Very Easy Exercise

I am doing p.e home work and for it we have to explain a warm up for Anaerobic exercises and for aerobic exerexercises. 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 do almost an hour of exercise which includes anaerobic and aerobic exercises well i felt pain in my shoulders so i avoided exercises for 15 days now i am starting it again is it good

like i always say, it never hurts to exercise when nothing is stopping you.

I am a 44 year old male. I do weights on alternate days mostly for increased definition and some size increase. So far I feel I’m doing pretty well. I work out for about an hour. I use anywhere from 15 to 60 Lbs. I will increase weight if I can do the exercise well. On my alternate days I do aerobics. I use a rowing machine. I like the exercise because it’s demanding and provides upper body strenght training. My question is, is it wise to do rowing on non weight days? I’m concerned I’m not giving my upper body a chance to rest between weight training. I can use a treadmill for aerobics if I need to. I can also adjust the rowing machine so it doesn’t provide so much resistance. Thanks, Mike

I would try "high intensity interval training" (see wikipedia for more details and references). The newest treadmills on the market have the interval option built in where you can swap from the all out interval to the jog interval with the push of a button. (this can also be done on the rowing machine, bikes, steppers, etc.)

I’m assuming you’ve conditioned your cardiovascular system already, since this is not a type of workout to be done by unconditioned individuals. The benefits have been documented in scientific journals. HIIT burns more subcutaneous fat than conventional aerobic workouts and it stimulates the release of more growth hormone which will help increase your muscles mass, and thus stimulate your metabolism further.

Keep it up!

How much cardiovascular exercise should I do per week in order to burn fat off of my lower abs?
I’m only trying to shed little pockets of fat like love handles. I’m actually in pretty good shape, so I’m not afraid to try some tougher stuff.

Go for high intensity cardio exercise which burns more total calories and more fat as well.

You should cardio at least 3-4 times per week, for at least 30 mins per session, to burn off fat.

Here’s a guide on the best way to cardio to burn off fat:

So I know you are supposed to drink protein shakes like 30 minutes after lifting for maximum muscle repair but does that apply to aerobic exercises too like running and jump roping?

no, it’s not necessary if you are just doing aerobics. but you certainly can have one. you need to replenish the glycogen stores you used up. have your protein shake within 30 min of doing wts (you dont have to wait 30 min to have it).

Biking is a fun sport for people of all ages. It is a great way to incorporate exercise into your life, while having a great time doing it. Family and friends can bike together, at parks, on bike trails, or almost any place that they choose. It is the perfect sport for anyone, no matter if they are 6 or 60. All they have to do is go at their own pace, because any speed is beneficial. As long as it gets the body moving and the blood pumping, it is providing a great health boost.

There is no excuse for someone not to ride a bike. Even if they’ve never learned how to ride a bike with two-wheels, there are adult-size tricycles which don’t require balance to ride. All you do is hop on and start peddling.

Bikes come in all styles, colors and sizes. There are tiny tricycles for toddlers who are just learning what a bike is. Then there are regular two-wheel bikes with training wheels attached, for kids five and up who want to learn to ride. After they ride for a while with the training wheels on, and start to feel comfortable, they can then have an adult remove the training wheels so they can attempt to ride without them. It might possibly be scary for the child at first, and they will probably have a few falls and/or bruises, but they will soon discover that the fun and freedom bike riding was worth the effort.

After an older child has mastered bike riding, there are some other types of bikes that they can be tried out. Motorbikes, including kid-size motorcycles, are popular among youngsters. Some children feel that motorbikes are even more fun than traditional ones, but they’re not getting the aerobic workout that they get from non-motor bikes. This is because there is no need to peddle; the motor does all the work.

Bicycles can also include some handy and convenient gadgets. A favorite among adults and children alike, are baskets. Baskets come in various shapes, colors and sizes, and can be attached on the front of the bike, near the handle bars, or on the back. Some other popular gadgets include: Lights, horns, pedometers and saddles, and many more.

Due to the fact that there are numerous online retailers who sell bikes at great deals, there is no need to leave your home and drive all around town, looking for the best prices. Shop right online, from the convenience of your own home, and have that cool, new bike delivered right to your front door.

So, if you want to receive a great aerobic workout and have fun simultaneously, then try bike riding and you can’t go wrong.

I naturally have alot of muscle , but I have fat also . If i do aerobic exercises such as hulahooping, jogging and walking , will that burn the fat? I want ot use excerise to lose weight , not diet .

Aerobic exercise is also known as cardio exercise. It cranks up your metabloic rate to burn off excess bodyfat from your entire body.

Once that happens, you lose weight.

aerobic exercise will not boost muscle growth.

The aerobic exercises you mentioned are fine; they won’t stimulate muscle growth; they help you to burn off fat.

For your info, exercise that boosts muscle growth is strength-training exercise with weights.

You said you don’t want to "diet" to lose weight……

However, you don’t have to "diet" – just eat right based on a well-balanced, healthy weight loss nutritious diet – you’ll see results faster and would be able to permanently keep off the excess weight.

If you just exercise but don’t eat right, you’ll be putting in more calories than what you can expense off during exercise, hence no caloric deficit = no weight loss.

The bset combination is to exercise and eat right. It never fails. Try it.

Age is a state of mind, not a number, many people believe. But to make this maxim hold true, we must do all within our power to stay healthy and keep our bodies working as long and as efficiently as possible.

One of the best things than anyone can do to maintain good health is to follow a routine exercise plan, preferably one that includes 30 to 60 minutes of a daily workout. Ideally the program should be based on both aerobic and weight training exercises. A comprehensive workout tailored to your specific physical needs and abilities can help you get in shape and maintain a healthy body. Here are some tips to help you get started.

1. Check with your doctor. Get a physical examination to make sure your body is working as it should and able to support an exercise routine at this time. If you have an underlying condition, like diabetes or asthma, ask your doctor whether exercise could impact these conditions, and if so, what you should do to manage them. This is the time to report any new or changing symptoms as well, so these can be evaluated and treated, if necessary, to bring them under control. Ask your doctor to recommend an exercise program, or at least to set boundaries on what you should and should not attempt to do.

2. Choose a regular time. Some experts believe that morning exercise brings the best results, but activity at any type of day will help. Try to set aside a similar time slot each day so you can build a routine around it that will help you stay with the program and not miss sessions due to other commitments or interruptions. You may want to let family members and friends know you will be unavailable during this time, say between 6 and 7 p.m., most days of the week.

3. Start slow. Choose easy, light exercise activity to ease into a new routine. Walking around the neighborhood or on a treadmill is a terrific activity. Riding an exercise bike is another. You won’t need special clothes, either, except for comfortable tops and bottoms that will not restrict muscle movements. Swimming is another great way to have fun and burn calories while stretching muscles. Check your local YMCA or health spa for information about open pool hours or swim group programs.

4. Keep records. Write your starting weight, measurements, time, and activities, along with your resting heart rate. Each week, record updated information as well as your peak heart rate during your workout. Make sure you don’t exceed recommended limits. If you stay with your program, you should begin to see positive changes that will make you feel great, mentally as well as physically.

Continue to modify your exercise plan as you get older. In some cases you can increase activity as your body gets in better shape. At other times you may need to decrease or adjust your rate of activity. Whatever happens, your sense of well being and your overall physical health are sure to improve.
