Common Questions and Answers about Weight training exercises repetitions

Avatar f tn I would recommend doing a full body weight training at lease 3 to 4 days a week with cardiovascular training at the beginning or end to maximize your training. The reason that I say that is because wieght training will have a lasting calorie burn 36-42 HOURS while cardio just 2 hours. This is why you must use weights. Now your backside, different story. I would recommend that you would start with lighter sets until your body gets accustom.
Avatar n tn I am currently breastfeeding and was wondering if anyone could give me any ideas on what kind of exercises I can do to lose weight while on maternity leave at home?
Avatar n tn re doing a series of exercises one after another in a circuit without taking any breaks in between the exercises. You will do both weight training exercises such as pushups, situps and squats, and aerobic exercises such as jumping jacks, jumping rope and burpees. Each exercise is done for a set amount of time, I suggest 30 seconds, or a set amount of repetitions. After you have performed the full circuit, take a short break to recover and drink water, then do the circuit again.
Avatar f tn The arm ergometer is a machine that allows you to use your arms in place of your legs to push the pedals of a bicycle. Another option is trying an upper body circuit training program, using high repetitions and low loads, and short rest breaks between exercises. Using upper body machines or free weight exercises that work your latissimus dorsi, deltoids, pectorals, biceps, triceps and rhomboids will get your heart pumping.
Avatar n tn I agree with Jaquta that lower weight, higher repetitions, as well as slower lifting, may help make your weight lifting more productive. Good luck!

Avatar f tn I'm a little over 14 and I have really big thighs, is there anyway exercises I can do to help tone my thighs? Or anyone I can loose the weight in them?
Avatar f tn It would be good for weight loss if you team up the jump rope cardio with some toning weight lifting exercises, for all your muscles. Toning is awesome, it will tighten your muscles to make you appear thinner, and in lots of light repetitions it is just like cardio. For toning you shouldn't lift more than 10 pounds, and even then 10 pounds is kind of heavy.
Avatar n tn Not sure over overall weight but obviously weight loss. Weight training "tightens things up" with light weights/high reps. Endermologie and things like that don't work but if you have more fat on legs than elsewhere Coolsculpt gets decent reviews.
Avatar f tn use light weights and lots of repetitions to improve your muscular endurance. The more muscular endurance the less body fat and the more toned you will look.
Avatar f tn Hi there and thanks so much for posting this question I would suggest that at your age you are careful with changes in your metabolism. What is metabolism? Metabolism is a collection of chemical reactions that takes place in the body's cells. Metabolism converts the fuel in the food we eat into the energy needed to power everything we do, from moving to thinking to growing. If you want to lose weight The safest amount of weight you can lose is anything from .5 to 2 lbs a week.
Avatar m tn To figure out why men aren't getting the results they want, and what they can do instead. Fitness tips for training your largest muscle groups. Follow the rules! Build a Better Back "Scapular retraction" in the weight room, it's a muscle action that strengthens the middle part of your trapezius, one of your back's biggest muscles. The movement: Pull your shoulder blades (scapulae) together in back (retracting them).
Avatar f tn Otherwise you should body weight exercises that can improve your resistance training although with this type of training you need to be careful since your heart needs more calorie burning so i will suggest to add whole body movements and add lengthy resting periods of time. Muscle weighs more than fat and strength training promotes the development of lean muscle. References Ask The Dietician: Underweight Mayo Clinic: Underweight?

Avatar m tn Thanks . I feel much better with warfrin 2.5mg to prevent stroke.as there is flutter during ecg . There is no more strong heart beat since controlled by pacer.Will try more frequent exercise.
Avatar m tn In order to loose weight you need to eat less calories than you require and do some cardiovascular training like HIIT .. lifting weights also burns calories and burns fat + keeps you metabolism high ... for strength nothing beats workout .. and abs too .. you need to train them for strength .. and for protein shakes .. go for optimum nutrition 100% whey protein .. thats the best ..
Avatar f tn You can perform this exercise by holding a cable pulley machine and rotating your shoulders to pull the weight across your body. Perform 10 repetitions per side and repeat for a total of three to five sets. Mark Verstegen, owner of Athletes' Performance training facility and author of “Core Performance,” suggests that pillar bridges are a top core exercise for building overall stability and strength in the abdominal's and obliques.
Avatar f tn Start with simple exercises such as leg slides, bridges and kegels, then move to more intense exercises such as crunches, leg lifts and planks. Perform two to three sets of 10 to 15 repetitions for each abdominal exercise, two to three times a week. Google each exercise and you will see how to do them. Give yourself time!!
5539486 tn?1369499666 Ask your doctor when you can start aerobic exercise and strength-training. When you get the OK then do the following! abdominal and core exercises. Start slow with a simple bridge exercise. Lie on the floor and raise your knees, keeping your feet flat on the floor, Lift your hips towards the ceiling slowly and return to the start position. Do four to eight repetitions, increase the amount as it gets easy. Add crunches, side bends and sit ups.
Avatar f tn Bend your torso to the left to lower the weight along the side of your leg and then to the right to lift the weight. Continue this movement pattern for at least 12 repetitions, then switch sides. Put on ankle weights and hold a dumbbell in each hand, then lie face down on the floor with your arms extended forward. Lift your arms and legs simultaneously to squeeze your lower back, then return to the starting position slowly then repeat.
