I know I’m answering my own question, but I would like to know other people’s experiences with exercise and feeling mentally sharp. Please let me know of differences in mental acuity between weeks or months of not exercising and exercising regularly. I’m particularly interested in those people who have lost a lot of weight and the memory performance differences between being overweight and being at normal weight.

Experts say that exercise is great for the heart. On the other hand, they also say that when people are overweight, have high blood pressure or diabetes their heart works too hard. Then how is it that exercising and making your heart work hard a good thing? Can someone explain this contradiction?

Margaret asked:


Over the summer I want to start exercising; I wish to slim down my thighs and get a firm butt. Which is the best exercise machine (that would be available at a local YMCA) that could help me do these things? Also, when is it the least crowded at the gym?

Josh Finor asked:


I would just like to know what exercise could I do everyday at home to have better endurance(endurance for running)? And is stretching done only in the beginning of the exercise or after the exercise?

Thanks in advance!
I have a lot of snow outside of my house, so I can’t run outside,
but I’m looking for an exercise that can be done inside the house and that doesn’t require any equipment, if possible,
Thanks

curious asked:


I’m trying to lose weight. I’m only 15 years old and it’s hard for me to go to a gym or to buy exercise equipment to exercise in the house. The only thing really holding me back from going on a diet is exercise because i know it’s hard to lose weight without exercise. Could someone help me?

Stephen M asked:


I’m a 21 year old male, I’m 5′11″ and weigh around 13 and a half stone (188 pounds). I want to lose some weight quickly. A few months back I lost over a stone and a half in about three months just from eating a more sensible diet, with hardly any extra exercise. Unfortunately this weight has now crept back on again! I’d like to lose between a stone and a half and two stones more quickly now. Does anyone have any tips about how much daily exercise I should do – and what types also – in order to lose weight healthily and quickly? Thanks.

Lyra A asked:


When you exercise, what are some things to look out for when you’re trying to exercise to tone up but not to lose weight or inches? For example, should your heart rate not go up? Should you just exercise until you feel the burn, pause, then start again?

Thanks for the tips!

I’m a lanky 16 year old guy. I’m not in great shape, I run a 7 minute mile, which isn’t pathetic but isn’t good. I have no muscle. I have kind of bad posture and a few years ago a Physical Therapist gave me exercises to do (kneck stretch, shoulderblade stretch, rubber band pull, toe touch) to correct it. I’ve only been doing those every once in a while. My school schedule is very demanding (most days I wake up at 7 and study until midnight). I can only exercise at 6AM, but that means only getting 6 hours of sleep. Is that a healthy sacrifice to make? Assuming it is, I need to figure out which exercises to do. I must do posture exercises, aside from that I’d like to add muscle so I don’t look and feel so lanky, so I can gain confidence, look good, and be stronger. At the end, I should run for 15 minutes. What exercises can I do in 30 minutes to reach my fitness goals? I own dumbells and a rubber band. Also, when should I eat breakfast?

clarissa.explainsitall asked:


I am starting the South Beach Diet, and plan on exercising throughout to maximize my weight loss effort. However, I know that my body is going to feel very sluggish during the first 2 weeks as it is so adjusted to having an abundance of carbs. How critical is it to exercise during those first two weeks?
