How old should you be to do p90x?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well right now I am 13 years old and I am only on the 4th day of the first week but i can do it perfectly fine. It is hard but since I am younger its going to be a lot harder. Hopefully by the end of this I will be a really buff and healthy kid.

Anything above 14 is a good age to start, just don't try and be a big man and use really heavy weights, 'cause you'll just end up with a serious injury; go for lighter weights for more reps. I'm 16 and have done it three times in 2 years.

Does volleyball use aerobic exercise?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes. Lots of quick sprints, shuffles, and jumps really increase the heart rate, which is the point of aerobic exercise. Plus, this type of stop and go workout is similar to an interval workout, which is a very effective type of conditioning and fat loss workout.

What is an FITT?

F - Frequency - How often you do something can make a big difference. For example, if you walk a mile every day for 1 month, you are going to lose a lot more than if you walk a mile 1 day a week for 1 month.

I- Intensity - How hard your work out is, is also going to make a big difference. For instance, in weight training, the more pounds you lift the more gain.

T- Time - The longer you do something the more you improve on what you are targeting.

T- Type - Type helps you specify what you are working on.

All of these help you make a personalized fittness plan that you and only you can stick to and can improve yourself with.

How long would you have to walk to burn 72 calories?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This entirely depends on the pace at which you are walking, and what condition your body is in. Someone who is very fit, and very trim, will not burn 72 calories as quickly as someone who is not very fit or trim when walking at the same speed.

Lets say you were to walk at 3mph, which is about an average walking pace for many people. Based on your average weight, and walking at a speed of 3 miles an hour, you will burn calories at the following rate:

  • 130 to 140 pounds - 3.5 calories burned per minute
  • 145 to 155 pounds - 4.0 calories burned per minute
  • 160 to 170 pounds - 4.5 calories burned per minute
  • 175 to185 pounds - 5.0 calories burned per minute
  • 190 to 200 pounds - 5.5 calories burned per minute

So if you were to weigh 150lbs, it would take 18 minutes of walking. 18 minutes multiplied by 4 calories a minute equals 72 calories burned. Give or take.

Asked by Wiki User

A group of 2 or a group of 1000? Not enough information is provided to answer the question unless you meant "per person". This isn't included in the question and unfortunately for the asker, but actually very fortunately, in math, what isn't stated can't be assumed. Secondly, what kind of group exercise? Again, lack of information.

What does aerobic exercise do to your muscles?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The cardiovascular system (heart, lungs, and other big muscle groups) are strengthened during aerobic exercise through continuous, rhythmic movement. When you exercise, your muscles require more blood that is rich in oxygen, which causes your heart to pump more quickly to keep up.

What is the age of Zuzana light?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Zuzana LIght is an internet fitness instructor from the Czech Republic. Her older videos are hugely popular on YouTube, both under her brand Zuzka Light and the venture with her ex husband, BodyRocks. A respected fitness instructor, Zuzana's main "hook" is the claim that it only takes 12 minutes of high intensity workouts per day to gain a high level of fitness like she has.

While this may be true, and indeed the core workout is only 12 minutes, the timing does not involve warm up or cool down time. She has other, more extended workouts which are also high intensity. Her loyal fans have followed her through the divorce and breakup of the BodyWorks partnership, and support her website Zuzka Light. Her products are sold onsite and at Amazon.

Zuzana also at one point worked in the adult entertainment industry. Most of her work was soft porn, although there were three films that were hardcore. Most of this work was done in her teen and early twenties.

What exercises do you need to do to become a freerunner?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well, if you want to just go run around town or go for a run (if that's what you mean by free running) then all you need is shorts, a sports bra or t-shirt, sneakers, socks, and an ipod and headphones if you like listening to music while you run. If it's cold out then wear: long pants (yoga, running, or exersize pants), sweat-shirt, one made for running, or a warm regular sweat shirt that you will be comfortable in. Hope this helped!

When does aerobic capacity decline?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

As soon as you stop using it.

The human body is an adaptive machine. If you are physically active, your body will adapt and improve it's ability to perform those physical activities. If you are physically inactive, you WILL regress and become less physically fit.

True, there is age-related decline as you enter your senior years, but the biggest determinant of aerobic capacity (or any other marker of physical fitness) is how much or little you challenge your body to perform.

Use it or lose it.
