest muscle ( the yummy line that distinguish between the chest and the stomach region ) Do dips too , it works on both your tri-ceps and your lower chest ( more on the outer sides ) , dumbell fly can also aid great help. The most important thing is to hit your chest muscle at various angles , dont forget to add weight up when you get used to a certain amount of weights. Do heavy sets to build up your strength and muscle fast, if you wanna look lean and defined, do more reps.

If you are persistant , and also strict on diet, I’d say after 3 months , you will see a change . The best thing to observe is take a picture of yourself now , and then compare it to the new ones taken every month , you will see. But be patient hey!

Good luck working out.

Chest Muscle (Pec) Building - No Weights?

What are some good exercises or workout routines that I can do at home? I don’t have any benches or any thing like that, just one 15lb dumbbell. Thanks.

Answer

Push-ups are sufficient to build up your chest. Try varying your hand spacing to get as much of the pec muscles to work. for example do three sets to fatigue. 1st set normal shoulder width hand spacing. 2nd set -close- with your hands touching where your thumbs and index fingers make a diamond shape. Your chest should touch the center of the diamond with your push-up. and a 3rd set with your hands far apart…wider than shoulder width.

You can increase the resistance as well as get an “incline bench press” type of work out by elevating your feet above your shoulders. For example put your feet up on a bench or chair wile you perform the varying width push ups.

By doing pushups, are u just building chest muscles. or do u lose fat also. is it the same with situps?

Answer

Push-ups build muscle. Muscle burns fat –8 time more than other tissue. So, if you do push-ups, you are both building muscle and giving yourself an opportunity to burn calories 24 hours a day. The same applies to sit-ups.

What are the best workouts for the chest?

im bench pressing but to flatten out the fat on my chest and build muscle what other techniques can i use that will help..

Answer

Start doing cardio for 15 minutes chest exercises for 30 and cardio for 15 minutes.

Here is some suggestions on chest

Best Chest Exercise

A well defined and developed chest is the dream of most men (and woman) . To achieve a well defined and balanced chest you must incorporate several chest building exercises. Your chest building exercise workout must have different exercises from different angles to develop all the parts for your chest. Developing strong triceps and Deltoids also will help develop a well balanced chest.

To get the best results you need to do 6-10 reps of each exercise. Choose a weight that you can do up to 10 for three sets. Once you can do 10 then move to a higher weight for maximal results. You can build up your chest muscles by doing chest presses on a n incline bench, a flat bench, or a decline bench. These exercises angles will target your upper, middle, and lower pectoral muscles, respectively.

Barbell Overhead Pull

Dumbbell Fly (Chest Building Exercise)

Lie supine on bench, step or floor, abs tight and lower back flattened on the bench. Start with weights directly over chest, palms facing each other, elbows slightly bent. Lower weights out to sides, stopping at shoulder level, then bring weights back up over chest. Think of hugging a tree.

Bench press (upper chest exercise) (lower chest exercise)

(flat)Lie supine on bench, step or floor, abs tight and lower back flattened on bench. Start with weights directly over chest, elbows at 90 degree angles. Press arms straight up without locking, then lower back to starting position.

Dumbell Bench Press

Incline Bench Press

Incline dumbbell press

Decline bench Press

Bent Arm pullover

Decline dumbbell bench press

Pec deck exercise

cable crossovers

Pushups

Get into pushup position, with your weight evenly distributed between your toes and your hands — and your legs, hips and back in a straight line — and lower and raise your body by bending your elbows, making sure that your arm angle is 90° at the bottom of the movement. Pushups is one of the best chest exercise.

Dips (lower chest exercise)

Hold yourself up on a dip bar and, making sure to keep your head down and your legs straight beneath you, lower yourself by bending your elbows, and come back up to the starting position. Make sure to keep the movement in your chest and not in your triceps, as you are working the former.

How to tone flabby underarms without building biceps?

Hi, i am a mother of my 8 month old baby, i put on 60Ibs during my pregnancy and lost 50Ibs so far, I wanna tone my flabby arms but i do not have the luxury to go work out or jog or do any other sports as I take care of her fully. I wonder if u guys have any good home exercise to tone flabby underarms without building biceps muscles as my biceps look develop with all the baby carrying.. thanks a ton!

Answer

First off, don’t worry about building big, bulky muscles, that won’t happen. Building muscle is a lot harder than most people think.

Toning is somewhat of a misnomer, muscles are already “toned”, it’s the bodyfat covering the muscle that has to be removed in order for you to see the muscle. The best results for burning bodyfat has been shown time and again to be a combination of proper diet, strength training and cardio.

Another big myth out there is the “low weight, high reps” for toning. Doing lots of reps with really low weight won’t do anything except maybe burn a few extra calories. In order to build any lean muscle you have to put a load on the muscle. Don’t worry about getting big muscles, that’s nearly impossible for women to do even after years of targeted training and diet - women just don’t have the testosterone levels necessary to build big muscles.

If you don’t have access to a gym there are a number of bodyweight and home exercises you can do. Strength training has to be progressive in order to be successful, meaning every time increasing strength and/or repetitions. Try to keep reps below 15. You can do pushups or modified pushups at varying angles, situps, pullups or assisted pullups (use a chair to prop your feet up on or have someone hold your feet - pullups are difficult to do), one legged squats, you can use soup cans, or better yet buy a set of dumbells and use those to do curls, tricep extensions, shoulder exercises, back and chest exercises. Again, you won’t get big muscles by doing these, muscle is a lot more dense than bodyfat and won’t look big, and that’ll be the only way to firm up the triceps (underarms) along with reducing the bodyfat.

For cardio, can you get your hands on one of those big-wheeled strollers? I see people out with their young kids all the time. If that can’t work, purchase some workout dvds and use those at home, that’s certainly better than nothing. Get a jump rope and use it sometimes (that’a great cardio workout).

Unfortunately, bodyfat cannot be spot reduced, it is burned over all the body uniformely.

Building Biceps without any nerve visible on my biceps?

Hey!

MY PROBLEM:

Anyone experienced please help me out I wanna know that how can I build my biceps and triceps so that my nerves/veins may not be visible on my biceps and fore arms except triceps nerve/cut that comes.

SELF-DESCRIPTION:

Q2.)How many sets and reps. per day/alternate days of the specified workout?

Q3.)What diet should I take?

Q4.)Which supplements will you suggest me? and when it should be take before or after workout?

Answer

Generally speaking the reason for your Vascularity and deep cuts has to do with body fat percentage. the less body fat you have the more visible veins and muscular definition. So it’s a little bit of give and take the leaner you get the more cut you get but also more vascular so you choose as for the questions.

Push ups- Building bicep?

Whats the Best Bicep Workout? Building Mass?

whats the best workout to do, or even the best couple excerises (in order) that you can do with your biceps to build mass?

Answer

I agree with the first answer that you need to focus at least as much attention to the triceps in order to have big arms. Arms tend to train pretty easily because they are a smaller muscle group than your quads, chest, or back. In fact, you can overtrain your biceps because they get worked doing other movements, like rows. Here are some tips to help you build mass:

- Do your arm workout only twice a week; give the muscles time to recuperate and grow.

- With every bicep workout, match it with a tricep workout.

- Whenever possible while doing a bicep movement, like a dumbell curl, add a twist to the movement - literally. From a standing position holding your dumbells at your side, palms toward you, do a curl. As you near the top of the movement twist your forearm so your palms are facing up. This engages the small head of the bicep.

- Use good form; don’t cheat and swing the weight.

- Eat a lot of protein. Muscle is protein, and to build mass you need to consume protein.

Have fun, and good luck.

Which Is The Best Way To Build Biceps In 1Year.I Am Having Dumbells&I Am A Vegetarian.?

I Will Consume Diary Products.My Hand Bones Are Also Small.As I am 13&I Don’t Want To Go To Gym

Answer

One of the best ways to build any muscle is to eat meat. Meat is the only complete source of protein which is the best way to build muscle. You can lift weights all you want but you can not effectively build muscle if you are a vegetarian.

Building bigger biceps possible with just 5kg?

Slow pace, 12 reps to failure, 3x sets of each arm exercise (10 exercises) for a total work out time of 60 mins - 4 times a week.

No change in diet - currently 1500 Calories (Diet).

Dumbell weight: 5kg (11 pounds) for each dumbbell.

In 6 months, will I get bigger (visible) bicep muscles compared to doing….. no weight lifting at all?

I can’t go any higher weight as I have an illness that effects my muscle power (mitochondrial dysfunction) so 5kg to me is the max I’ll ever lift, unless my muscles get bigger!

Basically the lactate in my blood is already higher (low ATP/Glucose conversion in cells), before starting out on a gym session - so it feels like the end of the session, at the beginning. Hence the pathetic 5kg!

I think most healthy guys would be starting off maybe on 8kg to 10 Kg working up to 15kg to build biceps? No chance on that I’m afraid.

I’m kind of worried, 5kg is going to show nothing in 6 months of effort.

Many thanks fitness experts

Answer

To tell you the truth, if you don’t increase your weights periodically, I’m afraid it won’t have much effect..

You can look to have a fit body by running and other light exercise.. Do sit-ups too. So far as the biceps are concerned, go for push-ups and stick to your 5kg dumbbell on a regular basis… You’ll get good results

Bicep building / Strength — Bulk up Arms.?

I am more of a bench-press type person - I weigh 160, and bench a max of 230/240…but lately I rarely work out…i am getting back to the gym as soon as i pay off some debt and I will be going daily

probably biceps/triceps one day, then shoulders and back, then chest [will be my 3 day work out] …then legs and abs.

I can use hammer curl bar and curl about 60lbs 15-20times

Straight bar - 40lbs 10 times, 3 sets…

 And my one handed curls [20 lbs 10 on each arm] I have to ROCK for em…which means I really suck…

Is there supplements, protein ‘tips’ ….any kind of tips from serious people only to help me get my biceps / triceps/ stabilizers in better shape / bulk up [enough, not HUGE!], and def increase weight

Answer

Have you tried preacher curls? They’re another great routine. The bench allows you to isolate the muscles that make up your biceps and provide great range

Also, try some of these exercises in this article to vary your workout, especially the ones that focus on one handed curls, either standing or sitting

http://www.menshealth.com/cda/article.do…

As for supplements, the best thing for you is 100% whey protein isolate. You can find it in places such as GNC, Walmart/Sams Club, and other fitness places around or online. Mix 2-3 scoops of it with water/milk within 30mins of post workout for the best recovery

Negative Home Pregnancy test.. 10 points to best answer!?

Okay.. let me start off by requesting that no one answers me in a mean way.. I see how some people react to people’s questions, and if your going to be mean, don’t even bother answering me. I’m scared enough as it is, and you really shouldn’t want to add to it..

With that said, I need your opinion..

Okay.. the last time I had sex was about nine weeks ago.

Afterwards, I started working like crazy, and then dealt with some legal problems (not stressful though.. if that makes sense..) Anyway.. I noticed about a month afterwards that I kept feeling sick at work around the same time. I didn’t think much of it.. and then I noticed my boobs were killing me, the sickness returned full course. Now I’m feeling dizzy and quesy in the morning when I first wake up, and before I go to bed. Over the weekend, I noticed a crusty like appearance on my nipples and when I squeezed them, what looked like a tiny amount of clear liquid came out. I’ve taken about 5 pregnancy tests, and they’ve all come out negative. I’ve got tons of pregnancy symptoms, but keep reminding myself that I can’t be pregnant. I have really irregular periods, and I haven’t had my period for about six months.. but I’ve been pretty much celebate all summer, except that one time nine weeks ago. Last nite, when I was wiping, I noticed a small spot of blood on the TP. Whe
n I wiped again, I had another red dot, and a little bit of white, sticky discharge. Neither of which has returned at all so far today. I’m worried that I might be seriously ill.

Has anyone ever expirienced this? What ended up being wrong with you? I can’t see my Dr for awhile.

Ps.. here’s a list of some of the sympoms I’ve had within the last month.

-Fatigue

-feeling feverish with no temperature

-flu like symptoms

-mild cramping that’s off and on

-bloating

-constipation

-thirst

-a weird “out of it” feeling

-a sense that something isn’t normal

10 points to best answer!

Answer

I had the same problem with my first pregnancy. I took like seven home test and they all came up negative. Then at around the third month I went to the doctor and he suggested I have a blood test done, and sure enough I was pregnant…about four months pregnant.

I would suggest going to have a blood test done. Then you will know for sure if you are expecting. I wish you luck!

Has anybody NOT had nay early pregnancy symptoms, but still were pregnant?

I know it sounds a bit odd, but everyone keeps talking about their early preg symptoms (before af is due, or just after) like nausea, sore boobs, watery cm etc. I dont think i have experienced any of these, so makes me feel like maybe this isnt it (af due in 3 days). But then i thought to myself, maybe everyone doesnt get early preg symptoms? The only thing i have really had is just slightly sore boobs, but not anything out of the ordinary, and never for a long time when it happens, so could just be normal for af.

Just wondering cos all these forums out there people keep saying that they know they are preg cos they could tell by their bodies. Does everyone’s body show signs?

sorry, so long winded heheh

Answer

with my son i had early symptoms such as nausea sore breast ect and negative test till a week late on my period, this time round no symptoms apart from mild cramps a week before af and a sore left breast and a positive at 4 days before missed period i just knew i was pregnant and didn’t get symptoms till i was 7 weeks

Do these sound like pregnancy symptoms to ya’ll?

this would be 5 days after sex (my period ended the day before the sex):

-fatigue (im getting bloodwork thursday to check for other explanations)

-very sore throat in evening (but NO swollen glands like when i usually have a sore throat

-runny runny nose

-night sweats

-very intense sometimes erotic dreams

-heartburn

-tired body/lightheaded

-breakout across face (VERY unusual for me)

Answer

Some of the symptoms could be pregnancy, but it could also be an infection/flu. Wait until the week your period is supposed to start, and take a home pregnancy test. If it comes back negative and you still haven’t started your period after a week, test again to know for sure. Good luck!

Is there a possibility of pregnancy? 10 points best answer!!!?

Well to start my last period was Sept. 29. It should have came on Oct. 30 but never showed up. Also normally I get ewcm when I’m ovulating but I didn’t get it this month or I just wasn’t paying attention. For the past few days I’ve been feeling like I’m going to get my period besides my cramps aren’t as intense and they also come and go. Also my nipples have been hurting not my breast just the nipple. I’ve gained 4lbs in the past 2 weeks. (kind of Bloated) I’ve done went from a size 5 to a 7 which is kind of weird. Period symptoms are similar to pregnancy symptoms which I know. When I was pregnant with my son I thought my period was coming for 3 months until I took the test. Would not ovulating cause you not to get your period? I’ve heard you can get pregnant without ewcm. Is that true? Do you think I should test or wait another week then test? Thanks to all!

Answer

If your last period was Sept 29th you can test now and get an accurate result.

It sounds like early [reg symptoms to me, the cramps, bloating etc and yes you can get preg without ewcm, it can sometimes go un noticed.

I wouldn’t wait any longer you should test asap.

Good Luck!

Pregnancy Symptoms 4 weeks after miscarriage?

hi there

Just wondered if any one else has gone through this so early and has any advise

thanks a lot

Answer

It could be your period coming. Or that you are pregnant. Just take a dollar store HPT. Cheap and will ease your mind. If it is negative and you still don’t get your period within a couple weeks I would go buy clear blue digital pregnancy test and take it. Clear blue digital has always been right with me.

How Soon do you start getting pregnancy symptoms…PLEASE answer!!?

….Thanks in advanced

Answer

It depends on the individual, how fast and how high the pregnancy hormones shoots up. With my first child it was about 6-8 weeks (the only symptom was metallic taste in the mouth, and of course missed my period). Second child severe symptoms around 8 weeks (severe morning sickness, my left ovary was swollen like a grapefruit). Usually these symptoms should disappear by the end of 12 weeks of your pregnancy.

My pregnancy symptoms disappeared by 10th week?

My pregnancy symptoms disappeared by 10th week. I went to the doctor for the ultrasound duirng my 11th week and everything was fine. Now i feel like my belly is not bloated either. Now during my 12th week I feel more energetic. Is it normal to feel this way. I am just paranoid about everything. My next appointment is not until 2nd week of May. Also, i have read on the internet about miscarriage and people not knowing about it. Is it possible to have miscarriage with no bleeding at all. Thanks for your replies in advance.

Answer

You should have stopped morning sickness and most other symptoms by now, yes. But by your 10th week, trust me, if you miscarry, you’re going to feel intense pain. I had a miscarriage at 6 weeks and it hurt like he**. Relax and enjoy this special time!

Pregnancy Symptoms but I’m not Pregnant?

Lately I have been experiency common pregnancy symptoms. I am always tired no matter how much I sleep and I have had a weird sudden change in appetite. I have experienced an unusual weight gain though I really don’t eat much. I am always so nausuated and sometimes I feel a pain in my side or my breasts. My breasts have enlarged and seem a lot fuller. And I’ve noticed my fingers have swollen because my ring is getting tight. Not to mention a clear discharge occurs very frequently but it is odorless. I can’t be pregnant because I have had my period. Does anyone know what might be going on? Thank you in advance. Even a little help is greatly appreciated.

POST PREGNANCY :

Answer

You can def. be on your period while pregnant. With my first pregnancy I had no clue that I was pregnant because I had my period the first four months, and I had no pregnancy symptoms. Well I got into a four-wheeler wreck and got rushed to the emergency room and they have to do a required pregnancy test so that there clear to do x-rays and it turned out that I was pregnant. The doctor gave me an ultrasound and informed me that I was 3 1/2 months pregnant. My period went away after the 4th month. So I would definitely get an at home P.T. just to be safe.

Pregnancy symptoms… can you get pregnant a week after you stop birth control pills (yaz)?

hi my name is Levia im 14 years old and i might be pregnant. can you get pregnant if u r on birth control for 3 weeks stop them 8 days later you have unprotected sex 2 times?? it is now 11 days later since i had sex and im having some pregnancy symptoms… nausea, headache, reallyyy dizzy, my boobs have gotten puffy looking and im really tired.. does it sound like i might be pregnant? i am going to take a test next friday it will be 18 days since i had sex then.. would it be accurate? please someone help me and give me some advice… if i am idk if i should keep my baby i want to but the father has a girlfriend and he will deny the baby and say im a slut. im rlly not hes the only guy ive had sex with..

Answer

Hun, you can get pregnant while on the pill. It’s only about 80% effective. Missing days, taking it at differant times in the day can make it less effective as well from what i’ve read.

The baby, if you’re pregnant is your decision. Although, the man would be hard pressed to prove he isn’t the father. I’m assuming that your parents would fight for a paternity test. If you are pregnant, he needs to be supporting you should you keep the child and if you get an abortion. He should be helping to pay for it, if not the whole damn thing.

How come I am not having pregnancy symptoms?

Answer

Hi, I’m in a similar situation. I’m pretty sure I’m pregnant (about 10-11 weeks) but can’t get a positive test. Several close friends think I’m pregnant too and I have a lot of symptoms. I look and feel pregnant. I went to a Dr a few weeks ago and got a blood test which was negative. My next period would be due in the next few days, if I don’t get it, or it’s really light I’m going to another Dr to get a second opinion and try and have an ultra sound.

Good luck and baby dust

Strong pregnancy symptoms,two light periods,neg and pos hpts am I pregnant?

I had a baby 4 mths ago,he is my fourth baby(only surviving) had two miscarriages and a full term loss.

I got my first period when he was 13 weeks old.

Myself and dh had unprotected sex a few times before this.

The thursday and friday previous to getting period I got two faint positives on clearblue and on the Saturday got a negative on first response. Got my period on the Monday but was not painful and although was a heavy bleed was lighter than normal. Presumed faint positives were hormone left from pregnancy.

Pregnancy symptoms increasing all the time,nausea,headaches,achy breasts,frequent urination and a tingling in the end of my stomach that I had on each pregnancy.

Did pregnancy test couple of weeks later and got faint positive within the 10 mins time limit,clearblue again.

Did a first response 5 days later and negative.

Got next period 29 days again no pain,and lighter.

Still having strong pregnancy symptoms and increasing all the time.

Went to Dr today and neg pregnancy test but she didnt do a blood test said it maybe a hormone imbalance.

Anyone else experienced this before and what was the outcome.

Had PCOS years ago but totally under control for four years now.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks

Answer

I m so sorry for your losses …

But id go back into the doctor’s and demand a ultra sound just so you can be 100% sure.

If you have gotten a few positives there could be a chance. I got some periods when I was pregnant ..

Good luck

Do you think these sound like pregnancy symptoms?

Last month I lost my virginity to this guy.

I have lost count of how many times we have had sex since then.

Of course, I was stupid (please don’t tell me this-I know already!)

and we never used protection. He pulled out every time except MAYBE once. Last month my period came 9 days early (and about 2 weeks after we had sex) and it only lasted for about 2 and a half days. That never, ever happens to me.

Now, this month, it’s still too early for my period to start but I was just worried because of my early, really short and light period. But also that could just be because I lost my virginity?

Also whenever I take a shower, I can’t let the water touch my boobs because they are so sore. That’s pretty much the only time.

I also have been sleeping so much more lately. I will sleep a good 10 hours and by noon I will be exhausted. and I can’t walk up the stairs without losing my breath which is crazy for me.

What does this sound like to you? And when is the earliest I could take a test?

Answer

It is to early to be having any pregnancy symptoms these are more likley to be symptoms of your period starting. If oyur period is late then do a HPT and you will get an accurate result.

Rh-negative after pregnancy?

Okay. I had my first baby which she was Rh-Positive but they did not give me the shot of Rhypholac after her birth they gave me the shot only at 31 weeks gestation with her. So if I have another baby will the risk of me being sensitized be lower because of the one shot i had?

Answer

I’m pretty sure they were supposed to give you a shot after your baby is born and she is Rh-positive. At least that is what my doctor told me would happen. I am also Rh-negative

After pregnancy bleeding?

I had a little boy 8 week ago and im still bleeding, is this normal?

Answer

Woah, that sounds kind of long to me. I stopped about a month after having my son. Most women I know stop around then too. Perhaps you should talk to your doctor.

Are you taking any birth control pills? I know that after I had my son, I was taking some YAZ, and that caused me to have quite a bit of abnormal bleeding. I swear, I had a period at least 3 days every week. But this was after my 1 month check up, I had already stopped bleeding by that time.

What is the best way to lose post-pregnancy love handles?

I need to get rid of them before the summer time.

Answer

I haven’t had a baby yet, but my friend has and this is what she did… She got a 10 pound weight and held it in one hand, then put her other hand on her hip. She then stood up straight and just kept leaning over to the side with the weight and then back up straight. She did three sets of 25 and after that got easy she did three sets of 50 reps. She looks great now!

Stomach after pregnancy and postpartum depression?

I just had a baby a month ago and my stomach looks gross. Like sagging and stretch marks. Will it ever go back? If so how long? Will I have to get surgery to fix it? I feel really ugly since before I was pregnant. Is that postpartum depression?

Answer

No, that’s not post partum depression. I guess it could be part of it, but if that’s the only thing you are upset about, then no it’s not.

 It’s quite the shock to see what the belly looks like after the baby is born.. will it ever go back? well, it will stop having the jelloish feel to it yeah, but the skin has been stretched, so no, it won’t ever go back to EXACTLY how you looked before getting pregnant, but in the next several months you will notice the jellyness will go away, the stretchmarks will fade, things will start looking better, and best of all you will get used to your new body.. right now it’s like going in and cutting off alot of hair, you look different so you aren’t used to it. it will get better. I’d talk to the doctor at your 6 week appt about what you can do to help out the belly.

Short term disability post-pregnancy?

I’m a resident of NJ working in NY. I had a baby on May 22, 2008. My employer pays 2 weeks of post-partum…so since then I am not getting paid. How do I apply for social short-term disability? Do I have to apply in NY or NJ? My baby is 5 1/2 weeks. Is it too late to apply for disability? Any help will be really appreciated. Thanks.

Does anyone else wear control pants after pregnancy!?

my stomach has gone down it just needs toning up really although i have stretch marks which will never go!

Any suggestions on a good pair of firm control pants?

Answer

i swear by my control pants! they may not actually be firming me but it feels so much better with out the bulges lol!!

i got about 7 pairs in nude and in black!! lol, ones with the extra tummy control, as some are designed for bum and hips etc.

i have these in nude and they are amazing!! i actually fit in to my jeans that were too small before i had my sons!! i felt fab, they are also really comfy and as they are so high wasted it stops your ‘flab’ bulging over the top!

http://www.tvshopping-solutions.co.uk/de…

now i bought these about 3 weeks ago, they are cheap and cheerful so did not expect much, but i was wrong! they are just as good as the ones above so if you want a bargain, then they are your best bet. though if you do not live in the uk, then just search control pants in your ebay, and there are loads.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?V…

check out the trinny and Susannah range they are supposed too be good.

http://www.blestbras.com/ShowProduct.asp…

The trick is to buy the right size, too small and you get belly ache, and the fat spills out of the top, also if the are too small they roll down every time to bend over. I’ve got all types from M&S, i found the thong ones quite painful, i clearly needed the next size. I highly recommend the all in one body though, and if you get it in black it actually looks quite nice. Beware after a few drinks the poppers are quite difficult to do up! The only down size the that the bra bit isn’t padded. lol

hope these few links are useful, i suggest you just try a few diffrent types and see which you prefer.

Major break out during and after pregnancy?

Hi there. My face broke out really, really bad during my pregnancy. I tried many topical products to prevent it. I am now 2.5 months post pregnancy and face is still breaking out. I have used Proactive, and Obagi skin whitening, face masks and acne medication creams with no success.

Every day it seems like new pimples and red spots develop. Has anyone had this experience? What did you do? What do I need to do?

Thanks so much for your answers. I’m really looking forward to hearing from you.

Answer

Sorry, I don’t know if your a man or not, the avatar is confusing.

Either way, using that much product is just bringing all the dirt and oil to the surface, and one particular item may even be causing an irritation.

I’m having my first period after pregnancy. Is bright red blood normal?

My daughter is 6 weeks old today and I am having my first period. Its really red and its not turning brown like before pregnancy and it has an odd smell not a bad one just different. I have small clots too but I know that’s normal, and of course its heavy but not too heavy. Im not breastfeeding. All im really worried about is that its bright red.

Answer

Hmmm.. all of my periods are bright red normally.

Excessive Sweating after Pregnancy?

Every since I had my baby I seem to sweat a lot more…he is 9 weeks old…is this normal? Has anyone experienced this? Does it go away? Stuff like washing dishes will cause me to sweat a lot on my face even though I am not out of shape by no means or anything…..

Answer

Like MHW said, my doctor also told me it’s both hormones trying to regulate, and your body trying to shed excess fluid. I had that happen to me with all 3 of my kids, especially with my 2 boys, for some reason.

It should go away within the next month or so, if I remember correctly. I think my kids were around 3 months when it stopped for me.

Hope this helps!

Whats the best hair care products for taming or stopping broken hair due to using straighteners.?

Hi

I have very thick long brown hair with a natural kink. I started using hair straighteners about 5 years ago. It really does make my hair nice and straight but alas the usual damage occured. Broken hair. Also parts of my hair have become very dry at the ends and frizzy even after using the following products. When i straighten it now i can always see little broken hair standing out. When i go out and stand under a spotlight (Usually in pub toilets) i have a heart attack because it stands out so much. I want to know if anyone has the answer to how i can protect more broken hair and also how to tame the ones i’ve got. I do use Tresemme Hair protecting spray and have done for many years but i don’t think this product is working for me. I do try all sorts of straightening balms and I also use VO5 tame & shine as i’m straightening but none of it seems to work. The best person to advise would be an hairdresser i would think but any suggestions would be appreciated

Thanks Ann

Answer

my sister uses a CHI iron and CHI protecting spray (or cream, i don’t remember) and her hair always looks awesome and unbroken. (she straightens her hair all the time, too.)

Whats the best hair care product for my daughters hair?

She is half white and half Jamaican, and her hair is starting to get real curly but frizzy. what can i use to tame the frizz and keep her beautiful curls?

Answer

There is a product called biosilk that I use on my hair and my nieces hair. I am half african american and half caucasian, she is half caucasian and half hatian. When I were my hair curly i just put a dime size in my towel dried hair after i wash it and let it air dry the rest of the way. The real key is to keep the hair moisterized there are lots of good products on the market that you would be able to use, but look for those that seal in the hair cuticle, when they arent sealed, frizziness occurs.

I am trying to take better care of my hair. I am washing it once a week with KeraCare shampoo and conditioner. I am no longer using the flat iron and taking a multivitamin because I want my hair to grow and be more full.

Answer

kera care line is great especially the kera care 1st lather, hydrating shampoo, and humecto creme conditioner are great. if you want to change try mizani and add a little of your own remix in there meaning try the chi silk infusion, a leave in conditioner like kera care or aphogee and wrap your hair when its dry to keep from using the flat iron

African American Hair Care Products?

I am currently using Pantene Relaxed and Natural, but it is not doing anything for my hair. What are some good cheap products that may thicken my hair and help it grow?

Answer

I don’t know if you’re relaxed or natural. Products that were made for all hair types worked best on my hair, so I loved Pantene (not the line for women of color because my hair didn’t respond for it) and Dove products. For my natural hair I use natural oils and butters. You have to experiment with different products to find something that works well for your hair and you might go through a lot of brands/products before you find the right ones.

Homeopathy :

A person once asked god “What surprises you about mankind”. God replied “They loose their health to make money &then loose money to restore their health by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget their present such that they neither live for the present nor for future .They live as if they will never die & they die as if they have never lived.

So very true of todays hectic world . Just running in circles without reaching anyone .No time for one self nor for another .So how to live & let others live depends completely in our own hands .

Do we need medicines like allopathy , homoeopathy ,ayurvedic or others alternative medicines or can we be healthy by positive thinking & healthy life style .

Positive Energy :

A person with a smilling face is always welcomed with open arms . why? Because sunny people always bring positive energy & light in their own and other people s life. With positive thinking nothing is impossible .Negative thoughts should be thrown away & positive energy given way .This can help a person to become a bed ridden invalid to become a marathon runner .

Positive thinking is like the sun, which as we journey towards it, cast the shadow of our burden behind us .When we start thinking in positive way, can happiness be far away.

Another method of living a good healthy life is by laughing. Laughing from deep inside (vibrating laughter or uncontrollable laughter) can keep your from aging as well as from all health problem . So just give it a try .See one comic film daily, or a comedy serial , joke books etc and see your life becoming beautiful…

What is the best homeopathic or natural remedy for anxiety, stress and muscle relaxant?

Have tried the usual route of SSRI’s etc and found them no good, so wondered if Valerian or Aconite was useful or if anything else worked well for people.

Answer

Aconite is good, Rescue Remedy - A Bach flower remedy - is better

What is the best tablet for sleeping and thinking positive?

Answer

I am afraid no tablet is going to help either of these problems. In fact sleeping pills make getting to sleep nearly impossible unless you continue taking them and after a short time add little to the total time you stay asleep.

I suspect it is counselling that you might need rather than medication.

How soon does Bach flower remedies work?

How soon will people notice improvement after taking it?

Answer

I use the rescue sleep without any relief from insomnia. However when I use it and spray twice, I am very groggy when I awaken.

I have tried a Bach flower remedy and did not get any results whatsoever, I tried it daily for a month. yesterday I went to the local health food store and the prices went down from $14.95 a small vial to $1.00 clearance. I have used a similar remedy to the classic Bach rescue remedy (not the sleep kind) during emotional trauma and it helped right away but part of me believes in this case it could have been the placebo effect.

Try it and see if it works for you. Everyone is different. Give it a good 2 weeks before deciding.

Rescue Remedy in Pregnancy?

Hi

Can anyone tell me if it’s safe to take Rescue Remedy during pregnancy? I’m 20 weeks pregnant and going through a particularly stressful time at the moment. A friend recommended Rescue Remedy but she didn’t know if it could be used safely during pregnancy.

Many thanks,

Alison

Answer

Hi

Rescue Remedy is quite harmless at any stage in your life and can help you with stress related symptoms.

There are other Bach Flower essences that can help you even more, depending on the type of stressfull events you’re going through. You should consult a person who is knowledgeable in Bach Remedies.

Since this type of remedy like homeopathic remedies also reaches the foetus, you baby will also benefit from it’s calming effects since he or she also picks up on your emotional state and probably needs as much help as you do.

You can take any Bach remedies without fear of doing harm to your baby.

Wishing you all the best.

Any discussion upon Bach would be way too lengthy and unavoidably generic. Try and search amongst the thousands of answer given here and you’ll just begin you route to the comprehension of this never-repeatable phenomenon.

The greatest monuments he wrote are, in generally accepted principles, the two Passions (St. Matthew and St. John), the two-book Well Tempered Harpsichord, the 6 Brandenburg Concertos, the Goldberg Variations, the Musical Offering, the Art of Fugue.

Does anyone know anything about “bachs rescue remedy” liquid/pastilles?

is this safe for children to take ?

Answer

Hi- Its fine for adults, children and animals. I use it for nerves, and it works so quickly for me, that i forget why i took it in the first place-honestly. I give it to my dogs[a few drops in their water]if they are stressed. AND, When we had to box,my daughters horse[first time] to take him 20 miles to be schooled, i put some in her mouth, and she was no trouble at all and very calm. I think its great stuff, and if you give your child about 5 drops on the tongue,or in some cold drink,it should help a treat. There is nothingthat can hurt them in it, just essences of flowers in grape juice. good Luck

Homeopathic/Herbal Remedy for Anxiety?

I have occasional bouts of anxiety that can be triggered by situations that are unfamiliar to me, pms, & insomnia. I’ve tried prescriptions (ativan, xanax) but I’ve just moved, & understandably, my new doc (psychiatrist) isn’t real gung-ho on just dosing a controlled substance. My insomnia (it’s a circle - I’m thinking too much, can’t fall asleep, brain goes into over-drive, still can’t sleep, then I start getting anxious & around 3am I’m crabby & tired & unable to sleep) I’ve tried Lunesta, Rozerem, & Ambien to no avail. Stronger drugs work; but I wake up so tired/hung-over. Melatonin gives me nightmares. Searching on the internet, I read about 2 homeopathic remedies… arsenicum album & lycopodium. Does anyone know anything about these guys? Can they be taken together? How should they be dosed? Etc? I *don’t* want to get high, I don’t want to “escape”… I just want something
 that works & not something to take every day/several times a day — only when needed & a few doses are ok.

Answer

if i have an anxiety attack i usually take something called Dr Bach. it’s a natural flower remedy that will for sure calm you down. my father passed away when i was little and to cope with everything we all took the stuff and it REALLY calms you down. you can only get it at healthfood stores not chemists (i don’t think) and it comes in a spray or drop form. it actually tastes really good lol. you don’t have to take it all the time, just as you need it but unfortunately there isn’t some magical cure that you can take once a week!! i actually have the same sort of thing as you. i never get to sleep and i over think way to much!!!! maybe see a counsellor about your problems and i REALLY hope you feel much better!!!!! good luck!!!!

Does anyone have a dachshund dog that has seizures?

I have a mini and he has had 3 seizures. Should I worry about it?

Answer

So far I have had a couple of dashunds, but non of them had seizures, but my Lab/Border Collie, does get them. I do have to agree with the other people who suggested that it would be a good idea to take him to the vet. But I found something else that helps a lot. Our dog gets seizures when he gets very stressed. I found that Rescue remedy, from the Bach Flower remedy range helps our dog get over his seizures very quickly. The other thing that you can do for him when he gets the seizures is talk to him and stroke him while he is having the seizure that will help him calm down. Good luck for your both.

I was born on the same date as BACH!!!!?

Over the counter Anxiety medicine?

is there any over the counter anti-anxiety medicine…that really works? If so, how long does it take to notice a difference?

Answer

Hello! There were some good answers already posted, but since I work in the therapy field, and with anxiety a lot, I thought I’d round out some recommendations for you. Here they are:

1) L-Theaninne - a great and scientifically proven natural muscle relaxer used for anxiety and sleep

2) Bach Flower remedy - “Rescue Remedy” Drops to be taken under tongue

3) Lavender tonic

4) Brain Entrainment CDs - Help bring the vibrational rate of the brain to a more relaxed level. A site called www.hemi-sync.com have the best.

5) Be careful with Benadryl. Most folks feel quite dopey taking this for anxiety or sleep.

I hope you find this helpful. These are just a few things you can do to fully recover from the anxiety struggle.

Peace,

Most of these medicines are derived from the essence of flower thus the name. They are usually associated with mental symptom of a patient. There is one medicine called STAR OF BETHELEM. It is a combination of three medicines, It is usually used when a person is very disturbed due to sudden death in the family, seen some accident which is disturbing Ect . It stabilizes a person up to a certain extent. 5 PILLS EVERY ONE HOUR.

At times some medicines work so well with certain individuals that it is unbelievable.

One patient in her early fifties came to us. She used to have severe pain in her abdomen. She was suffering since last 20 years, Her pain started around 2.30 to 4. After the pain started if she passed stool she felt better or it subsided on its own if after 20 to 30 mins. Therefore she came to us doctor had advised her to get the pap test done & even get a sonography done when the pain was there. Since the pain was usually at night she couldn’t get sonography done but she came to us. We gave her some gastric reducing pills and high doze of homoeopathy medicines for 15 days. When she came to us her pain had reduced very much. It now pained very rarely , like once or twice in 1-2 months. She now calls it a miracle.

 

There are some regular patient who come every second week with some problem or the other, usually associated with gastric problem & other is weight problem Time again we have to explain to them to change their life style & eating habits. Once lady comes to us for weight problem but her eating habits were such that she loves to eat paratha & thepla every seconds day (they are laden with oil &ghee) . She could not eat simple food, liked junk food & worse so did not like to exercise much. Such people cannot be cured .The cure is completely in your own hands.

 

One person is in complete contrast to the above person. He was a complete workacholic , busy with his work , so timing of food was not regular but once he was detected with high cholesterol he completely changed his lifestyle. After having a nutritive good breakfast ,has a light lunch packed in box & evening he leaves his office at 6. Even if new clients come they are requested for next day appointment, now since traveling at the same time , he has made a number of friends by travelling in the train. They go home with some new story/humour & when he goes home he is always in good mood. His dinner is at 7.30 -8 pm one hour after his meal he goes for a small walk with his wife. His cholestrol has gone down considerably & now he and his wife both are health conscious.

Best extreme diets out there,do they work?

Im wanting to go on a diet, and my friend recently did the cambridge diet and she lost a lot of weight doing it. But I was wondering if there were any other diets out there that are similar, and if so has anyone tried them? I want to lose weight fast so I can get the breast reduction I so desperatley need. I know exercise plays a big part and I understand that, so any tips would be great, but I need exercise that doesn’t hurt my boobs.

Thank you

xoxo

Answer

In the first place, you don’t want to lose weight quickly, that messes up your bodily functions and can become dangerous. All you have to do is eat less, some say that if you eat a little every three or fours hours is better than three full meals, especially anyone that is a diabetic. Watch your fat and calorie intake, stay away from high sugar levels, drink plenty of water and instead of a running exercise, make it a fast pace walk. Just remember this, if it tastes really good and sweet, it’s no good for you. Eat more baked chicken and fish, stay away from reg. Coke or Pepsi an especially Mountain Dew, eat vegetables and salads with light dressings or vinegar and oil. Snack at night on fruit and drink more water, or a cup of green tea or decaffeinated tea sweetened with a sugar substitute. Drink skim Milk and put it on a cereal like Special K. When I was doing this, I would diet and exercise Monday thru Saturday. Sunday I would eat normal, but still walked, then Monday, back o
n my diet food. A fast pace walk is all the exercise you need, and ride a stationary bike some. Once you lose your weight, you’ll need to do some sit ups and small weight lifting, and just some basic exercise to firm up where you lost the weight. Wish for you the very best luck young lady.

Which is the best fitness dvd to buy?

im having to cancel my gym membership coz i cant afford it anymore

i want to stay fit so which fitness dvd should i buy?

i like dance workouts and things that are similar.

ive tried the davina dvd and just found her annoying.

Answer

The P90X its a 90 day challenge , ow its perfect , check it out i have one actually and my mom and i partake in it . It has two dvds but u must follow them in a certain order , from

1 dvd. intro tape , back and chest, plometrics ( to rasie your heart rate ) , shoulders and arms , yoga , legs and back , kenpo ( like kick boxing )

2. dvd Back and Biceps , Cardio X , X Stretch , Chest, Shoulders and Triceps .

Its a great challenge if you are willing to take it on and have that willpower and not lazy or get to tired. All you need to do though is make you also get your own mat , weights , plates, and stuff u will need in some of the workouts are a chair , water , mat etc .

But its not really with dance , and u dont have to follow the 90 day thing if u dont want , u can just do your own routine if u want

Gym in st thomas?

what is the most convinient option for gym membership for someone who lives works and plays in the west side of st thomas?

paradise fitness is gone

Answer

There’s a new gym called Extreme Fitness.

All about P90x and Tony Horton’s 10-minute Trainer!!!!!?

Is P90x worth the money or is it something that is to hard so you just throw it in the corner and forget about it? Also how long do the exercises last and how fast do you see results, are you on a strict diet or anything? Is it for people who need to lose about 20 pounds and get in shape like me?

I also saw tony horton’s 10 minute trainer (same guy) and was wondering if that worked the same, does it take longer to lose weight and see results, which one would be better?

Also I would like to lose the 20 pounds and get in shape in about 3 months. Thank you!

Answer

P90x is difficult, but exercising and weight lose is, period.

M - Chest & Back - you need a chinup bar, DB’s and/or tubing. You will be doing a ton of pushups and various pullups.

W - Should/Bis/Tris - again you need DB’s and/or tubing

F - Back and Legs - more pullups and DB’s

M/W/F you do ab video - 16 minutes.

All the weight workouts are under 1 hour

T - Plyometrics (jump training) 1 hour

Th - Yoga 1hr 30 minutes

Sat - kickbowing

Sun - rest or stretch

4 weeks and then you change it up.

There is a diet program and you will see results in 2 weeks if you put forth the effort.

It will cost about $130 without the chinup bar or other assoccories.

Good luck, I loved it!

I am having nasty chest pains and can’t breathe properly… and I am only 20! Please help!?

I am only 20 years old. I am having chest pains quite frequently and at night and also heart pains. I have veru shallow breathing and ifind it hard to breathe especially before I fall asleep. I am VERY fit- I exercise daily and combine running, kick boxing, cycling and weight training. In morning I have a phlem build up from my chest in which I spit out lots of thick phlem off my chest and occasionally have a small bit of blood.Last year my friend woke me as I had chest pains and couldn’t breathe well and while asleep she heard my breathing stop. When I woke I couldn’t move I was in so much chest pain and was sat on floor with head between my kness before ambulance arrived. They said it was nothing and I thought they were useless as it clearly IS something. Even my kick boxing partner noticed I ‘don’t breathe’ while exercising’ its not that I dont more so that I breathe so so shallow. Please help!

Answer

They said it was nothing? WTF kind of people are working there?! You need to go to your doctor or to the ER. Demand that they find out what is really wrong with you.

How do I get abs and get rid of love handles/obliques? What workouts are best?

I know I have to lower body fat. I eat 5-6 small meals a day. I do 3 days of strength training and 3 days of 20 min cardio workouts. I also do ab workouts on the 3 days of strength training and 8 minute abs (youtube) on my cardio days. What can I do to eliminate my obliques/love handles and reveal my abs? Any info would help. I’ve went from 211 to 197 in the past 8 weeks.

Answer

Keep at it and vary your workouts.

Variety of exercise is the key I have found. For example..an exercise called Mountain Climbers.

Mountain climbers are done by starting in a pushup position

and then shuffling your feet in and out so that your knees are

moving in under your chest and then back out to starting

position. It sort of resembles climbing a mountain but flat on

the floor. If you want an advanced version, you can also shuffle your hands 8-10 inches forward and backward in

addition to the leg movements. This really makes it a full

body exercise and MUCH more difficult than standard mountain climbers.

After finishing each exercise, rest about 30 seconds before

starting the next exercise. Rest about 1-2 minutes after

completing each “tri-set” before repeating.

This will give you one of the best ab workouts you’ve ever had

without even doing any direct ab exercises. You’ll see what I

mean after you try it!

Once you get away from the myth that a 1000 crunches and 500 situps a day is all you need to do for great abs, then amazing results can be seen.

There is a completely free 65 page ebook about exercise, nutrition, abs and stomaches in particular at http://www.projext.co.uk that you can download (no catch!) and it is excellent.

It helped me greatly.

24/7 gym membership price?

what is the normal 1-month cost for a membership….and can you buy them just one month at a time?

Answer

Mines $50 per month at my local Gold’s Gym, a little steeper then the others but worth it. I use to attend planet fitness and it was super cheap ($10 a month) but the place was so packed i had to wait to use machines and what not. So where ever you decide to go definitely look into it. Good Luck!

ANSWER :

HEALTHY TALL YOUNG BODYBUILDERS FITNESS PLAN

Since body fat is lost all over the body proportionately, I have included a short-term plan that develops into a longterm plan until you have achieved your goals, or have decided to continue with this regular excercise program I have created for you.

I recommend getting right into cardio (working the heart muscle), then progressing to bodybuilding and maintaining the nutrition of some of the most elite sportsman in the world to get the weight(excess, unused fat) off extra fast and keep it off.

Having larger muscles also means the muscles will burn more fat while idle, meaning more weightloss/fatloss will come over time and whilst your watching t.v. lazy on the couch.

This plan will achieve both fatloss, strength gains, plus big muscle growth increasing muscle definition and a more youthful look.

It generally takes 1 year to start looking noticeably bigger than the average person when starting bodybuilding, or 2 years to look like a tank for an adult. It may take longer for a younger person.

——————————…

<<<FITNESS PLAN>>>

EXERCISE PLAN

Your exercise plan should be slowly increasing in intensity for the best long term results.

Start your exercise routine with:

A

day 1: Cardio Session (light walking)

day 2: Cardio Session (light walking)

day 3: Cardio Session (light walking)

day 4: Cardio Session (light walking)

day 5:… (continue pattern )

When you start including jogging in you Cardio Sessions then:

B

day 1: Cardio Session (starting to jog)

day 2: day off

day 3: Cardio Session (starting to jog)

day 4: day off

day 5:… (continue pattern )

When your physically able to achieve the Basic Body Building prescription, you can get started right away on this plan.

C

day 1:Cardio Session (light walking only)

day 2: Bodybuilding Session

day 3: Cardio Session (light walking only)

day 4: Bodybuilding Session

day 5:… (continue pattern )

Once you’ve lost the excess fat you don’t want you can continue with regular excercise if you wish to maintain your fabulous figure, and what better way then to continuing your Bodybuilding Sessions and stopping your cardio sessions!

This will be your new plan:

D

day 1: day off

day 2: Bodybuilding Session

day 3: day off

day 4: Bodybuilding Session

day 5:… (continue pattern )

BODYBUILDING SESSION

Sets and reps help us plan our exercises. Reps/repetitions refers to how many times you repeat the exercise without stopping for a rest break. Sets are how many times you do the nonstop reps. In between sets you must have a break.

-Bodybuilding-

= 3+ sets, 12 reps for all exercises in a session

= medium/high intensity

= break between sessions at least 1 day (2+ days if high intensity)

= break in between sets 5 minutes

= total session time about 1 hour

Warm up…

Move anyway you want until you start sweating, your muscles are warm/hot, your arms and legs are loose. Takes 5-10 minutes. For example, running nonstop, shadow boxing. Light stretching optional.

Main workout…

Full body workout, No weights:

a. pushup (chest (tri-cepts,arms))

b. chinups (upperback (bicepts,arms))

c. crunch/situp (stomach/abdominals)

d. squates (legs (lowerback))

Finish up…

Some stretching.

Increase the intensity of the exercises by doing extra sets.

CARDIO SESSION

Start off going on a 1 hour nonstop walk. After time when you’ve adapted to walking, increase the intensity by jogging part of the way. Then go the full 1 hour jogging. Make sure you do this progression slowly and allow at least 1 month before making it considerably more intense.

——————————…

<<<FOOD LIFESTYLE>>>

Diets are for quick fixes and usually end in going back to bad old habits. So changing you food lifestyle to one that is more healthy is essential to ensure you don’t have to worry about what your eating ever again and can get on with the rest of life. To achieve a healthy food lifestyle one must understand and make use of the following information.

Healthy: Low energy, high nutrient foods…

Having a healthy food lifestyle means you eat more nutrient rich foods such as fresh vegetables, fruits, nuts, grains, legumes that are more unprocessed. Healthy meats include fish and beef. Nutrients help the body function properly. Eating healthy foods means that when you get full, you’ll have less excess energy stored as fat compared to eating an unhealthy alternative. Which will aid in weightloss.

Having allot of low energy, high nutrient foods often can result in:

-better body function performance

-reduced risks of getting diseases

-reduced risks of getting heat attacks

-reduced risk of cancer

-nutritional nourishment

-maintaining healthy bodyweight

Unhealthy: High energy, low nutrient foods…

Eat less often high fat/sugar foods such as soft drinks, alcohol, some meats, fried foods, most fast foods, ice cream and potato crisps. Because excess sugar, protein and fat the body doesn’t need gets stored as fat (unused energy).

Having too much high energy, low nutrient foods too often can result in:

-obesity

-diseases

-heart attacks

-cancer

-malnutrition

-poor body function performance

Eating healthy foods and having a healthy food lifestyle means you:

-eat a variety of healthy foods every meal

-drink water often. drink when your lips start to dry up

-are full at breakfast

-eat good lunch

-eat good dinner

-have small nutritious snacks halfway between meals. e.g. apple, grapes. Or as a guide, every 2 hrs 30mins between meals.

-are never feeling stomach pain due to hunger. Eat if you do.

-choosing to eat healthy alternates often

-having some excess body fat is necessary so that your body won’t resort to eating your muscles after it eats whatever in your stomach to get energy for the body’s normal functions.

——————————…

<<<ESSENTIALS>>>

A good plan

Make sure someone who has the qualifications puts a plan together for you.

Proper technique

Make sure you are doing exercises correctly. Doing one incorrectly at the beginning may seem safe. But in the longterm after weeks, months or years it can result in serous injury to put you out of work for a week to months or even longer.

Raise Intensity

Raise the intensity of your exercises slowly, to keep achieving more from your fitness program in the longterm. This can be done by adding more reps/sets/stress/weights/angle for exercises.

Hitting a plateau

If you reach a plateau and increasing the intensity of the bodybuilding sessions reaches its limits, then take a couple weeks off and comeback and start at 75% of the level of the previous plateau (levels may be in number of sets or dumbel weight). Then when you reach your next plateau it will be higher than the previous one. Repeat this for each plateau you experience.

Muscle soreness

You will experience muscle soreness when starting your workouts. Muscles get sore because of the lactic acid that accumulates around the muscles during exercise. Lactic acid is a poison to muscles, but is a necessary sign so that you don’t push your exercise intensity over the limit and injure yourself.

Day after soreness is normal for a worked muscles. But soreness or pain longer than that is a sign that you could be doing damage to your muscles.

You may be working your abs too hard if they are still sore more than 1 day after they were worked, since the body system that creates the lactic acid during a workout usually takes 1 day to regenerate back to normal.

But take into account when working muscles to a new intensity, the effects of initial soreness will be high until your body adapts to the intensity.

Stretch your muscles to squeeze lactic acid out after workouts to reduce soreness.

Rest

Rest is vital to get good responses from exercise and nutrition for fatloss. Rest allows your muscles to grow. Sleep for 8-10 hours a night if possible. Most quality hours are from 9pm-6am. Not getting enough sleep aids fat gain.

Powers of water

Never underestimate the powers of water. People can live longer with only water than food. Drinking at least 1.5ltr of water over a day is necessary to maintain peak performance and remain alert, and increased blood circulation which will help the body recuperate better. This water gaol can be achieved by filling a 1.5ltr water bottle at the start of the day and making sure you have drunk it all by the end of the day.

If your lips are not moist, and becoming dry, it is a sign you aren’t getting enough water.

Dedication

This plan will definitely succeed in the shot-term, but continuing it for longterm and keeping regular excercise up so you can keep your body always in good health and shape, comes down to you and your dedication and a commitment, to continue no matter what.

Goodluck ^^ )

I would like to start eating healthy, can anyone help with my diet

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to eat healthy. Any links, any advice would be great! Thank you

ANSWER :

Hi Lucy! I started the Atkins diet last week and I have lost four pounds! I haven’t even been working out like I usually do. Basically, I do not ingest any carbs. It is a very easy diet to maintain if you are a meat lover, which I am. It is very simple! You can have any type of meat and any type of cheese and eggs.. you can eat things such as: chicken, beef, lamb, fish, cheese smothered chicken, cheeseburger [without the bun], steak, sandwich meat, omelets, philly cheesesteak [without the bun], etc. I am loving this diet. Yesterday, I had two boiled eggs for breakfast, a huge green pepper, ham, and cheese omelet for lunch, and a swordfish steak for dinner. Here are some sites that provide guidelines and some others with Atkins friendly recipes. The first link is especially helpful. Good luck hunny!

Is it healthy to eat nothing but fruit for one week?

for one week i plan on only fruit.

is this HEALTHY?

its just to kickstart a life of healthy eating. i feel i need to get rid of all the crap ive put into my body from eating takeaway everyday so i want to start FRESH.

also any more information on DETOX?

i want to clean out my body of all the yuck stuff and start over.

i dont want to take pills or use chemicals i just want to do this with natural foods.

any information on natural detoxes?

and also how long should the detox go foR?

i was thinking 7 days…

ANSWER :

Okay. Relax. Take a breath. And throw away your fruit only plan. You need some protein! So you want to clean up your act. That is great! Start by eating a cup of cereal and milk for breakfast. a few hours later (3) eat a fruit. 2 hrs later, eat a light lunch. Try a pb & j sandwich or a few slices of ham and cheese and a fruit. Then a handful of almonds 3 hrs later. then dinner at 630. then if you get hungry around 9 or so a handful of almonds (10-15). Exercise atleast 30 min 3 times a week. Drink lots of water. And as for detox…GREEN TEA is a great antioxidant, cleans you nicely. Blueberries should be your fruit of choice…antioxidants as well. There is a tea they sell that cleans you out (literally) i forgot what it has in it. But it is a detox tea and completely natural (all herbal). Also, eat al ot of fiber. Fiber one cereal is good. Or try grinding flaxseed into foods (1TBSP) 3 times a day. DOn’t buy it already ground because it loses properties. Grind it be
fore eating it. Don’t eat the seeds without grinding b/c your body can’t digest it.

Anyway, to conclude, don’t just eat fruits for a week. It is too much starch for your body and will be counterproductive in weight loss. If you want do veggies instead. atleast they are less starchy.

How can I stick to a healthy diet?

I’m about 5′3” and weight approx 120lbs. It’s not necessarily my weight that i’m concerned about, but my body shape. I’m fine with the way my stomach looks, but my thighs are really getting to me. I exercise fairly often but junk food really gets to me. I feel as though I rarely eat breakfast, lunch, OR dinner. All I eat is snacks pretty much all day long and most of the time they’re not very healthy. (chips, cookies, etc.) Out of pure luck, I hate soda so I usually drink green tea or water.

How can I begin to follow a more healthy diet?

ANSWER :

IDK how but if you set a goal and a prize for your self if you reach that goal it should help a bit.

Tips for Loosing Weight

By

minootoo

You must count calories and at least in initial stages write down what you are going to eat and when then stay on that list. Your total calories for the week must not exceed, 1500 x 7 = 10,500 calories this will give you leave way to indulge at special occasions like wedding and parties, but you must write down what you eat and account for the calories latter and adjust the total intake next week.

Please read my article on this subject and follow them.

While at it build your body too, while reducing by doing body parts specific exercises.

If you are not too old, then best way to reduce your weight is to increase your height.

Vegetarians have a big advantage, in loosing weight, it cost less and they can satisfy the hunger more easily, some vegetables have only a few calories per pound, so they can fill themselves up with it before enjoying each meal, and never go hungry.

Most people should take one a day water soluble multi-vitamins when on this program; they can be purchased at the pharmacy near you.

Life Style Change Program for Loosing Weight

By

minootoo

Who needs to loose weight?

Answer is simply not every one, only the over weight person.

Who is over weight?

This is simple, it is easy to find out and it is available on line, it is call Body Mass Index, and calculations are simple. According to this calculation if you find your self say only 10 pounds more, you may not be over weight. Remember every one is slightly different and you can just watch it, on your own and not let it get out of hand.

What is the reason for being over weight?

This is also simple, have doctor check you out for any physical or hormonal abnormalities. The doctor should be advising you of your ideal weight even though you have already figured out the ideal weight and you are seen a doctor because your weight is not where it should be according to BMI.

Basic understanding of loosing weight.

Every one uses calories at all time. There may be some exceptions to this rule, for most of us; the rate of use, even when we are resting, we use 65 calories per hour minimum. This comes to1560 calories per day. The actual range is between 65 and 100 calories per hour. This is consistent with heart rate of 60 to 80 bits per minute.

Simply put any person eating only say 1500 calories a day, and moderately active, will not put on any additional weight. At this level of calories consumption the person should loose some weight over long haul, depending on the individual rate of metabolism.

What is a healthy weight loss?

When one tries to loose weight, one should loose excess fat; there should be a healthy loss of weight. Loosing muscles tissue is unhealthy.

How much is one pound of body fat?

One pound of body fat weight is approximately same as one pound of butter. If you look at a one pound package of butter, you will see it contains between 3200 to 3600 calories. This means that each time a person burns 3600 more calories then what the person takes in, the person will loose one pound.

How many pounds should a person loose in a month?

Any one that is trying to trim down can figure out how long it took to put on the excess pounds. The fact is; it did not happen over night. It usually creeps up, but the person realizes one day suddenly.

This is why a person should not be in a hurry to loose weight. The person should start at once but go slowly. Do not wait for New Year.

Taking above in to consideration a person should not loose more then 2 pounds per month. If a person looses any thing more then that, chances are that the person will not be able to maintain the weight loss. It will take extra efforts to loose and it will take extra efforts to keep it off. Remember slow and steady wins the race.

When an overweight person should start loosing weight?

At once. The person should not be in a hurry to loose weight. The person should start at once but go slowly. Again do not wait for New Year.

How does body react to weight lose?

Any time there is depletion of fat beyond certain level, the body reacts by slowing down metabolism, so that it can build up fat. If the body is use to say 2000 calories per day and detects only 1500 calories per day for considerable length of time it reacts to the situation by reducing the rate of metabolism.

Weight watchers or low carb diet best for losing a stone?

I want to loose a stone in the next month. which way is best?

ANSWER :

Losing a stone in a month is difficult and - some would say - not very healthy, although it depends on how much you weigh to begin with. Half a stone is a more realistic goal - and if you exercise and tone up at the same time, losing half a stone can make a big difference to your appearance.

Weightwatchers promises that if you follow its diet, you will be able to lose 1-2 pounds a week (in your first month, if you exercise, 2 pounds a week is quite normal - you might even lose 3 or more in the first week).

I know people who have lost weight more quickly with low carb or other food-restricting diets, but they are hard to stick to because you are cutting out things you crave for - so for anyone with normal or below-average willpower Weightwatchers is a much easier way to lose weight over the medium to long term.

Exercise also makes a massive difference. I’ve been doing spinning 2-3 times a week and circuit training 1-2 times a week, and they are both fantastic for burning calories and shaping up.

How can i reduce in a healthy diet .?please recommend a diet.?

ANSWER :

Do you excercise a lot? A little? You probably need 2,000 calories. If you go to www.thedailyplate.com , they can show you how many calories you need based on your goal.

For example, if you have very little excercise, are a female, and want to lose 3 pounds a week, they will calculate how many calories you can have each day to lose your goal (3 pounds a week in this example.)

As for any diet, just drink lots of water. Sometimes when you feel like you’re hungry, it’s actually a thirst pain, so you should drink a glass or two of water. No diet is as good as just eating healthy. If you shave off 200-300 calories a day of what you “need”, then you lose 2 pounds a week.
