Question 1

what is the best way to reduce body fat, but maintain strength?

Accepted Answer

Go slow: Make sure that you eat normally and don't reduce your caloric intake too drastically.  Make sure that you exercise and use some weight exercises. Certainly doing aerobic exercise like running, elliptical or bike will greatly speed your fat loss.

Question 2

what can i do on my off days that is effective and beneficial after strength training full body?

Accepted Answer

Walking, abs, calves: Walking/biking/running 30-60 minutes a day on your days off is great.  Also, although upper and lower body muscles should be exercised every other day, calves and abs (and back) need to be exercised daily because they are the hardest muscles to improve  in strength and condition/definition..

Question 3

please tell me, could someone give me a full body weight lifting routine that focuses on strength?

Accepted Answer

I recommend joining-: -a reputable health club. Hook up with an AT-C who will set up a program that suits your needs &amp; abilities. Take 1 on 1 training until you &amp; the trainer feel that you can do it on your own. Keep well hydrated, proper diet &amp; supplement with Whey protein only your heavy workouts, always follow with a day of cardio, but do not lift every day. Muscles need time to recover.

Question 4

what's the best way to do strength training without putting on too much body mass?

Accepted Answer

Low weight high reps: Most strength training gurus generally believe that performing more repetitions with lower weight strengthens muscle without adding the mass. Mass is added moreso when repetitions are limited but heavier loads are used during lifting.

Question 5

for exercise i do upper body strength training one day. the next day i do lower body cardio.  should i do lower body strength training after 40 y/o?

Accepted Answer

Workouts: As long as your doctor says you are healthy enough to do so, it is good to vary your workouts.  Please keep focus on health more than the number on the scale.  Healthy food plan and sleep are part of the healthy lifestyle.  Peace and good health.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

No good options: Generally, advanced osteoarthritis of the cmc joint of the thumb is very debilitating. Nsaids and local injections usually provide short term relief at best. Physical therapy and splinting again have modest value in my experience.

Question 8

despite a high level of exercise (cardio and strength) my daughter is steadily gaining weight - other symptoms are increased body hair, acne?

Accepted Answer

PCOS: Your daughter may have a condition known as pcos (polycystic ovarian syndrome) -- i recommend an evaluation with her primary care doctor or gynecologist.

Question 9
