How do I get "perfect fit" weatherstripping to fit in my car?

November 22nd, 2009 -- Posted in get fit | 2 Comments »

I’m replacing the weatherstripping on the drivers door of my four door 1979 Chevy Caprice. I bought the really nice stuff from JC Whitney that is supposed to fit perfectly in the car. I’ve already glued the top around the window channel and that went fine. However, the pegs are too big for the holes along the bottom and sides of the door. I’ve tried pushing, I’ve tried a hammer, they are just too large.

What do I do?
Do I try a drill to make the holes in the car bigger?
Do I file down the pegs to make them thinner? (Would this innerfear with the fit?)
Something else?

Thanks!

On GM models those are standard so go to a GM dealer and ask for the plastic rivets for the weatherstripping

do tv fitness channel workouts work?

November 22nd, 2009 -- Posted in fitness workouts | 1 Comment »

no time to go to a gym so i was wonderering if anyone ever worked out with the programs they have on fit tv. and if they worked. its much easier to dvr them and do them when i have time rather than go to the gym.

Anything that gets you moving and your heart rate going will help. Add in toning work, and you have the added benefit of building more muscle, which in turn burns more calories throughout the day than other tissues!

Basically, if you’re getting exercise in any for at least 20 min a day – you’re going to see results. Different workouts appeal to different people, and also will work different body parts. When I started out working out, I did the Fitness TV workouts just like you’re saying, by recording then doing when I had time. I found some I liked, some I hated, and some that were more of a challenge, etc.

Fitting in fitness is key to good health! Good luck – it’s better to try out different workouts for free on your home tv than to waste money on a gym membership you may not use!

What exercises and fitness regimes can i do to get fit and have a flat stomach for the summer?

November 22nd, 2009 -- Posted in fitness exercises | 5 Comments »

i’d like to get rid of the belly for the summer?

Try HULA HOOPING – ‘the cardio for abdominals’!!
it’s not that hard to learn and it burns lots using all different abdominal muscles

The results can be better than you believe – do it for just 10 minutes a day and you can lose as much as 100 calories. And this will mean that you can shed up to 2 inches from the waist in just 30 days.
of course if u want faster results, u need to do it for longer :-)

you can also do pilates as they strengthen your muscles

or try "belly waving" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=li8NArR5M…
it aids the intestines to move food in your body – speeding up metabolism

SIMPLE CHANGES ALONGSIDE WORKOUTS AND TRAINING:
substitute – walk or bike instead of taking a car/bus
take the stairs instead of a lift – run up
take the longer path instead short cut
take with you additional weight like books or a big bottle of water

water – drink at least 2 litres of it /day. It prevents dehydration therefeore water isn’t stored in your body (bloating stomach and places around ankles and all that lot), + it detoxifines the body and therefore helps to speed up metabolism

a natural way is also green tea – it boosts up metabolism in a natural way

try mixing flavours (it’s another TRICK WITH FOOD)- sour + sweet + spicy (you can make a drink – glass of water, squeeze 2/3 lemons, add 2 spoons of maple syrup and a pinch of pepper (ideally cayenne) or some tabasco – you can have it as i meal or a snack – such mixture stimulates the action of digestive enzymes therefore speeds up metabolism (+ is low in calories – based on water

eat plenty of fibre rich foods as they aid the movement of your intestines therefore speed up metabolism

also visit this website: http://www.wellbeing-information.com/tum…
it’s very good for tummy exercises (in fact u can have a look at many diet issues there) and they are clearly put down – step by step :-)
here’s an example

a) For this exercise you will need to stand at a bar or facing the back of a chair for support at waist height.
b) Stand with feet together and place your hands on the support.
c)Breathe out and tighten your stomach and buttocks.
d) Slowly raise your body onto tip toe.
e) Hold this position as you count to 5 while taking a deep breath.
f) Breathe out as you slowly lower your body down to a squat position.
g) Hold this position as you breathe in to the count of five.
h) Breathe out as you raise yourself to the standing position and relax.
i) Keep your back as straight as possible while doing this exercise.

good luck

Is there an exercise and diet program for a 13 year old girl?

November 22nd, 2009 -- Posted in exercise program | 2 Comments »

I’m 13 and I weigh 135 pounds and am 5 feet tall. I’m overweight and need a diet and exercise program. I play sports and eat all kinds of fruits and veggies. I’m not that fat because alot is muscle but I can’t seem to target the fatty areas of my body.

the exercise program is called just having fun. Get involved in different physical activities that you enjoy and try to be active for at least an hour every day. As for diet just try and do the basics by eating lots of fruit and veges as you said, cut down on processed, fatty or high sugar foods life donuts, chips, chocolate, lollies eg. Try and drink a lot of water and not soft drinks. Make sure you get enough sleep and eat three healthy meals each day. Also you might want to try wholemeal bread instead of white bread as it contains more fibre

How many times a week should I do exercise to lose weight?

November 18th, 2009 -- Posted in exercise to lose weight | 4 Comments »

I want to lose weight healthily, To lose a noticable amount in about as soon as I can. Can I start of with lots of exercise and health eating for results, then lay off exericse a bit?

I am not a big fan of "losing weight". I am more of a fan of taking care of your body and having weight loss maybe follow that. Remember that you look great no matter how much you weigh or what other people think.

Fitness is not just physical, it is also mental. If you are just focused on losing weight, your weight loss program will not work as well. If you focus on taking care of your body, being confident, and accepting the way your body is, you tend to do a lot better. Instead of thinking, "I’m doing this to lose weight", think of it as, "I’m doing this to take care of my body".

Losing weight quickly is not always the best idea because it is not good for you and is not very effective in the long run. Losing the weight quickly makes it harder to keep off in the future. It is best to lose weight at a slower rate so you can keep it off.

I have heard pills are bad. I know some people endorse them, but I suggest not using them and sticking to losing the weight on your own.

It depends on how much exercise you are doing now, but I would suggest doing cardio at least 3 times a week and no more than 5. I would suggest doing weights at least 2 times a week.

I am always told muscle weighs more than fat, so increase in muscle mass would not be a bad thing. You want to be doing cardio and weights for the best results. Muscle confusion is key because if you continually do the same workout (same weight, repetitions, speed, angle, etc.) day after day, week after week, your muscles adjust and get used to what you are doing. Make sure you don’t continually do the same workout.

I am not sure what your eating habits are, but, as you probably know, eating healthy is a big part. Eating healthy does not mean cutting out meals or eating less, it just means eating the correct foods. Do not skip breakfast, it is the most important meal and energizes you for the rest of the day. People often think eating healthy means just fruits and vegetables, but this also includes fats, protein, and dairy. Yes I said fats… your body needs fat. Try to limit your intake of trans and saturated fats and lean more toward unsaturated fats, but do not try to cut out fats because they are important. Try to stick more towards lean meats like chicken and turkey, and stay clear of beef,steak, burgers, etc. Remember you don’t have to completely restrict yourself though from everything. You don’t even have to change your eating habits. But if you do, it is good to treat yourself and enjoy some dessert or a nice burger every once in awhile!

Hope this is helpful. Take care of yourself. Good luck with everything! =)
