Beep test
Ergo's 500, 1k, 2k, 5k and 30 min
Anything else u can think of would be greatly appreciated,|||In addition to getting strong, don't forget condition, condition, and more condition. Every rower I've ever known does an insane amount of daily cardio.

Can smoking half a joint affect your fitness levels?
If you smoke say half a joint can it negatively affect your fitness for sprints or stamina for a whole match?
What if it were half a j that you didn't entirely inhale, but only half breathed in, like the honourable Bill Clinton?|||Yes. Don't do it.|||Not in my opinion, but a doctor would tell you otherwise. BUT doctors don't know everything and every time I go to the doctor they tell me I look/sound great (lungs wise). Look, I've smoked for a little less than half my life (10 years). Not a lot of cigarettes, but I smoke one-four cigarettes a day (usually just one). Lately I smoke none, bc I'm all about "health" as well, but I really think it just depends upon the human being and how strong/healthy they are to begin with.
My best friend on the other hand, NEVER smokes and has never really smoked in her life. But she looks older (and is only a month older), she has less energy than me all the time (and I have KIDS and she doesn't) and she is always freakin' sick. One time we raced to the house, and I beat her by a loooong shot. I'm stronger, more physically fit, and despite the fact that we are the same size even after I had kids...she exercises and I don't. It's just the gene pool in my opinion, man. My bf is just the same as me. Never exercises (except for manual labor), smokes about a pack a day and he is in better shape and looks better than most guys his age. It may have been the water in our hometown growing up, but I highly doubt it.|||if you stick to half a joint before a match, then realistically, it won't cause any problems. but the reality is you will probably end up needing a bit more and a bit more... but if you stick to the half a joint you aren't doing yourself anymore harm than someone going out after a match and having a drink. less so in fact.|||whats the point if you dont full inhale..
the affect on fitness is not as bad as drinking or smoking

Attention fitness enthusiasts, what would get your attention in a personal trainer?
I am a certified personal trainer in the Baltimore area and I'm looking for more marketing ideas to draw in customers. Currently, I have a fitness newsletter, a website in developmental stages, and a rewards program for clients who offer me referrals. What are some other ideas that would catch your eye to work with me?|||My brother was a trainer for 24 here in Houston, and he is currently training his clients at his house.....he has this new thing he calls the buddy system.....for example say you train a person for 1 hour and charge them 50$, well what he does is he says find a buddy, and you train them at the same time, and the rate could increase or stay the same for you, but it will make it cheaper for them.....and you don't lose your time as you train them together....he says girls are down for this type of session.....He also is starting to train kids, and again multiple kids, but there, it is kind of like a camp, so you charge them whatever.....Always get all your clients meal plans so they have something to go on instead of guessing. He is making a killing!!!! I think I am going to start doing this with him. I hope this has helped you a bit.....good luck|||be more friendly... create a banner or billboard about your gym... prioritize your costumer... make them interrested to your fitness gym... educate them about fitness activities... on how to build them a good body... show them that you are really willing to help them.... encourage them and cheer them, tell them that they can really make it... for sure alot of people will patronize you and some will even reffer you... good luck pal...|||Women are drawn to day spas and I have a daughter starting in your profession as an apprenticeship and I have a masseuse daughter. Get a friendly masseuse to offer deals with you to help her business as well as yours--most gyms have a spa in the area. My daughter is right next door to the gym.
Should I run the day before a fitness test?
I have an intense fitness test tomorrow morning involving sprinting and running. I rested yesterday and was planning on resting today too. I feel really good today, but I'm scared that I will feel sluggish tomorrow morning? I know I should probably keep on resting, but should I get out and run a little today?|||go on an easy half mile jog today and do like 3-4 short 30-40 meter strides. also do some stretching, but not too much. just relax.|||You feel really good today because you rested. If you really feel you have to run, jog (SLOWLY)a mile and do a few (4) 50-75 meter sprints at 75-80% of all out. Good luck!|||I'm no expert but i would just relax and maybe do some stretching and light exercise just to get you a little more ready for tomorrow.|||go for a SHORT jog. like 1/2 mile or less. and jog slowly. stretch a lot. go for a walk, maybe, too.|||Sure you can go running a day before your fitness test.|||No you should not unless you want to hurt your performance.

just do Stretching = increased oxygenated nourishing blood flow to the extremities
visit below for Free stretching /healing / recovery exercise chart
http://www.standonme.com
The key is to increase blood flow to the problem area; fresh nourished blood has vital oxygen
and energy that aides to eliminate the pain and heal the body
The only way to get reinforcements inside our highly complex human body is through the
Circulatory systems that provide vital source needed for all life -- which is oxygen and the
carrier being blood.
Unfortunately the blood through your arteries is not like free flowing water through a plumbing
System -- the blood needs to be pushed into the remote areas and the impure blood needs to be
Pumped back against gravity to the heart for oxygenation. Due to lack of activity or stress or sedentary / busy life style
Stretching is not occurring and there is a blood traffic jam in the pipes (thereby increasing free radicals in the impure blood #1 aging accelerator ) and blood circulation weakens which causes several chronic ailments like
Back pain , stress, fatigue , depression , lethargy , aging , early wrinkles , low immunity etc鈥?
The only way to fix this is by stretching and widening the circulatory pipes this can be done by using a new smash hit stretching tool that is so simple and yet phenomenally effective .

What do you think of walking for fitness?
Lots of people walk for fitness - brisk cardiovascular walks. Do you think you need to do anything else to stay fit and strong and confident? I think walking rocks.|||I try to walk as often as I can. Usually walk about 4-5 miles at a time, averaging about 3-4 mph. Have managed to get stuck out in the open in heavy rain a few times. Besides that and occasional wildlife encounters, I agree that it rocks.|||walking is good if you want to stay in the minimal fit area. if you get in the gym a little bit it would help out a lot.|||Brisk walking can be a good starting place.. it kind of depends on your current fitness level and goals though.
If you don't break a sweat or get out of breath, it's not the best choice for fitness.
I won't say "don't walk" of course because it certainly is good for you, but I will say that you probably need to add more stuff to your regime. Swimming or weights or yoga or soccer, etc.|||I lost 5kg in a month by just walking, I made no change to my diet.|||Walking is a great way to stay in shape. It helps you heart stay active, builds muscle in your legs, and burns fat. You can add arm strengthening by carrying 3-5lb dumb bells as you walk. Swing your arms in motion and let the weights carry you with each step. But walking will only do good if you are walking for 30 minutes each time at a fast pace. Start off at 30 minutes and build it up to an hour. Then change it from time to distance. 2 miles first then as many as you can walk in 1 hour. Once you walk 3 miles in 1 hour, then reduce the time to 45 mins. I did and dropped 10 lbs in a week. Don't let a plateau in weight loss affect you. Change up the routine by changing the route you walk. Different time of day can affect it as well. Listen to music and drink water as you walk.

Does anyone know of a really good fitness tracker that works with my android phone?
I need to find a really good all around fitness tracker. Right now I use endomondo to track my workouts and a different program to track my food and calorie intake. I would love to have one that did both and uploaded both from my android phone to an online account where I could keep up with everything and have a user friendly interface. It would also be nice if it would allow workout posts to facebook. Any ideas?|||Try myfitnessplan.com - it's free %26amp; I love it. You can track both food and exercise..|||free android app for internet call, please try
How fast do you get abs in fitness training ?
I have been training in fitness centre from the last 2 months, and although there is already a change in my abs, I wanted to know how long it would take to get a kind of shape (not like a professionnal bodybuilder though).
Also now I have a job, and I cannot exercise daily. I wanted to know whether 3 times a week is acceptable for keeping the shape I have acquired.
Also if you know any abs-exercises, I would be very happy if you could tell me.
Thank you very much.|||it should take about 1 more month to see a shape if you work HARD. if you workout for the same then you just keep your abs the way they are now.
3 times a week is excellant!! keep it up|||Hi my friend,
A few months ago, I've tried a new approach on abs development I've read in a ebook that I've found on the net. (a free one). It's a very valuable book.
I've learned very interesting things working for me. The author tell us what are the exercises boosting body metabolism.
When stimulated efficiently, you'll see that it will burn your excess fat very fast (a few weeks). For me, it takes about six weeks.
On the same way, you'll have to practise special exercises (which are not sit-ups, crunches everybody knows) and believe me : it works! You'll have your own "washboard" very soon ;-)
You'll find the link to download at the bottom of this page
Hoping, it will be helpful as it was for me...
