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?

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.

What is the minimum square footage per person in an aerobics class room for 20 people.?

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?

Aerobic exercise means your muscles are getting exercised at a rate where the muscles are not being depleted of oxygen faster than the blood, from the heart and lungs, can supply it. This allows the muscles to work at maximum efficiency.

Aerobic exercise will not reduce the strength, size or endurance of muscles, but it will not help increase them. To work on increasing those, exercise needs to be anaerobic/resistive: high load for short periods. It is best to combine resistive and aerobic exercise to achieve all round strength and fitness.

What type of sports are Aerobic and Anaerobic?

Aerobic:

Swimming, soccer, tennis, skiing, basketball, volleyball, and bicycling are examples of aerobic sports. Walking, jogging, and dancing.

What is the age of Zuzana light?

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.

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?

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.

Basic forms of tai-chi?

Almost all Tai Chi practiced nowadays is either the Yang or Wu style (although a few practice the Chen or Hao).

Tai Chi styles are generally done in two ways- long forms and the short forms. Long forms yield more benefits for the student, but require a longer amount of time to be set aside for them and have a much higher degree of difficulty to learn. While some quality is definitely sacrificed, short forms yield a large degree of benefits and are much easier and simpler to learn.

Of all the Tai Chi short forms, the most basic and well known is the Yang 24 move short form. This article does a fairly good job detailing the subject:

http://www.taichimaster.com/tai-chi/tai-chi-secret-how-to-choose-a-tai-chi-style/

If you want to have access to the best resource on the subject and the different forms of Tai Chi, their difficulty, who teaches them and what they can accomplish I would recommend getting the book Tai Chi Health for Life.

Also, if you want to get technical, the basic components of Tai Chi exist within Qigong, and the best form that exists within Qigong (which while simple contains most of the attributes and benefits one would get from practicing Tai Chi) is known as Cloud Hands. It's actually simple enough to be detailed within an instructional booklet (as opposed to a 5000 page tome for a Tai Chi form), with the book on it being called "Opening the Energy Gates of Your Body."

My own opinion is that the best way to learn Tai Chi is to first extensively master the energy components within the form from a simpler qigong form before beginning the Tai Chi one. If you're open to that, The Energy Gates method is the classic one that's been taught for the past few thousand years in China!

What specific exercises are good for weight loss and what is a good weight loss exercise routine for the gym?

Cardiovascular routines work well with weight loss mixed with a fast pace weight routine. Start on the treadmill and walk no less than twelve minutes if your a beginner longer if you can handle it. Use light weights at first until you develop a higher level of strength. do ten military presses with straight bar or dumbells with no rest do ten lat pulldowns or pull ups no rest do your favorite arm routine. Mine is hammer curls or preacher curls. At this point your upper body will be pretty fatiguid. Immediatly do ten flys on a flat bench with light weight. Using a long bar for your chest routine would be very dangerous at this point. As a cool down stretch your upper body out then start your abs routine. ten crunches, ten leg raises, ten oblique crunches each side. If you have a track at your gym walk it at least once before starting again. Do this upper body routine three times. rest anytime you feel so tired you would cause danger to yoursef by going on. Using lighter weights will lower the risk of fatigue. Allow your upper body a day of rest. Start your lower body routine with no less than twelve minutes on treadmill. ten squates or leg presses. no rest ten leg curls. no rest ten leg extensions. no rest ten calf raises. Again be your own judge on safety. None of this will work if you continue to eat alot of sugars and starches. Remove all sodas from your diet. Remove all sugars and sweetners. If you must use sweetners use less than normal. NO white breads only wheat if you must have bread. I would not suggest it. Drink lots of water I am glad to answer any questions concerning fitness and weight loss.

Answer

Exercise is very important to anyone trying to loose those extra added pounds, however exercise is not the only thing that will do it for you. Adopting a god diet is really the way to do it, I would consult a doctor and a nutricianist to better determine what is best for you. Exercise is very important, it allows the body to get blood flow in all the major parts of the body, and in doing so brings mush needed oxygen to cells in our lower and upper extremities. The most simplest form of exercise you can can do, reletivley easy, cheap, and effective is walking. The big problem with exercise is that people look for results instantly, and simply put, that just does not apply with exercise..Get yourself a calender, mark out 12 weeks from your expected start date, and start walking. The first week start out by walking two days, perhaps around the block once the first day, twice the second day. The second week walk three days in that week, two times around the block the first day, and two-three times around the second and third day and so fourth, and so on. Your goal at the end of those 12 weeks should be something simple like being able to walk around that block three times, for four days..Remember to listen to your body, it has become familiar with your regular day to day so the first week or so you may have some soreness, no pain no gain...good luck. getting those walking shoes on will be the hardest part of it, I promise..

I won't go too far into depth with this, but cardiovascular exercises, and working fast twitch muscles, along with a proper diet will produce the most weight loss. This means, the treadmill, elliptical bicycle, swimming, etc... ANY exercise to increase and sustain your heart rate. As far as weightlifting goes, I recommend any exercise which you feel comfortable doing relatively low weight, but a great deal of repetitions. The key is to have little rest between repetitions to maintain a moderately increased heart rate.
