Question 2

Accepted Answer

Throbbing Head Pain: It is not normal and should probably be evaluated by someone who is expert in men's health and such.  Something in your body is reaching some extreme that is not well and your body is warning you.

Question 3

Question 4

it's hard to work out in the winter. i like running outside but too cold and too much snow. any tips and how to lose weight in the winter time?

Accepted Answer

Restrict calories : The major point is to restrict calories and carbohydrates. If you do not go to gym do aerobics at home such as running in place, rope jumping, jumping jacks, etc.

Question 5

can laughing really hard actually work out your abs?

Accepted Answer

Yes: You better laugh for a while, though! laughter serves many purposes, and likely supports our mental health more than our physical health. Laughter does typically cause contraction of the abdominal muscles and the muscles between the ribs. If you can laugh enough to cause sore abs, then good for you!

Question 6

when i sweat my body odor smells like onions. it's hard to work out in public places because of this. frequent shower does no good. help!

Accepted Answer

Onions: If you smell like onions you might be eating too many onions. Try cutting out onions and see if your sweat smells differently.

Question 7

we have been trying to get pregnant this year, is it ok to work out hard after ovulation?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Exercise normally should have no affect on ovulation in and of itself.  Ovulation is an event following a complex interplay of hormones in the body.  However, some women who engage in very intense, regular exercise (e.g., marathon runners, tri-athletes) may stop having their period due to loss of body fat.  However, if you are just working out hard every now and then, it shouldn't be a factor.

Question 8

i just finished working out and i have weakness in my left arm, will this go away, and did i work out to hard?

Accepted Answer

Muscle soreness: is a post-exercise muscle pain that may result from excessive workouts. Presenting symptoms include muscle weakness,  palpable tenderness, and pain with active muscle contractions. Symptoms usually subside within a short period of time without any residual effects. Rest and drink a lots of water. Moderation is the key.

Question 9

i can't seem to gain muscle no matter how hard i work out, is there something im not doing right or is it genetics?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: It could be but i would get a personal trainer to see if you are doing something wrong.  You need to focus on dietary changes also to make sure you are taking in enough proteins at the appropriate time in relation to the weight training.

Question 10

does working out hard before a flu shot make the side effects worse? or should i wait to a non-work out day to get it.

Accepted Answer

Doesn't matter: Congratulations on being immunized, protecting both yourself and others around you. Side effects of influenza vaccine are uncommon. Many people have mild pain at the injection site for 2-3 days, but usually that's all. Working out is not likely to make any difference one way or the other.
