How do I know how fit I am or what my fitness level is?

I'm going to the gym tonight. There's heaps of machines so if you could tell me which machine would determine my fitness level.



Also, if there are any other ways, let me know!



THANKS.How do I know how fit I am or what my fitness level is?Fitness is a relative term. If you haven't exercised regularly, then you can be sure your fitness level is low. On the other hand, if you have exercised for a while, then you fitness has improved.



A good way to measure your fitness is with a heart rate monitor watch. That way you can keep track of your fitness level.How do I know how fit I am or what my fitness level is?Um, time yourself running two miles. That's pretty much the best way.

Provide a plausible explanation for the difference in fitness of the AA genotype in the different environments?

Humans in parts of central Africa with the AS genotype have higher fitness than neighbors with an AA genotype. Humans living on the fringes of the Sahara desert in Africa with an AA genotype has a higher fitness than neighbors with an AS genotype.Provide a plausible explanation for the difference in fitness of the AA genotype in the different environments?AS - sickle cell trait confers increased resistance to malaria so will confer an advantage in central Africa where there is much malaria and so will have a higher fitness.

AA - normal, will have a higher fitness in those areas, such as Sahara desert, where the prevalence of malaria is very low and so the condition of sickle trait has no advantage.

Type of exercise that increases fitness but results in minimal weight loss?

I'm a sixteen year old girl, and I want to start exercising just to improve my general physical and mental health. But I'm slightly underweight and I don't want to lose any more weight. I know running and jogging result in massive weight loss. Is there any exercise I can do that will improve my fitness and stamina but won't make me lose that much weight? Please help.Type of exercise that increases fitness but results in minimal weight loss?That is a tough one! If you add any kind of exercise, you are going to burn more calories, so you'll need to eat more! Add carbs (to fuel your body during exercise so you aren't immediately burning fat), and protein (which is calorie dense and will help you maintain your muscle). Just adding a big glass of milk after exercise can help you with this.



To get your heart and lungs in shape, you don't need to do a ton of exercise. Try 20-30 minutes 2-3 times a week. If that doesn't feel like enough, add some walking (on hills, on a treadmill w/ an incline, or with lunges in between).



A lot of people don't realize that when you start losing weight -- a lot of what you lose is muscle (after a few initial pounds of water weight, which is no big deal). Muscle loss happens even if you're losing that weight by exercising. So make SURE you add strength training to maintain your muscle. (It will be a lot harder to get back than fat). You can do this without equipment by googling some body weight and core exercises like squats, lunges, pushups, planks, and crunches. (You can even do JUST these kinds of strength exercises, with some jumping jacks, jogging in place, or jumping rope in between sets, and some stretches at the end, and you'll improve your fitness in a really well rounded way. Squats and other leg exercise do a surprisingly great job of getting your heart rate up.).



Running and jogging do create a very high calorie burn, and also tend to cause you to lose muscle if you do a lot, but they are a great/fast way to get in shape. You can also try anaerobic exercises (very intense exercises you can't maintain for very long, like jump roping or short sprints). These do burn a lot of calories and rev your metabolism (eat!!), but they don't break down fat the same way other exercises do (like the elliptical, jogging). And they WORK your heart and lungs for great fitness and stamina in a faster time.

Type of exercise that increases fitness but results in minimal weight loss?You might be suprised. Running and jogging build up a large amount of muscle in your legs which results is gaining muscle mass. Muscles weigh If you have no fat to burn, you can't lose it. I would do things that build up muscle mass such as weight lifting (low weight, a lot of reps). Also, you could do classes such as yoga, and pliates to strengthen your core. Cardio is an important part of health, so I wouldn't count it out completly.

Do stretches really help your fitness and health?

Though I exercise, I have only heard of stretching as a fitness exercise recently, and I'd be interested to know what effects it has on health.Do stretches really help your fitness and health?That is all false, there was a study at UCLA that proved that stretching before exercises did NOT prevent pulls/tears/etc. We gain absolutely no benefit from stretching before exercising.Do stretches really help your fitness and health?
when i stretch in the mornings and before and after workouts, i feel more refreshed and more relaxed. i don't know how to medically describe the effects of stretching, but i do know that it prevents you from pulling a muscle.Do stretches really help your fitness and health?They completely help. Especially when incorporating deep breathing. Stretching helps strengthen your cardiovascular system by causing blood to be pumped through your body. It also helps combat a lot of problems people face such as stress, fatigue, sore joints/muscles/backs. Get a good stretching/yoga book for beginners or the novice. You will see a big difference in your energy levels and workouts.

Plus, if done in a peaceful setting, it can be very calming/grounding. Good for clearing the head of the daily stresses.Do stretches really help your fitness and health?
Yes, it is quite healthy.Do stretches really help your fitness and health?I wouldn't consider stretching an exercise, but I would consider it vital for health. When working out you cause the muscle to strengthen...but also shorten. Muscles are attached to bone and when they shorten they pull on the bone. Stretching after exercise can keep muscles from pulling a bone even an eighth of an inch out of place. If your talking a muscle connected to your vertebra then your talking back pain.
