I am 5'11" and currently around 240 lbs. My goal is to look kinda like those guys and the world's strongest man.

Answer
You need to eat food, not supplements.

Protein is the most misunderstood nutrient in bodybuilding. I don't have the space to tell you all you need to know so I'll just hit the high spots and if you need more info, you can message my Yahoo account.

Don't listen to muscleheads, gym rats, bodybuilders, personal trainers, and even coaches about protein. Most of them believe what decades and $$$$millions in supplement advertising have been telling them...that they need a lot of protein to build muscle. Not true. Here's how much you need according to the best minds in the world at the US CDC, the people our doctors (in the US) listen to. --> http://www.cdc.gov/nutrition/everyone/basics/protein.html#How%20much%20protein You can easily get that amount of protein with a glass of milk and a chicken breast or piece of meat per day.

Bodybuilders don't work as hard as they would like to believe. Construction workers, migrant field hands, movers, UPS drivers, etc. all work much harder every week. And none of those people worry about protein or take supplements for their jobs. They just eat a good diet and their bodies adapt with no problem. A bodybuilder can only work out 10 hours a week at the most because of the recovery time required by the muscles. Marathon runners, boxers, Olympic athletes, Navy SEALs, Army Rangers, etc. all train much harder and they do it without supplements.

Most protein supplements are scams. According to the US National Institute of Health, you should use supplements only when recommended by a doctor. ---> http://ods.od.nih.gov/Health_Information/ODS_Frequently_Asked_Questions.aspx#Need That's good advice because the government does not require testing and the information on the label does not even have to be in the bottle. Supplements have minimal FDA controls so you don't know what you're getting when you buy a supplement.

Check out this list of over 60 dangerous supplement products sold with bogus advertising claims which scam-site bodybuilding.com was forced to recall and take off the market --> http://www.usrecallnews.com/2009/11/bodybuilding-com-supplements-recalled-may-contain-steroids.html .

Go here --> http://www.usrecallnews.com/page/2?s=protein and page through the products to see how many protein supplements have been recalled for Samonella poisoning and other reasons.

All you need to make the gains you can is food. There is an abundance of information to prove this point. So, I will give you examples and cite references in the space I have left. Just be sure to ask yourself if you ever saw any good scientific evidence suggesting you need 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight or more. The answer will be no. That's a huge myth. And, all the naysayers who disagree with me will not have any good science for you. All they'll have are ads, phony reviews, bogus testimonials, false scientific sounding white papers, bad blogs, scam sites, etc. all paid for by scammers like this one. ---> http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=5196740n&tag=related;photovideo

Hereâs a white paper which debunks the myth of the protein supplement. Note the following excerpt...âAt present there is no evidence to suggest that supplements are required for optimal muscle growth or strength gain.â
Ref: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15212752

Here's one more study to read. Note the excerpt..."Consumption of a recovery drink (whey protein, amino acids, creatine, and carbohydrate) after strength training workouts did not promote greater gains in FFM (Fat free muscle) compared with consumption of a carbohydrate-only drink.â
Ref: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15105028

Hereâs another from Live Science. Note the excerptâ¦âMedical researchers have advised against protein supplements for years for the average person. But many sports trainers continue to push them on amateur athletes simply because they don't know any better.â
Ref: http://www.livescience.com/health/protein-supplements-100202.html#

Here's what Consumer Reports had to say ---> Ref: http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/magazine-archive/2010/july/food/protein-drinks/overview/index.htm

If you have any doubts about the citations and references above, talk to the person who understands best how your body works....your doctor.

Now, watch this video --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4_UY_kIPFU

Good luck and good health!!

What do baseball players say to each other?

best watches for runners men image

Q. I've notices this while watching baseball games on television. When the batter gets a hit and goes to first base, before the pitcher faces the next batter the baserunner and first baseman will talk to each other. What do they say?

Answer
They often talk about how they got on base. They'll say "nice hit" or "good eye man" stuff like that, because they're all baseball players and they can relate. Some know eachother and will ask about how their family is doing and stuff like that. Some guys talk trash playfully, some guys just talk about random stuff trying to get into your head (Kevin Millar). The more they talk to the runners, the less focused they are on the actual game, so they can be picked off or make a stupid decision.

Is there a watch that looks like the Nike sport swatch but is less expensive?

top sport watches for runners image

Phoenix

I like the way the Nike sports watch looks, the way it's big, and it pops, and the screen with the two big numbers on the top and the bottom. But I really don't want to spend $150 on the watch. I'm not a runner and I don't want a watch that I'll need to charge, so if anyone knows of a watch that looks similar, thanks.

Answer
I think you go for nike

How much would great runners like Kenenisa Bekele get paid if they lived in America?

Q. Kenenisa Bekele, Haile Gebreselassie and many other Ethiopian and Kenyan Runners are the top runners in the world. They own the record for over 5-10 events and win cross country championships 5 years in a row (I looked it up). What if these elite athletes lwere born here in the USA. Would they be famous? Would many people love to watch the sport of running more? Any answers would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time?

Answer
They would be famous.....but really only to those who care about running or watch running events. They probably be like a average baseball player....if you care about the sport, sure you'd recognize them while out. If not you wouldn't even know they were famous. Don't know if it would draw much more interest in people watching the sport.....it's just not a thing spectators like to watch.

What is the best way to deal with shin splints, and how do I prevent them?

running watches soleus image

Katie T

Answer
Shin splints are extremely common among runners, and luckily it can usually be treated with some simple exercises to strengthen your tibialis muscle.

First, a quick anatomy lesson so you can understand what's going on here.

Shinsplints are usually the product of an underdeveloped Tibialis Anterior -- which is just a fancy name for the muscle on the front of your shin.

http://www.exrx.net/Muscles/TibialisAnterior.html

This is the muscle that allows you to pull your toes up toward your knee -- it also comes into play when you are running or walking down hill. In many people, this muscle is out of balance with the stronger gastrocnemius and soleus muscles (which are to the rear of your calf), which tends to get a lot of exercise just by walking or running on even surfaces everyday.

This imbalance is probably what you are experiencing.

There is actually a really simple, but little known exercise that can strengthen the tibialis and pretty much banish shinsplints.

Here is a link to one variation, performed on top of a couple of plates:

http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/TibialisAnterior/DBReverseCalfRaise.html

You can accomplish the same thing by standing on a 2x4 or similar raised surface and, flexing at the ankles, pull your toes upward.

You can also perform this by placing a lightweight dumbell between your feet and flexing at the ankle. Go here to see a picture (you'll need to scroll down to the calves area):

http://health.yahoo.com/topic/fitness/healthyhabits/article/mens-health/5491

I'm a big fan of this exercise and have watched it work wonders for people with shin splints. Perform it one to two times a week, and work your weight up over time. Aim for 15-20 reps, 3 sets.

Best of luck!

Does anybody have the Soleus GPS 1.0 running watch?

I know the watch tells me my mile time for each mile, but does it tell you your actual pace throughout while running? If so, how do you get there? I lost the directions. thankyou !

Answer
If you click the view mode while the GPS is engaged, you should be able to see different view options that include seeing your distance, time, current speed, calories burned, etc. If you still need some help please visit our GPS page below where we have a Quick Start Guide link as well as a GPS Training Video.

What are the pros and cons of Garmin forerunner 210 vs 405?

sports watch review gps image

Ashley

Which is the best?

Answer
Garmin Forerunner 210 with Heart Rate Monitor

http://amzn.to/f32FYc

PROS:
Very simple to use
Good size for woman's wrist
Could use as a regular watch due to it's size
GPS connects fast
Power save mode
Has pace, distance, intervals, etc

CONS:
The battery contacts are tiny and tricky to get in place
Heart rate monitor strap seems very soft and pliable but cuts into my skin.

................................

Garmin Forerunner 405 Wireless GPS-Enabled Sports Watch

http://amzn.to/fyGEUZ

Pros.

1. Normal size - Unlike the 305, which I would not wear, the 405 is a regular watch. I wear it all the time.

2. Everything in one device - HR, pace, distance, elevation, laps.

3. Pace - I thought the whole GPS thing might be a bit too high-tech for a guy who loves the simplicity of running, but it is very, very nice to know your pace as you run. I use Hal Higdon's training plans, which call for all kinds of runs, with warm-ups, intervals, tempo intervals, pace segments, etc. The pace feature makes doing these workouts possible without having a coach at your side.

4. GPS frees you from mapping out your route. You just run until it shows your distance is done. The Garmin Connect site then shows your map. This doesn't sound so amazing, but it is very liberating. You just run wherever you want, explore your neighborhood, whatever. It transforms city running.

5. Auto laps. Great feature. Records all your details (time, HR, pace) for each lap automatically. You can review on the watch or on Garmin Connect.

6. The Garmin Connect website is very good and continually improving, with new features every couple of months.

7. The data seems pretty accurate, based on a track workout. In a recent 10K race, it recorded 10.2K, but some of that variation is certainly due to my weaving among the crowd. All GPS devices have a margin of error.

Cons:

1. Battery life - with GPS enabled, it needs a charge every couple of days to avoid the dreaded "low battery" warning in the middle of a workout.

2. The USB stick for wireless transfer. It works, but Nike does it better. The Nike+ pop-out USB stick is a much simpler way to transfer data to the computer and a much better way to keep from losing the USB part.

3. It can take a couple of minutes to find satellites and loses accuracy in bad weather. But this is probably true of any GPS device.


...................................

All in all, I would go for the Garmin 405. It is an incredible training device, the best choice in the market. 5 stars.

Which polar heart rate monitor model is better between FT40M and RS300?

Ed Turner

Which polar heart rate model would you recommend between the FT40M and RS300X?
I'm an FT7 owner, and i don't see much difference between the FT40M and the one i have right now. How come the FT40M is a bit more expensive than RS300? I feel (for the look of the pics in the website) that the RS300 is more complete.
I'm interested in running; i really don't mind not having ALL the features a Polar heart rate monitor could offer.

Answer
I recommend neither.
I'm not a fan of HR training, especially for beginners. HR training is for those individuals who are very experienced and very educated on exercise and fitness. HR monitors aren't 100% correct and don't always work either, so you can't feel dependent on them. Once you have a lot of experience with training you will know what your HR is just by paying attention to your effort level for your body. I can guess my HR very accurately, so a HR monitor for me would be a huge waste of money (and mine was).
If you are interested in running, just go running. Why spend tons of money before you try out a sport for a while and know it's something you want to do and it's something you want to train seriously for? Especially because as a beginner you should be paying 100% attention to your body, not HR numbers.

Some people really enjoy HR training and there are many benefits to it. I personally just think that once you have experience you can HR train without a HR monitor because you will learn to feel where your HR is without having to be told by a device.

I see them as a waste of time and money because training based on milage and effort does the exact same thing HR training does.

I would spend a lot of time looking at reviews of each kind and see what consumers have to say about them. Some HR monitors are chest straps that require that they are wet to function. In my experience, these don't work (at least mine never has, but I have the worlds worst brand of GPS watch, Garmin).

What do I need to do to look good by my wedding?

running watches calories burned image

lisha23346

I'm getting lipo in two weeks and have been running 3 miles daily, watching calories and taking Alli. My wedding is in November.. what can i do to be sure I dont gain back the weight before then?

Answer
Lift weights! Your a girl, so it is impossible to for you to get bulky, you have no testosterone. Lifting weights is the best way to loose weight, it increases your metabolism so you burn more calories at rest. Also as far as the cardio goes, you need to challenge yourself. A simple way of explaining it is this: When you are 4 years old, you go to kindergarten. At first you learn some, but if you were to stay in kindergarten for 20 years would you be genious? No! Exercise is the same way, you must challenge yourself each time to do more. I highly recommend a Personal Trainer.

When you are in legal trouble, who do you see? A Lawyer.
When you are sick, who do you go to?
A Doctor.
When you have financial problems, who do you go to? A accountant
When you want to get in shape, who do you go to? A Personal Trainer!

No offense, but you would of got a way better deal if you had decided agaist lipo and just got a personal trainer. Lipo patients gain the weight back 90% of the time.

How many more calories do you burn running a mile outside rather than on a treadmill?

<36564576

I've heard that it is much better exercise running a mile outside, than it is running one on a treadmill. Is this true? If so, how many more calories do you burn per mile outside? PLEASE answer lol I want to know whether I should break my neck to run at the track or not. THANKS! [:

Answer
I wish I can tell you how many calories you burn, but there are watches that detect your heart rate and from there you should be able to calculate you BMR. However, from my experience, it is much more of a workout running on natural terrain than a actual belt. I believe treadmills are more for breathing conditions, in which they may be helpful. But it's not like the real deal like running in the park. You sweat more and tire quickly!

Module for motorcycle tail light that pulses fast on running and goes solid on brake?

watches running on light image

Tony

I am looking for a module for my motorcycle's tail light. My lights are always on, and I am wondering if there is a way I can make my tail light pulse quickly when the lights are on normally, and go solid on braking. I did some research, and flashing running lights are illegal where I live, but pulsing should be ok. It will just get more attention, I need it because all the drivers are so bad with motorcycles in the city. If anyone knows how I could make it happen, I was thinking it would be maybe a module or even a modulated light, but I've looked for hours and hours to no avail. Maybe a homemade circuit or module even? Anyone who has any ideas, Any help would be great!
By the way Keith, I would have thought so too but I have seen a few bikes around with them on, so I would assume with the amount of police we have around that they would be OK. I understand what you are saying though, I might call up and ask someone at the RTA

Answer
would be possible with a three-wire light and winker relay. wire the brake portion normally and the winker in line with the running portion...
Really I would suggest you not do that but instead just ride intelligently and watch your ass when stopping at a light or traffic buildup. Make sure you have a way out of a situation with a texter or someone sleeping at the wheel, and always stay out in front. no need for extra-obnoxious lights.

A month of diet and exercise without ANY results, will it ever work?

Crazykid C

I am 5'5" and a female and I weigh 150 pounds. I've been counting calories, drinking only low fat soy milk and water, eating a lot on fruits, vegetables, and whole grains and watching my protein. I've also been running, lifting (light) weights, and using the exercise bike for at least 45 minutes a day and really been tiring myself out. All of this for a month so far, with not even the tiniest change on the scale or in my physique. Not even the smallest indication that I've worked out hard for a month. Am I about to start seeing results but panicking a little early? Or am I just wasting my time?

Answer
With your counting of the calories that you consume, you should be able to figure out how many daily calories it takes for you to stay the same weight (support calories).

To lose one pound of fat, you need to take in 3500 calories less than the support amount. if you take in 3500 calories less than support during a period of three days you will lose one pound in those three days. At the same rate you will lose ten pounds in 30 days.
As you diet, your support calorie amount will change. Be sure to monitor it.

Here is the address for a great diet method and a ton of diet tips, hope it helps you.

how to stay motivated to keep jogging?

Kelsey

i figured i would start jogging to get in better shape. i try to jog a little bit at night but i absolutely HATE doing it. i get bored and tired easily. i have to talk myself into getting up and jogging and then when i do i just wish i would be done already. any ideas on how to stat motivated to get out there and jog?

Answer
1. Find a jogging partner
Make fixed appointments for running a number of times per week. You will be less tempted to skip, because you have the appointment.

2. Jog with a dog
The dog will be overly excited or grateful every time he sees you with your running shoes. If you don't have a dog, look for the loud one in the neighborhood and propose the neighbor to take him out a couple of times in the week. The dog will enjoy his run and the neighbour will enjoy the relaxed dog afterward.

3. Listen to music
Make some playlists for jogging or buy some running music
http://www.amazon.co.uk/101-Running-Songs/dp/B002NXNZRC

4. Track your runs using an electronic device and participate in online running challenges.
There are a number of devices that can track the distance and speed of your runs. The cheapest one is the nikeplus system (only 30 USD - if you have a ipod), but you can have a decent garmin forerunner 305 watch for 130 USD. The fun part is when you join challenges on Nikeplus or runkeeper.

How do you keep from getting discouraged in running?

running watch km image

PackersFan

This is my first year running cross country and by the end of the season I went from 32 minutes to under 27. My friend, who plays volleyball but doesn't do any sports like running, ran a 5k yesterday and got 26:37. It took me 3 months to just get under 27. How do you keep from getting too discouraged? More running?

Answer
I have won numerous 5 km national races.That does not mean that I can run well in a cross country race. You are comparing apples to oranges. Also, how many years more has he/she been playing volleyball. You are in your first year. You should go to the library and get some motivational books on running. Listen to some champions tell you how hard it was to succeed and how much you have to work for it.

Imagine being a football player who wants to go to the annual national championships. They do not get there in a year and by laying on a couch watching tv.

How is it possible that cricket batsmen are able to handle 145 km/hr deliveries for boundaries?

cricket

Most ordinary people can't even touch a ball this fast with their bat, let alone hitting it for 6 or 4 runs. So do these batsmen have super-eyes or extremely fast wrist movement?

Answer
Think of it like this, there are only a handful of batsmen in the world that will have this talent to do that consistently and be able to represent their country, the other 99.9999% of us mere mortals can only watch in awe.

What is a good, yet inexpensive GPS watch for running?

best watch for running with gps image

Joseph

I'm looking for a GPS watch that isn't too bulky, isn't too expensive, and comes with renowned, interactive software that my girlfriend can use without throwing a fit and kicking my computer. It doesn't need to have a heart rate monitor and it doesn't have to be gender specific.

Also, I am willing to download software if there are better ones out there for running. I know all about Map My Run, but I'd rather have it work with the watch.

Thanks

Answer
I really like Garmin GPS watches and the Garmin Forerunner 405 is probably the cheapest in the series that still has GPS capabilities.

Will running on a cruise ship's track with my gps watch mess up the distance?

j157330

Hi, I am going on a cruise soon and was wondering if when I run on the track that is on the cruise, will the distance and pace results of my Garmin Forerunner 450 (gps running watch) be messed up because of the ship's motion?

Answer
Although I don't have such a watch, I'm quite sure the answer is yes. GPS determines the longitude and latitude and calculates distance, speed, etc from that. Your cruise ship should have a sign on the walking deck that states how far one lap is.

What should I do to get into great running shape?

Tinker

I am 17 years old, a female. I weigh around 135 and am about 5'1. I am not in the best shape, and would to be able to lose about 15 lbs in about 3 months. I can walk for miles, but running and I don't get along. yet. Any suggestions on how to get in great shape, being able to run for longer periods of time? and about water, is it good or bad to drink a ton just before running?

Answer
I am a big proponent of the couch to 5 K running program (C25K). It's a walk to run program and its one of the best.

The C25K program slowly increases your effort over 9 weeks. I did it and I really liked the fact that I could see each week I was making progress and I never really felt like it was too hard.

You will have to get a sports watch that can be programmed to do intervals. I really like Timex watches; the trainer line is pretty good. And some of them have Heart Rate Monitors which is a nice way of monitoring your effort. Casio makes a interval timer that's simple and inexpensive, W756-1A, you can find it at amazon for $20. Or buy a Gymboss for $20. All the Gymboss does is time intervals, but its real simple to use and program.

If you have an iPod, you can download a podcast that is the couch to 5 K program and you won't even need a watch. And if you have an iPod touch or iPhone, you can download the Interval Run app for $2. It is easy to use and is pre-programmed with the C25K and several other programs.

If you're really thinking of getting a heart rate monitor, and you don't have an iPhone, then take a bigger plunge and get a GPS Heart rate monitor watch. They have the interval timers built in, and you can monitor both your distance and your effort. I like the Garnin 405.

Once you graduate from the C25K program they have other programs that are more advanced. I still do intervals once in a while. A lot of runners do them once a week. So you can plan on using your timer for a long time.

Americans, will you hold GWB to account for running your country into the ground?

running watches large numbers image

AU

Now that GWB has run your country into the ground - with the wheels coming off of everything; some of your largest, oldest, greatest companies folding; stocks and pensions diminished to nothing; millions lost their homes or facing foreclosure; millions of jobs lost, 2 wars that have served to NOT make you safer, the biggest deficits and debts ever, etc etc, etc ->

Ironically, its his infamous "mission accomplished" but all backwards...kind of backfired.

Will someone ask him to explain what he's done and if he's happy with the sad state of affairs his leaving behind?

Answer
Apparently you don't live in the USA, for you said "running YOUR country" into the ground. Since I live here, the sky isn't falling. Some businesses both large and small are folding, but they always do in good times and bad. Some will reorganize, change management, and do other things to stabilize themselves. People have lost jobs before, then they find jobs again. This is a reevaluation time, and people and companies have to do that.

Are the wheels coming off of EVERYTHING? I don't think so. Two wars, and not another terrorist attack on USA soil in over 8 years...I am proud of President Bush and his administration for keeping our country safe. I also understand the cyclical market and how it goes up and comes down.

Stocks and pensions haven't diminished to nothing unless they had some bad stocks. But that won't hurt them unless they need to sell them right now in the strange market. Stocks are still holding, many at lower rates, but many will rise again. Some companies and people are buying and others are selling. The market is reacting not only to the economic conditions, but to fear and panic, and much fluxuation can be due to a new incoming president. His agenda doesn't support businesses in the same way that has been done, so companies are choosing how to deal with the little information they have on policies to come. Stocks fall and then they rise again.

It is unfortunate that so many people are losing their homes because they got involved in shady mortgages. People that buy homes should be able to pay for them. If they didn't understand the clauses in a mortgage, why didn't they go to someone who could explain the terms to them? Many banks are now working with people to get them real mortgages so they can stay in their homes. Those that were responsible for writing bad mortgages will no doubt be prosecuted, and those agencies that intimidated banks into making those loans will hopefully go unfunded, i.e., ACORN.

We do have huge deficits by spending on a war and by the overspending by Congress. We'll see how the new administration addresses the issues.

I am sure President Bush doesn't want to be leaving right now. He would like to see things through. He isn't to blame for the economy. There has been a domino effect of one issue compounding another. Congress was warned 3 or 4 times to deal with Fannie and Freddie, but they put their heads in the sand, and the Democrats in charge said there was no problem. When will they face the music? I am sure he is more fearful than we are about putting the country into the hands of a neophyte.

President Bush doesn't have to explain anything to me, I can read and analyse situations. History is recorded. He is leaving at a time, when I wish he could stay. His mission is accomplished, he has served us well through thick and thin.

I would rather listen to President Bush's words than listen to an inexperienced, arrogant, please 'em all.

If the USA isn't your country, why are you getting involved in our politics? How can you accurately judge or assess our problems? I certainly wouldn't try to emphatically state opinions about the economy and situation of another nation if I didn't live there.

Our media is also into drama, lots of drama, so I prefer to watch what is happening in my state, and am more concerned with my locale and how people are being affected. The people are resiliant, and they learn to be more cautious, as do companies, and the markets always return. Cautious optimism will replace the doom and gloom. I see the unemployment numbers, and know there is a problem for many families, many of whom have never gone through an economic downturn. Now they will become resourceful and they will handle this. They just have to know they can. Our government doesn't hold a magic key, the people do.

How many miles do you have to walk to lose 3500 calories?

!

Or run but walking would be easier. Both i guess.
an exact answer would be nice!

Answer
An exact number is not possible without you supplying a missing piece of information: your weight. The more you weigh, the more calories you burn while exercising, whatever form of exercise you're talking about.

Another factor you haven't mentioned is your running and walking speeds. The faster you move, the more calories per mile you burn.

I'll assume you're the average weight for an American woman today, which is approximately 162.9 pounds, according to the first website listed below. We'll round off to 163 here, and plug that into the calories counter from the second website listed below.

Let's also assume your running speed to be seven miles per hour and your walking speed to be three miles per hour. To burn 3500 calories, you have to run at a pace of seven mph for 247 minutes, just over four hours. That would be a total of 29 miles to burn that many calories while running at that pace.

Walking at a pace of three miles per hour means you would have to walk about 650 minutes, or just under eleven hours. At three miles per hour, this would mean walking almost 33 miles to reach this calories expended goal.

Keep in mind that these figures were calculated using hypothetical figures for both your weight and speed. The faster you move, the more calories you burn per unit distance. You can find the exact numbers by plugging in your actual weight and speed into the calories counter.from the second website listed below.

As you can see, it's a whole lot easier to consume 3500 calories than it is to burn them off, so make sure to keep close watch on what you put into your mouth. It takes a lot less time to eat a large supreme pizza with about 3500 calories than it does to walk 33 miles to burn them all off.

Why do women wear skimpy clothing?

running watches decathlon image

Chavannes

I was watching a decathlon/track/running sports tv broadcast. And I notice that the men wore rather skin tight shirts with short sleeves and a bit loose shorts a little above the knees, but when it was the women turn, they wore short short spandex, basically underwear, and tank tops or crop tops with no sleeves, exposing their belly. Is there some physical issue between the two clothing with gender or anything like that?

Answer
Sprinters and really all competitive runners wear as little clothing as possible, so that it doesn't hold them back. All runners wear spandex, and an athletic top (spandexy material) or a sports bra. It's not that they're wearing skimpy clothing to skank it up, it's to give them an advantage. What's easier to run in? A t-shirt and baggy shorts? Or spandex and a sports bra? It's the runner's preference to what they want to wear. If you look up female olympic sprinters on google images, you'll see that almost every one of them wears a sports bra and spandex underwear or short spandex.

What is your convertible car seat? Do you like it?

monmon

What is its weight and height range? How much does it cost?
I am looking for a good safe convertible car seat because my baby will outgrow his infant car seat soon.
Any advice?

Answer
Avoid 3-in-1s for 2 reasons. First, by the time your child is needing a booster seat the plastic is going to be close to expiring or expired. Second, the IIHS last year did tests on existing boosters and found a LOT of them aren't that safe, especially the 3-in-1s tended to not be as safe. I expect that booster seats in a year or two are going to have better standards, and since we're talking a 4-8 year old in a booster, it's worth getting one that's safe (and it's not like all of them are expensive, one of the safest boosters cost in the $20's.)

Look for rear-facing high weight limits. You want your child to ride rear-facing to 2 years old (according to the AAP.) Also, we had a car seat from safety first and it just didn't hold up, so I really don't like their seats. :/ We currently have a Graco My-Ride and a Britax Decathlon (they don't make them anymore.)

Graco My-Ride rear-faces to 40lbs and has a height of something like 42inches, then goes to 65lbs and a height of 49 inches. It has cup holders which my daughter loves. It runs from $129-$150 about.

The Britax Decathlon they don't make that often anymore. The most comparable version is the Marathon, and Britax has just released a new line that is the Marathon 70. Rearfacing it goes to 40lbs and 70lbs forward facing, but the same 49 inches height. They run about $300.

If you want to save money though, watch for sales. Like there's always coupons for 20% off at Toys-R-Us, and that can help with costs. I like the Britax for the safety ratings and the steel frame, but the Graco is great with rear-facing and just a good seat all around.

The only seat I know of that seems to seat a taller child would be the Radian XTSL. They run $300 about, but rear-face to 45lbs, forward to 80lbs, can use a latch system until 80lbs, and are made from steel (making them heavier, but also not as wide and the expiration is 8 years instead of 5-6 years.)

I'm 16 and want to start investing in the stock market. What are some of long term options?

superlott

I have more or less $50-60 dollars that I want to start investing for the long run. What kind of stocks will do best for me in the long run? What stocks are safer and which are more risky?

Answer
Congratulations on getting started at a young age. Itâll help you more than you know! You ask a very broad question, so be prepared for a pretty long answer. Just take it in chunks!

How to invest depends on what you already know. We'll assume that you're beginning.

A good primer is How to Make Money in Stocks by William O'Neil. You can get it cheap just about anywhere. Itâs widely available new or used.

Another good one is one of Jim Cramer's books.

But books will only get you so far. At some point, you'll also want to get at least a little training. There are some great education companies if you want to make the investment. Investools.com or optionetics.com are both very good companies as is tmitchell.com

For free, you can start by visiting thestreet.com. That'll get you a pretty good primer so at least you'll understand what the markets are and what a stock is, etc. If you get a chance, watch Mad Money on CNBC. Don't trade any of his picks. Just use the show to get you to understand some basics and get a feel for the market itself.

Next, subscribe to something like investorsbusiness daily or something like that that can help you identify good stocks.

*** Do a quick search (at the top of the page) on ROTH IRAs. Youâll want to put some money in there. ***

Once you understand stocks, go to 888options.com. It's a website that'll help you understand options (what they do, how they work, etc). You don't need to trade them, but the more you know, the more you'll see how options can really be the safest way to invest (once you're educated).

As you get more advanced, you might want a technical analysis book like Murphy's Visual Investor or A Technical Analysis Course by Meyer.

If it's discipline (which is crucial to successful trading), probably Trading in the Zone by Mark Douglas or Mastering the Trade by John Carter

I know thatâs a LOT to absorb. Just take it one step at a time for now. Start with a book or two to give you an idea of where to begin.

Since you're starting with a smaller amount of money, you'll probably want to save up at least a few dollars so you don't get eaten up by commissions (around $10-15/trade). When you have say $200 or so, you can put it into an ETF or into a growth stock. Meanwhile, you can always papertrade to practice (highly recommended).

Start slow, then as you figure things out, you can buy more shares.

Congrats again on getting started. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Hope this helps!

Why does my house get hotter AFTER sundown?

running watches soleus image

Red_F

I can watch the temp rise as soon as the sun goes down. After it gets cooler outside (under 72) I open some windows (one with a fan in it) on opposite sides/ends of the house and make sure the outflow is slightly larger than the inflow so I don't create a backpressure situation. It can be 60 outside and even with the fan on all night I still can't get the house under 70 degrees.

The house faces the West so I know it is getting baked.

Any options to cool it faster? I have a big fan and use it on high. Why does it get hotter once the sun gets off it?
I keep the shade drawn ALL the time and have good insulation plus siding and the house is white. I have plenty of insulation in the attic PLUS a fan that moves 1400 cfm and I only have a 800 sq ft home. I open the attic at night to draw the heat out while sucking in cool night air. I have planted some trees on both front and back but it will take years to get tall enough to do much.

I get home at 6 and it's 78 in the house but by 9 it's 84 So it heats up 6 degrees or so in the first 12 hours and then an additional 6+ degrees in the next 3 hours.

Answer
It's the heat that the walls and floor have absorbed all day and even heat that's under the house. When it gets cooler outside, the heat wants to transfer out into the cooler area. It travels through the walls by conduction then into the air by convection.

http://www.houleinsulation.com/images/appleagte_facts_1_large.jpg

A 78 to 84 degree rise from 6:00 to 9:00. If you can afford it, you should consider getting a 5000 BTU window AC. It will cost you about $150 and then ~15 cents an hour to run. I'm sure it will be worth it.

Does anyone know how to get rid of shin splints?

Q. Always at the begining season of track I get really bad shin splints. I do all of the stretches and variables your supposed to do to prevent them, but I still get them. I usually ice it too, and lately I've been taking Ibproufen so I can't feel them when I run. Does anyone know how to get rid of them or prevent them?

Answer
This is a really common question, especially among runners. Luckily, it can usually be treated with some simple exercises to strengthen your tibialis muscle.

First, a quick anatomy lesson so you can understand what's going on here.

Shinsplints are usually the product of an underdeveloped Tibialis Anterior -- which is just a fancy name for the muscle on the front of your shin.

http://www.exrx.net/Muscles/TibialisAnterior.html

This is the muscle that allows you to pull your toes up toward your knee -- it also comes into play when you are running or walking down hill. In many people, this muscle is out of balance with the stronger gastrocnemius and soleus muscles (which are to the rear of your calf), which tends to get a lot of exercise just by walking or running on even surfaces everyday.

This imbalance is probably what you are experiencing.

There is actually a really simple, but little known exercise that can strengthen the tibialis and pretty much banish shinsplints.

Here is a link to one variation, performed on top of a couple of plates:

http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/TibialisAnterior/DBReverseCalfRaise.html

You can accomplish the same thing by standing on a 2x4 or similar raised surface and, flexing at the ankles, pull your toes upward.

You can also perform this by placing a lightweight dumbell between your feet and flexing at the ankle. Go here to see a picture (you'll need to scroll down to the calves area):

http://health.yahoo.com/topic/fitness/healthyhabits/article/mens-health/5491

I'm a big fan of this exercise and have watched it work wonders for people with shin splints. Perform it one to two times a week, and work your weight up over time. Aim for 15-20 reps, 3 sets.

Best of luck!

I had a dream about a meteorite crashing into earth. What does this dream mean?

running watches review 2013 image

Andrea

A few nights ago, I had the most vivid dream I ever had. It felt so real. In my dream I was standing outside my grandma's house and it was night time. I was right by the ocean, and I look out into the distance at the water, then I see a gigantic fireball across the sky and it comes crashing into an island. It looked as if it were a few miles away. I feel the vibrations of the meteorite hitting the ground. Then i see a wall of dust/dirt coming towards me really quickly. I ran inside and watched outside the storm door as flaming pieces of the space rock and earth come raining down. I don't remember what happened next, but I would like to know what this dream means. Any help would be appreciated <3

Answer
No worries, Andrea. The dream mostly means that you watched the news reports or videos about the meteor that crashed in Chelyabinsk, Russia, not too long ago (15 February, 2013.)

Your dream is not predicting any future event. Instead, your mind is using those images of the Chelyabinsk meteor to represent something that you feel anxious about in your own life. Dreams typically use exaggerated and overly-dramatic metaphors, so this terrifying meteor strike might relate to nothing more serious than your upcoming exams, personnel review or some other event that is stressing you out.

Where can I see the MLB Home Run Derby?

tri.du

Does ESPN replay the Derby or will it be available online somewhere? Not just highlights, the whole thing. I don't have MLB.tv or any other paid video service. Just basic cable and internet. Here's hoping someone knows where I can get it.

Answer
ESPN has scheduled the MLB Home Run Derby for replay at 3:00 am ET late tonight, (which is early Wed morning), after their reviews of the All Star game. The live airing was scheduled for 2 hours, but actually took 3 hours, from 9pm-11pm. I don't know if they will edit it to take less time for replays.

Since they ask for a log-in, you probably have to be a subscriber to ESPN-3 to watch it online here:

Should Liverpool stick with this formation against Aston Villa?

running watches liverpool image

Numb

No Gerrard, Torres and Carragher and we still won handsomely. I was dissapointed with Torres performance against Spurs. Ngog and Babel were doing great. I like the way Ngog running around.
May be our players are over relying on Gerrard and Torres when they play, limited their ability to perform.
I predicted we won 4-0, but 3-0 ain't that bad.

Answer
Yep I don't like watching Liverpool play 4-5-1, they create f*ck all chances and its extremely boring to watch.

I've been impressed with them since Woy switched it up to 4-4-2, there's been a massive improvement in the general performances.

How will Liverpool improve with Coutinho, Sturridge, and Suarez?

"Kevin" Vi

Sturridge has been very good, since he arrived in Liverpool he has played 4 games and has 3 goals, correct me if i am wrong Sturridge scored against Man C, Man U and I forgot the other player. The last 5 times I watch Internazionale, Coutinho was great I believe can do great with Liverpool. Luis Suarez has always been top level and a great player, and all other players has been doing great.

Not a fan of Liverpool but wish them to become a team they used to be.

Answer
Liverpool will play fabulously with the likes of Sturridge and Suarez. Suarez as a play is just wow. He's one of the most intelligent players in the premier league at present date. He's got great first touch, he's got great dribbling skills which he can maintain even when he runs at a fast pace, he's great at assisting players on goals or whatever needs assisting.. and he can also put the ball in the back of the net whenever needed!

Sturridge so far has been a great signing. The main reason for this is the chemistry that he has shown with Luis Suarez. Those two are working so well with each other, it's insane. Sturridge this season has scored in most of his appearances, and it doesn't like he'll be stopping.. and you have to remember he's on 19 or so, so there is always room for improving.

Honestly, I haven't really seen much of Coutinho so I can't answer that part of the question.

I am 5'7 and 198 pounds.... My friends dont think im fat im just chubby but when I looked at myself today I see something different.....

Please help!

Answer
This is a good tip that will help you lose weight and build muscle!!!
Building muscle and burning fat are common goals in today's health and image conscious society.

In order to build muscle and burn fat, you must focus on three core principles. You need the right materials, the right tools, and sufficient time to create the body of your dreams. To obtain the ultimate physique, you should:

Eat Right - Proper nutrition is extremely important, not only to fuel your workouts, but to provide the right building materials for your body to build muscle and burn fat. Nutrition is one of the most neglected areas of any bodybuilding or fat loss program. Considering the amount of conflicting information available, especially for people who want to build muscle or burn fat, it is no wonder that we often miss the target on nutrition.

So, what is nutrition? Nutrition is the process by which we take in and uses food and supplements for health, growth, and energy.

Foods contain a series of basic nutrients that the body uses for these functions. These nutrients are:


Macronutrients
Carbohydrates
Fats
Proteins


Micronutrients
Vitamins
Minerals


Water

Workout - A solid workout plan provides the tools for your body to use the building materials from your nutrition plan. We provide free workout plans designed to build muscle mass or burn fat.

How much weight could i lose in 8 week, by running everyday, and watching what i eat?

tall_but_c

No sugars, greasey foods and running ten laps over at the local playground(basically a parking lot). I'm really trying to slim thighs and lose inches.

Answer
One can safely lose 1-2 lbs./week with the expectation that you will keep it off if you continue to eat healthy and maintain a good exercise regimen. If you lost 2 lbs./week than in 8 weeks you would lose 16 lbs (not 25-40!).

Something to consider...you want to lose fat, not muscle. You will gain muscle from the exercise, which weighs more than fat so really looking at the scale isn't the best idea. You need a measuring tape which you can find at Target (looking in the ironing/sewing section) or at a local sewing store. Let the tape measure be your guide. You should track your *inches* lost since weight is relative to how much muscle mass vs. fat you have. Also consider part of your weight is bones, water, blood, your organs and any food that hasn't digested yet.

Start today and measure your arms, chest, waist, hips and thighs. Write the measurements down and keep recording once every week. By the end of 8 weeks you'll be pleasantly surprised at your progress and how great you look in the mirror, regardless of what the scale says! :-)
