Question 3

how to build muscle with cardio exercise?

Accepted Answer

Tricky: You will build a degree of muscle strength and some size with cardio exercise in general.  
 But if you want to build muscle mass, that won't be sufficient. To do this, the best way is to lift progressively heavier weights at ths gym, using appropriate lifting days and rest days as well as nutrition to optimize muscle growth.

Question 5

what exercises enlarge your gluteus butt muscles?

Accepted Answer

Prone Leg lifts: A good one is to lay prone, on your belly.  Lift one straight leg towards the ceiling and hold for count of 10-15.  Do series 6-10 7078769922with each leg alternatively.  Then if you place your arms and hands under you toward your groin you can lift both legs after some practice. Keep head to midline !

Question 6

what exercises use the tricep muscles?

Accepted Answer

Many will: Pushup, dips, press downs, french press ... really any exercise where you extend your arm out - as in "press" your hand out - will engage the triceps.  Even planks will do so, much less so if you "lock" your arms out - as at that point much of the stress going into the elbow joint(aka bad) rather than the surrounding muscles.

Question 7

what are exercises to build leg muscle?

Accepted Answer

Try a few: how about some properly done squats, lunges and leg presses.
don't forget your hamstrings - hamstring curls
also work on your calves- stairs climbing
I also like cycling to work on your quads and endurance at the same time

Question 8

what's a good exercise for the deltoid muscle?

Accepted Answer

Deltoid exercise: A personal trainer at a local gym would be the best to instruct you on proper techniques to exercise and focus on your deltoid.  But all muscles can be targeted.  Specific to the deltoid are arm raises.  Try a 10-15 lb weight, and lift arm from side to straight out from you at 90 degrees.  Repeat 12 times.  Do 3 sets.  Can also do straight in front of you till arm at chest level.  Same sets.

Question 9

why is it that my muscle aches when i exercise?

Accepted Answer

Muscles: You are actively engaging them more that they are used to. This will build muscle and strength.

Question 10

is isometric exercise good for muscle building?

Accepted Answer

Yes but has limits.: Isometric exercise, like weight lifting, etc. Can definitely build muscles, which helps capabilities/fitness, but is limited because it does not help cardiovascular health, and during the exercise, blood pressure can be greatly increased.  This can be very disastrous in people who are vulnerable, like  those with aneurisms.
