Scientists worked hard on this question because in space, if you do not work your muscles, they can atrify as well as you can suffer from joint seperation (Like tennis elbow).  Excersizing in space is possible though.  Some of the ways that it can be accomplished:\n\nCircluar track that the runner stays on because of centripical force.\n\nBelted into excercycle.\n\nBungie weights.\n\nStrapped into treadmill.\n\nAirpressure resistance machines (Pistons).

I am not a certified trainer, but am very physically fit and long distance runner. I have seen this device and it looks okay, but if it is the only thing you do, it could stress your ankles the way it makes them flair out to the sides. You would probably be okay using it along with two or three other cardio activities.\nAnything that gets people sweating and moving, I am for it!!

YES it does!! It targets ALL of your ab muscle groups instead of just one group as you would from traditional crunches. It's inexpensive and it doesn't hurt your neck or back like floor crunches/sit-ups do. But make sure you incorporate cardio in your exercise routine...if you don't you are just building muscle under fat.

Thats a tough one.  It sounds like you are in good shape which is good.  I would switch from doing as much sprinting to doing more endurance style work.  Try running longer distances slower or perhaps an elliptical on low resistance for longer time.  This will work more on toning and burning calories rather than bulking you up.  Pilates like the other guy said is good too.  If it takes a long time, don't sweat it.  Many guys like a girl with muscular legs. :)

Actually one of the safest ways to work out almost every single muscle group in your body is--------drumroll please------ SWIMMING!!  Swimming develops excellent lean muscle mass in all parts of the body as well as improving breathing efficiency and heart health.  Consider adding it to your exercise program.  If you don't believe, go look at swimmer's bodies.  IF that doesn't convince you, nothing will. ;)

I'm not a gym goer, but I do work out nearly every day. I like autonomous (cheap) exercises, pushups, running, situps and such.

The Fitness Magazine website has a section on running.  I'm not sure if it is the same as the issue you saw, but hopefully it is helpful for you: http://www.fitnessmagazine.com/fitness/category.jhtml;jsessionid=TYKVMYMC2VLNLQFIBQSCCAQ?categoryid=/templatedata/fitness/category/data/1156343516987.xml

Upper body can be acheived by target training Incline push-ups, small weight dumbells.\n\nStomach muscle need to targeted by crunches, sit-ups try using weights with your work outs.\n\nButt you said you use to run but saw no results because you conditioned your muscles for your weight increase the stress leg weights  work wonders - esp. on incline.

Push ups are good too.  Also run lots.

I'm in the same situation, so I jog/run/hike.  And do pushups.  Anything that gets your heart rate up for 15-20 a day.  And diet is really important at our point in the weight-loss cycle.  We can't just do diet OR exercise, we have to do both.

In that it can be a cardiovascular activity, yes. But generally, s*x is more brief than a reasonable workout, and is expecially unproductive if you just lie there.

Depends on how tall you are. And no I would not push it, if you are feeling to have to catch your breath while running, don't. Start with walking and if you can walk well you can like walk two minutes and run one and built it up like that. Walking is a very good excescise so don't start running till you can walk long time. Good shoes are also important because you have to carry extra weight on your feet. Swimming is also very good excersise, because you don't have the weight to carry with you and is very good to build up your condition. Also biking is good excersise. Well remember don't push yourself, eventually you will get there and loose weight, don't expect any miracles. It could be even that you gain some weight at first since your muscles are tonung from the excercice. Good luck and take it slow, one step at a time. When i started running I was happy to be running one hole minute, now I run allready 8 years and I can run 1 hour 30 minutes without any problem. So everybody is different, take your time and keep on excersising. If you experience any chestpaines during or after excercise, stop and go see a doctor and he can help you build up a excercise plan.

See my answer on your achilles problem.\n\nSoleus probs can be exacerbated by achilles probs, plantars faciitis, hamstring injuries, or even glute problems. All that stuff is connected and a problem or tightness in one area can display itself in another. Stretching AFTER you run will help. Massage will help. Using the elliptical when injured will help (running with soleus or achilles probs is a no no...but ellipitical can be helpful and keep your aerobic capacity up while you heal). Buy the roller and the boots i mentioned in the other post. You will be very happy you did!

I'm a sprinter too, and i'm your age and also run the 100m dash. I always get my heart-rate up before I sprint. I do a couple of stideouts so I can get the adrenaline going. Then right when he says on your marks, I take a deep breath and go. Also when you run don't make a fist, keep your hands loose, it takes up energy when you clench them. I usually am in the 14 secs. \nMy coach told me to just keep lifting weights and that I"m only a freshman so as you get older your muscles get bigger and you get faster. So it will take some time, but for now just keep up the good work! :)
