Now to address certain concerns about the Bible, and whether or not that version is what really happens when you die... First, we must postulate that God is the embodiment of truth. This is our first premise, and if God does not embody truth, then ...
You are not you. You are a series of parts that come together at one time for a while which you CALL "you". Are you your body? No. Its only a series of other parts; liver, spleen, heart, etc. Are you your brain? No. If we cut your brain in h...
Damn, after reading how much crap got posted here... I can only bet you're sorry you ever posted this question. I'm a doctor and some of the responses here just blow my mind. Really. If you dont know the answer to something, please, be honest and ...
I find one thing a tad odd, why do you have it in 'A Forum For Those Affected By Kidney's Diseases'? re a trainer. We spend years and years studying medicine, kinesiology, biomechanics, then we have to compete with these kind of people. Anyway, if ...
You cant train your "lower abs". There's no such thing. The abdominus rectus is one muscle that spans the distance between the ribs and pelvis. Due to the all-or-nothing reaction of muscular energetics, it is biologically impossible to train one "pa...
Listen... More people have been down this road than you know, and to each who has decided to tough it out, years later, they're glad they did, and once the problems have been overcome you'll be suprised you even considered it. Your problems ARE N...
All of them actually. I cannot teach someone to do or play a particular sport. Thats the job of the coach / instructor. I work with coaches and instructors to design a training routine that will address both strengths and weaknesses of the athlete...
Sorry to tell you this, but... when one of my athletes ruptures something, I send him to a doctor who takes care of it. After he's done with the physical therapy, I train him to get him back to where he was. Sorry I cant help you too much. I do know...
We're kind of getting off topic now, but I'll answer your concerns. Lifting weights creates many metabolic changes in the body, which can be beneficial to your martial arts training. Lifting heavy weights increases the size and strength of type IIa...
You're wrong. Bruce Lee worked out quite a bit, and did machines, free weights, and all that. You cant get functional strength and agility to such a high degree by doing push ups and bodyweight squats. You also cannot lay down a foundational stren...
Yea, I'm only a sports doctor and kinesiology specialist with 6 years of medical study and practice under my belt. What do -I- know? ;)
I think love got most of the motivational part going... try replacing carbs with proteins. Proteins are extremely unlikely to be stored as fat, so they're either burned or thrown out. They also require more energy to digest, which raises metabolis...
The people here got it. Plenty of sleep, fish oils (from natural sources if possible, not pills), plenty of complete protein, and lots of love.
Here's a long shot... You could try high intensity exercise along with tribulus terris (a supplement). Tribulus increases testosterone. Since you're a woman, your body is likely to convert testosterone into dehydroepiandrosterone, and then through...
You'll also need to establish very strong foundational strength. This means extensive multi-joint free weight exercises such as squats, bench press, overhead press, pull ups, etc - and you'll need to do this for at least 12 weeks. If not, you're very...
To answer your question directly: No. You will not see results from doing what basically amounts to 30 seconds of work each night for a week. I've heard of 10 minute workouts, which are ridiculous... but 30 second workouts? Give me a break! If...
If I may... Is that really your picture up there? You do NOT look fat. Certainly not enough to let it bother you. To answer your question, no, an "all fruit" diet would be an extraordinarily -=B A D=- idea. If you want to gain more fat than ev...
Actually filletofspam had it right. Walking does burn more fat than running. Running uses glycogen stores, and so does sprinting. However, to burn the MOST fat of all, you want to use a tricky combination. First, run as fast as you can for 20 min...
Click on my name and see my advice to others on weight loss. I dont wanna copypasta too much.
Your question is too vague and ambiguous to really answer. You can put on weight for a variety of reasons. Eating habits, water retention, muscle growth, time of day... also, without knowing what your exercise or diet is, its impossible to correct ...
You cant lose more than a pound or so in a week. You'll need more realistic goals before you can make any real progress.
Not meaning to be a copy pasta... but... 1) eat 5 to 6 meals a day. 2) Of those 5 meals, adjust your macronutrient (carbs, proteins, and fats) according to what you will be doing for 'the next 3 hours of your life', until your next meal. 3) Ex...
I'm not sure I agree. 3 pounds a week is rather fast. This is ok if you're just starting, as most of the weight you lose initially will be water, and your body will be willing to lose more fat due to the sudden change in diet and exercise. But you c...
lovelesspa and vaske both had some good answers. Here's just a few guidelines... if you follow these, you'll have plenty of leeway in designing your own diet. 1) eat 5 to 6 meals a day. Basically, dont let 3 hours go by without eating SOMETHING. ...
Running does not really work your abs... and please dont do 200 crunches... anyway, I think I answered your question in another post. Go see.
Look in the mirror. If you like what you see, dont change it.
Huh... asked over 2 years ago... and no one ever answered. All in all, I dont see how an anti-depressant would effect your weight loss results, or alter the way you train. Other than making you feel a little different, there shouldn't be any impact...
First, I'm not sure if you're being real or not. But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you are. First, at 5'6 and 125 pounds, you cannot be fat! That sounds rather skinny if anything, and I'm sure you're mind is just exaggerating w...
5'6 and 130 pounds is NOT fat.
Its not bad for you at all. Its perfectly 100% ok, and in a lot of ways, its GOOD for you, so long as you dont overdose. Rockstar contains caffeine, which is an adinocine receptor blocker. By blocking adinocine, (which slows cells down and prepare...
