How can I get my fitness level back with my current job?

Since April of this yr, I am often on the road, visit customers and stay in hotels. I am a Sales person. I used to be very fit, running 4 times a week…It is hard to find an area where I can run or exercise. Now my belly is getting bigger, I am not eating healthily, I watch a lot of TV and I feel tired. How can I get my fitness level back with my current job? Any suggestions, welcome. Thanks.

Answer
Do these hotels have gyms? or you could go jogging in the areas around the hotel your staying at, just get a map of the area.

What would be a suitable fitness Ticklist for joining the Royal Marines?

So yeah im going to be signing the Application in a couple of months time, but before that i would like to get my fitness up a little and to a certain standard, The only problem is... what standard would that be, i know the training and fitness is going to be tough, really tough. But what would be a suitable ticklist before signing the sheets like 1. 6 miles running 2. 20 pull ups Etc etc Thanks!

Answer
ok please bear in mind it is 28 years ago and our minds dim with age. firstly you visit the local Royal Navy Careers office. They tell you that before they will register an application they have to see a demonstration of upper body strength (in those days pull ups). the guy said to me would i like to go away and practice (i always did look skinny!). Wow I thought, how many do they expect! so i asked him how many i had to do, he said " i will need to see at least 3" (three!) I laughed at him and said would ten do or should i do 20. assume application goes through you will then do a 3 day test (lympstone). main physical requirements; 1.5 miles in under 7mins30 at least 20 press ups 60 sit ups as many pull ups as poss shuttle runs. If you don't get these it is not the end, what counts is effort- they can get you fit if they believe in you. bootnecks may not be perfect but they never give up. good luck nice career choice

What are the best diets and fitness regimes you've tried that you maintained and made you lose a lot of weight?

Give names and details if you can. And how long you were able to keep going on the diet and fitness regimes. Also what was your motivation?

Answer
Forget about losing weight. Just adopt a healthy lifestyle.Eat a good healthy diet and excercise a lot!!! The more excercise you do the better! For a healthy diet, you need to be eating small to medium meals regularly. 4 or even 5 times a day. Each meal (apart from breakfast which should preferably be fibre rich), should contain a balanced ammount of carbohydrates for energy, (from potatoes, rice and pasta, etc) protien (from fish, chicken, occassional red meat is fine, soya is good too) and plenty of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants (simple fresh fruit and veg). Eat like this and make sure you are well hydrated (fruit juice is as good as water, any fluid counts, but some fluids have negative effects too, such as alcohol or caffiene rich drinks.) Now for the science bit: Protien is essential for repairing muscle and keeping the muscle you do have healthy (this includes your heart, lungs, brain etc). You naturally lose the ammount of protien you have throughout the day (through urine etc) so this needs to be replenished regularly on a daily basis. Carbohydrates are essential for energy. You won't be able to function without it. It also regulates body fat and glucose etc. Vitamins and minerals are obviously essential for a variety of reasons. For normal growth and development, for the healthy maintenance of the cells, tissues, and organs that make up our bodies, and also to let us efficiently use chemical energy provided by food. You can have a wide range of healthy meals with this, from Thai, Chinese, Italian, British, Indian, etc. Just make sure each meal contains balanced ammounts of these three. On the bright side too, fresh veg and rice and pasta is a lot cheaper than crappy junk food! This doesn't mean you cant have chocolate or pizza/takeaway/etc, just save them as very occassional treats. The big secret to keeping a healthy weight and staying healthy is EXCERCISE, particularly cardio excercise. Cardio exercise includes any form of excercise such as running/jogging/swimming/cycling etc that gets your heart rate pumping and you sweating and out of breath. It will not only burn calories and reduce your body fat levels, therefore making you 'slimmer' by having less fat on you, but will also improve your resting heart rate and lung function, making you healthier. I cannot understate the importance of cardio excercise. It is this which will basically burn the body fat off you. But you have to remember that once you have shed a bit of fat you have to have a nice toned body underneath the fat to show off. Strength training will help you strengthen and tone your muscles. This is done with the use of weights or by free training. There are essentially (without getting overly complicated) two types of strength excercises based on different types of muscle fibres depending on wether you want to build size, bulk and power, or just 'tone' up the lean muscles an get more muscle endurance. Heavy weights with short reps/sets will build your fast twitch muscle fibres and build size, power and strength. Imagine big guys at the gym lifting heavy weights. But if you use light to medium weights with lots of reps/sets you will excercise your slow twitch muscle fibres, you wont build size, but you will tone up your body and train muscle endurance. This will obviously make you 'look' healthier and more toned, but will also increase your metabolism (as your muscles demand more energy) so you will burn calories faster. These muscles are also excercised a lot with cardio workouts (i.e your leg muscles when running). Your arms for example, will need bicep curls and tricep dips using weights and reps of your choice (heavy - low reps, light - lots of reps) and also shoulder excercises such as holding the weights at your waist and lifting them perpendicular to your side or in front of you, etc etc. Your stomach will need excercises that cover the entire torso. Leg raises for your lower ab wall, crunches, sit ups and planks for your upper and all over ab wall, oblique twists for your sides and superman stretches for your lower back for example. These are just basic examples, there are literally hundreds of excercises, but it is impossible to show you on a site like this, get a trainer at your gym to show you some but remember the basic rules of muscles and weights. As far as excercise goes, you should aim to strike a balance between cardio training and strength training, this way you will build good strong and toned muscle, but also keep your body fat levels down and increase your heart and lung performance, making you much fitter and healthier.

Hi Hattie! there are several websites that can help you with that, but if you want to do fitness at home especially with out equipment, that's good because it can help you save some extra cash, compared to buying those drastic fitness equipments, do it in some other effective ways instead.

Can anyone tell me of a healthy eating and fitness regime for loosing weight quickly?

Hi, I am not obese, but I have excess fat around my waist and could also do with toning up a bit around my legs and chest. I am also wanting to get fitter again. Can anyone tell me of a fitness and eating regime that they followed and which yielded restuls quite quickly? I have joined a gym, so I have access to the equipment and I also have an idea of what to eat,but any tips would be helpful? Thanks

Answer
I train regularly and have helped a few of my friends lose weight as well. Remember the key to loosing weight is increasing your metabolism, and decreasing the amount of calories you intake daily. As far as exercise goes, I'd recommend you train 4-5 days on an elliptical trainer. They are similar to treadmills but involve your whole body... legs... arms... shoulders.. chest...back.. everything. In my opinion it's the best piece of cardio equipment out there. Plus not to mention it's easier on your joints and feet because it's more of a gliding action. For length of time to be exercising, I'd say no less than 30 min and no more than 60 min. Usually you'll want to warm up first by stretching, then run an elliptical 20-40 minutes(depending on your level), and finish off with some sit ups and cooldown stretches. If you are wanting to lose fat around your waist remember that you can't spot reduce. The best way to lose that fat is by busting your ass on that elliptical, and by eating right. Your diet is more important than your exercise. Spread your meals out by eating 6-7 small meals... every 2-3 hours. By doing this you increase your metabolism and balance yourself out. Most people don't know that. Drink a lot of water. That also helps flush out some bad stuff. Count your calories. This is important so you know how to adjust them in case you aren't losing weight. Always eat more than 1,200 calories a day. If you eat less than that then you can end up in the hospital. Maybe start out at 1,800 calories a day and if you aren't losing weight, then you need to bump it down to about 1,500 calories and increase your workout intensity. I recommend fish(tuna, salmon, haddock), chicken breast, greens(lettuce, peppers), fat free milk, and fruit to be your basic meals. Don't involve pastas or a bunch of bread because those carbs will just add more fat on your tummy. If you have to eat bread then make sure it is whole wheat. I can go on and on about ways in which to help you. If you ever need help just email me. Also I recommend that if you ever need equipment, then to buy it from www.fitnessweightequipment.net I buy my equipment there so I don't have to work out at a gym any more. I wish you luck with your goals. Go out there and make it happen.

How do England expect to keep up their Fitness levels if they are drinking Champagne?

Can anyone answer me this question: Do other World Cup Football teams drink like the English Football team does (as it alledgeley reported to do). And how can they expect to keep up their fitness levels and last the pace.

Answer
well they can't keep there fitness up-the body uses the same enzymes to break down and excrete alcohol as it does to break down lactic acid. when there is alcohol and lactic acid in the body the alcohol is the priority for the enzyme so the lactic acid will remain in the system not to mention it is a diaretic(increases fluid loss so rehydration will take longer affecting muscle recovery greatly). All that said if they only have a glass or two it shouldn't have enough of an effect to hinder their recover but it definitely doesn't help.

How do athletes work out their fitness level?

This question is for my science homework. I've tried searching it but it doesn't come up with what I'm looking for. I need to know how they work out their fitness levels and keep it up. Thanks! :-)

Answer
their system is gradually getting used to the heavy exercise they do every day, and so, their organism adapts to the needs of the environment which means their system is building a way of life capable to respond to the high needs of their exercise. I suppose their fitness is being built by the frequency and quantity of exercise they get, accompanied with the correct and specialised exercises which can be like one day strength, the other day stamina, the other day reflex, the other day speed, and so on, and also the periodic exercise (eg: 1st day 10 chin ups, 2nd day 15, 3rd 7, 5th 18 etc.) They keep it up by everyday training and they also protect it from possible damage with physiotherapy and stuff. Hope I helped :D:D
