Avatar m tn Usually the main predictors of aortic dissection are family history, aortic size, and aortic flexibility. For someone of your aortic size, I would take it easy. Try the ARB approach with a max or ultra-max high dosage (as long as your doctor lets you) and see if that reduces aortic size and aortic flexibility (the "pulse pressure" is one way to estimate the flexibility - Google it). If so, then perhaps you can talk to your doctor about athletics.
Avatar m tn About a year ago I got into taking ice baths, to recover from hard running workouts that I was doing. Not doing any research, I stupidly made the water very cold (possibly around 40 degrees, maybe a little under - way colder than what is recommended) and submersed my legs and lower stomach into the bath. I only took baths such as this once or twice, and only for a duration of 8-10 minutes. Could my testicles have been harmed in anyway??

Your sets should last between 40 and 70 seconds any less, and you're not tensing your muscles long enough to shock them into growth.
Avatar f tn Weight gain is one of the documented side effects of invega sustenna; if you are on it, you aren't going to lose weight unless you work hard at it. I suggest you talk to your doctor and see what kind of weight-loss plan you can devise. Also, one form of exercise that does chip off the weight slowly but surely, is walking. If workouts are too much or too hard to keep up, try building a walking pattern into every day. (Park further from your work or school and walk the difference, etc.

20893158 tn?1579358911 Well, because you don't have to run to be healthy, there isn't an answer to your question. All forms of movement are good and it's movement that provides the benefit, not one particular form of it. Moving fast, as with running, does give benefits moving more slowly, as with walking, don't, such as moving toxins and nutrients through your body and out -- the more you sweat, the more you excrete, etc.
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 n tn To achieve aerobic benefits and promote weight loss, you should exercise hard enough so that you can speak a few words but not carry on a conversation. Do squats, lunges, side lunges, calf raises, scissors, the bicycle exercise and rear leg raises or donkey kicks to strengthen your legs and tone fat knees.

So if you want muscles that go beyond what your genetics will allow, you have to cheat one way or the other, including eating too much protein or taking substances not meant to be taken such as creatine or steroids.
