Daniel asks…

How many calories are lost every time you do a press up?

I’m just wondering how many calories are burnt every time you do a full 1 press up.

Would I notice any difference in weight loss/muscle gain if I did about 200 press ups spaced out throughout the day?

This is a serious question so don’t post websites that offer you dieting pills or muscle gain pills that don’t work.

weight loss cardiff answers:

You will find different gram calorie calculators that will are readily available online, which could assist someone to obtain quantities with regards to your caloric intake, extra fat material inside your whole body, and basal metabolic processes of one’s body. Such stats undoubtedly make you aware of extra fat your whole body and level of body fat which appears to have been placed in your system. Lots of calories calculators might even give you advice on a gram calorie intake which usually you may go along with. Nevertheless, it’s usually safer to have a far more slower solution when it comes to fat loss. Some tips about what you’re able to do…

Sandy asks…

What is the best type of diet and exercise regimen to stick to while taking diet pills containing ephedra?

I’m not looking for a 600 calorie a day starvation diet, just what foods and kinds of exercise would maximize weight–loss results. (Please don’t use this as a thread to argue about the dangers of ephedrine and diet pills. This is something that I understand.)
I’m really wanting some input from someone who has actually taken pills containing ephedra before and knows a bit more than the usual diet and exercise advice.

weight loss cardiff answers:

If you’re trying to lose weight, it’s best to workout for longer periods of time at a low to medium intensity. Do cardio type exercises (jogging, elliptical, biking) for 60-90 minutes 5 days a week. Reduce the intensity as much as you need to in order to keep going for at least an hour. Then you can increase the intensity over time as your strength and endurance increase. Fat burning happens when your heart rate is around 50-65% of your max heart rate (220 minus your age).

For diet, you should eat approximately the number of calories required for your basal metabolic rate (BMR). This will keep your metabolism fast and prevent going into starvation mode while still losing a large amount of calories each day. See this site to find out what your BMR is: http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm

Donald asks…

How do I define light, moderate and heavy exercise via the stationary bicycle?

I am trying to compute weight loss via the online weight loss calculator, I am 174cm or 5 feet 7 and 156 pounds and I plan to reach about 134 pounds.

weight loss cardiff answers:

We just talked about this in my exercise sport science class. Moderate activity would be you working out with a friend and being able to carry on a conversation without being out of breath. The heart rate is increased and you should break a light sweat. Therefore, light exercise is very little change in the heart rate and no sweat, and heavey exercise would be to the point of exhaustion, sweat, and working toward the max heartrate.

Donna asks…

Can someone explain the personality change that comes with weight loss?

I noticed that sometimes when people who are really overweight go through dramatic weight loss, their personalities change– and sometimes not for the better. I know two people who not only became more confident, but more cocky as well! It’s like they suddenly believed being skinny made them better than everyone else, including their old friends, and they started acting like a**holes. Do you know anyone like this?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Weight loss can give you more confidence. In fact, the case is just the reverse. Once you start gaining weight, you lose your flexibility. You have to pay extra attention to how you can overcome the handicap of having a heavy body. This lessens your confidence. And, when you start losing weight again, your confidence is revived.

Anyways, are you trying to lose weight/. In that case, the following link would help oyu. It is a weight loss calculator.

Mark asks…

How to keep weight loss even after my metabolism has slowed down?

How to keep weight loss even after my metabolism has slowed down?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Your metabolism isn’t slowing down. That’s a myth.

One of the most common myths or misunderstandings in diet, nutrition, and fitness is that metabolic rate is responsible for a person’s natural tendency toward being fat or thin or muscular. Or that metabolic rate can be changed to help lose fat or gain weight. This is not true and easy evidence of that fact can be found here —> http://www.calculator.net/bmr-calculator.html where basal metabolic rate (BMR) can be calculated with only height, weight, sex, and age. If metabolism was responsible for gaining fat or staying thin, that natural tendency would have to be included in the calculation of BMR. It’s not. In other words, a naturally fat person and a naturally skinny person of the same height, weight, sex, and age will have the same metabolic rate. There will be no difference in their metabolism which means metabolism is not really a factor in natural tendencies toward being heavy or thin.

It’s important to understand this fact because it will put an end to the frustration that comes with trying to change the metabolic rate to create a specific effect such the loss or gain of body weight, fat, or muscle. Unless you have a real medical issue, your metabolism is fine and nothing you do is going to create more than a normal temporary change in metabolic rate.

If it’s important to you to blame something for being an easy or hard gainer, then blame your parents because those propensities are inherited…genetic. Or blame your soma (body) type (ecto, endo, or mesomorph). But don’t blame your metabolism because it is nothing more than the totality of the energy exchanges which happen every second of every day as required to sustain your life given the demands of the moment.

Most people would be well advised to not even use the word metabolism as it has no real relevance to the problems of being an easy or hard gainer. It makes no more sense to think about your metabolism in regard to diet or exercise than it does to think about your car’s horsepower when pressing on the gas pedal to go or the brake pedal to stop. If you’re concerned with losing fat, gaining weight, building muscle, or maintaining, follow good diet, exercise, and fitness strategies and your metabolism will take care of itself.

For more about metabolism, go here —> http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/metabolism/WT00006

It may seem difficult keeping fat gone but that’s only because you can’t continue with bad eating habits and expect that fat not to return. If rebound fat is your concern, just keep your calories down with smaller portion sizes and proper food selections.

Good luck and good health!
