Avatar n tn There is no special diet needed for weight training, especially for a teenager. The special diets, which are high on protein, are for people who want to get very large muscles, but that's different from weight training. Those diets are also unhealthy, as too much protein strains the kidneys and the supplements and shakes and all that contain a lot of harmful ingredients and produce a dietary imbalance.
Avatar n tn Vigorous low-impact exercise is beneficial – for your joints, as well as for cardiovascular, pulmonary, and other systems in your body. If you can't do vigorous exercise, try walking, tai chi and yoga. If you're overweight then you need to diet. Drink concentrated tart cherry juice. it contains anthocyanins and bioflavonoids, which help support a healthy immune response for your joints. Make sure you're getting your vit. D, omega-3 fatty acids from krill or high quality fish oil.
Avatar f tn I'm sure everything is fine. Our little gymnasts turn many times throughout pregnancy. At 20 weeks there is still plenty of time for more turning and getting into the head down position towards the end of your pregnancy when she runs out of room :) however, if you are worried, call your midwife.
Avatar m tn My daughter who is 9 has been having centimeter size or smaller flat red marks on her hands for some time, off and on. They do not flake or peel, once in a while the large marks will end in a small clear blister but this does not happen very often. The marks are light red and very painful to her. Our GP for my daughter does not think of any thing regarding them. The commit is always “it is nothing”. She does not have a temperature or any other signs of rash or illness.

Avatar f tn Thanks for post. It’s really informative stuff. I really like to read.Hope to learn a lot and have a nice experience here! my best regards guys! ----------------------- weight training--weight training [URL="http://www.trainwithmeonline.
Avatar f tn Use the workouts that make use of flexibility and stretching, strength training and aerobics for the best results. Fitting in regular sessions of weightlifting, calisthenics or other strength activities can help increase muscle mass and keep the body toned and strong. Aerobics will help with burning calories, endurance and weight management, and stretching helps prevent injuries and prepare the body for more intense movements.
1676459 tn?1304370075 I started menses at age 16, had a normal cycle for 1 year, bleed almost non-stop (became anemic) for a year, had normal cycles for about a year after being put Loestrin bc pills then they stopped altogether. I am in good health now, have 20% body fat (which my health teacher said is good), excercise 4-6 days a week and have no family history of fertility problems. Was bulimic for 2 years, but have been at a healthy weight for a year now and still no period.
Avatar f tn On average, most first time moms start to feel the baby during 20 weeks. It'll be random and light at first. Your baby's bones are still thin and depending on where s/he is could affect you feeling it. For me, it started at 18-19 weeks. I wasn't 100% sure it was the baby so I started to take an hour each day to just to focus on my fetal movements. Now at 20 weeks I know it's my baby.
Avatar m tn But here is the funny part...It only happens if I have gone without a workout for a week or two. Initially I thought it's not so bad, because it forced me to get back in the gym if I have been lazy for a while. But recently the amount of "off time" required to bring on the pain is decreasing. It's getting to the point that I literally cannot miss a single training session. If I do the pain starts coming. It then only starts to go away after two or three training sessions.
Avatar f tn Finally, using good shoes (ideally compensating for individual foot differences) is important. The shin can be trained for greater static and dynamic flexibility through adaptation, which will diminish the contracting reflex, and allow the muscles to handle the rapid stretch. The key to this is to stretch the shins regularly. However, static stretching might not be enough. To adapt a muscle to rapid, eccentric contraction, it has to acquire greater dynamic flexibility as well.
Avatar f tn (I am 29 and exercise routinely with HIIT and strength training.). I have never had hip pain before, but I have had aches like this that have improved with rest and gradual return to my exercise routine. I exercised fine for about two weeks with that dull, intermittent pain in my hip. But for about a month now, my hip pain has become very severe. I have been unable to exercise or do much stretching at all. I even bought a cane to help me hobble around!
Avatar n tn They consist of stretching and holding different joint and muscle groups for 10 to 30 seconds each. Stretching improves flexibility, and daily stretching is the basis for any exercise program. Strength exercises involve working the muscle against resistance. This can be either with or without weights. Resistance training strengthens the muscle and increases the amount of activity you can do pain-free. Conditioning exercise, also called aerobic exercise, improves cardiovascular fitness.
Avatar m tn pt did evaluation and said he has two postions on lower pack where the five nerves are not moving property down the leg....my son has little to no flexibility in his hips/legs and is suffering spasms and pin needle pain/ numbness in legs and all threw back...this has not been diagnosed by a doc just the pt and he is telling me after a month of therapy is he still having pain maybehe will need more extensive xrays...doesnt the doc give the pt instructions...
Avatar n tn Fold forward over your straight legs to stretch your hamstrings. Maintain each stretch for 20 to 30 seconds. Perform your flexibility exercises every day.
Avatar n tn Ive also had several sports massages on my knees which really helps for a week or so and then the problems return, so it must not be treating the underlying problem. I haven't run since the injury occurred. I've played football (soccer) a few times, but not for over a month now and there isn't much of an improvement. What can I do about this? I love sports of all kinds but can't do anything at the moment. Is it just an injury that takes a long time to heal?
Avatar n tn It tests your physical endurance for sure. Basically you do extreme flexibility and strength poses in a blaring hot room that is hotter than a sauna. Supposedly really healthy for you. But people who cannot endure it physically end up puking sometimes. Also, always do some cardio with strength training. Are you in any sports? Could be could to balance it out. You need to learn the dangers of dehydration. If you work out a lot, you can't just drink plain water.
Avatar m tn Btw I am male 33yrs , was healthy before this and I was doing very hard Gym to practise for a everest base camp trek when this whole issue happened.
Avatar m tn I know the NL will tell me tues it is occipital neuralgia...I know it - are injections for ON dangerous for those of us with chiari and possible EDS? The only thing is that right left tightness gets better when I lay down...csf leak???
Avatar f tn t push yourself too hard. He will learn. For some unknown reason they tend to plateau regarding learning for some time and then suddenly they make leaps and bounds forwards and then plateau again. I too have to remember to celebrate the successes, of which there are many, instead of always playing 'catch up' with other kids.
Avatar n tn I would first advise that if doing push-ups hurts this much stop doing them, for now. A question would be, did you notice when this first occurred and what you were doing? You could have an injury that just needs some time to heal. It's hard to see why having wrists that aren't that flexible would lead to pain.
Avatar n tn No they can't as far as I know. Your hymen can break from exercise and certain sports. It's quite common for dancers and gymnasts to have this happen. So it's not a reliable way to prove that you haven't had sex.
