I’ve been looking into do a simple, but effective workout routine. I have also read that isometric exercises both tone and enlarge your muscles, but retaining your strength too. I just want to know if there are any isometric exercises out there that can tone legs. Also do you burn any fat from isometric exercises.
Isometrics is based on the principles of creating muscular tension while opposing the force of an immovable object or gravity. Both, Yoga and Pilates are based on the principles of Isometrics: holding your body in a static, neutral alignment with body positions of Your choice.
Studies have shown that that a 7 second muscle contraction increases your strength by about 5 percent. You can also Google Dr. Theodore Hettinger and Dr. Eric A. Muller if you want to read more about it.
Yes you can and will lose fat when you do isometric exercises. Read up on isometric exercises on the web site below.
I just want to know.
They can actually both be effective. I prefer traditional crunches. Although it is best to change your routine so your body does not peak. Do traditional for a few weeks then switch to the ball and so forth.
I know that I need to change my diet and get an exercise plan together, but I have no idea where to begin. I’m at work or school most of my day, so I don’t have a lot of time to plan healthy meals or have a strict exercise routine. Any advice about generally eating better, and how I can incorporate exercise into my daily routine? Does anyone have meal ideas that are healthy and easy to make? Are there any specific exercises or routines anyone would recommend?
all you have to do is 45 minutes of cardio five days a week and cut calorie intake down to 1600 calories in 8-12 weeks u will feel and look greAT

The American College of Sports Medicine offers guidelines for cardiovascular, flexibility and resistance training. The guidelines are flexible enough to allow you to pick your own exercises but have enough structure to get you going when you first start out. They are pretty easy to follow and will make your workout easier and more efficient.

I am doing p.e home work and for it we have to explain a warm up for Anaerobic exerexercises and for Aerobic exercises. We have to mention the reason why the warm ups are different.
Please help.
Dynamic warm up and dynamic stretching are good for anaerobic exercise such as soccer, which is mostly using the anaerobic system . this should be sport specific
a good exercise for aerobics would be jogging for 5 or ten minutes to increase the body temperature in order to do an aerobic activity such as aerobics or jogging
I have had asthma since I was 2 years old, and suffer from exercise induced asthma as well as weather and food affected. Running is the worst for inducing asthma in me.
If I want to improve my asthma and my cardiac fitness, what is the best exercise for me to do?
light exercise and light swimming. because it is gentle and help develope your cardiac tissue. Donr over do it because the stress can make you drown or fall on a track. I have faults too because i have torn muscles in my knees. take time and do things very slow and you can do fun things , but please be careful. Also eat quality protein and fruit juice. Dont over do icant do it all. You can still be fit and healthy
Besides walking, swimming, all of the cardio exercises, I am wanting to know some good muscle toning exercises to do as well. I know of the Kegel exercises. I know that you can pretty much do any arm/shoulder exercises with dumbells just as easy while pregnant. What about for butt and thighs? Are squats/lunges okay? How about pelvic lifts? Any other good ones that you know of?
Squats and lunges are great, they prepare your muscles for birth, pelvic lifts are ok to an extent, at a certain point some docs will tell you to stay off of your back, others say if it is comfy no prob, talk to yours.
I’m really not into sports. I’ve tried badminton, volleyball, basketball, table tennis, and swimming, and I don’t like all of them. I’ve tried going to the gym, but I just can’t motivate myself to make it a habit. I’m trying to slim down a bit but I don’t know what exercise is good for me since I easily get bored with normal workouts and stuff. Can you recommend any fun sport/exercise/workout technique?
Getting a Wii and even a Wii fit will really help you. It’s really fun, and every game will help you to tone some of the parts of your body and lose some weight. If you get a dancing game or Wii Fit, it will help you even more. Wii Sports is also really good (mainly for your hand muscles!) You can also walk, or cycle which is also a lot of fun. Another suggestion is to turn on your radio and just start dancing! You will lose a lot of calories before you can even understand it!
I just got into a gym and don’t know how to exercise to be able to see muscles in my body. I’m pretty lean but don’t have any muscles to show for. What’s a good routine for this? Remember I’m just starting. I would like to mix it with some cardiovascular exercises.
Most gyms have personel trained in this sort of thing. A certified personal trainer should be able to show you the ropes and give you some ideas of where to start for your lifts.
