I had a problem of cervical spondylosis which was cured one year ago. I wish to join a fitness centre to improve my physical condition. What are the exercises that I avoid in a fitness center. Shall I work with low weights? Please guide me.

This is for my Nutrition and Fitness class, i suppose to ask these questions to someone and write an essay. It will be a lot of help to me for any well written response. thank you.
1. What current trends do you see in the area of fitness/exercise?
2. How Should communities and the educational system address the health issues related to overweight, obesity, and sedentary lifestyle?
3. What educational background do you have which contributed to your current position?
4. Should the government have a strict rules related to restricting junk food (in the cafeteria, vending machines) in private schools from K-12?

We all heard of the saying, “You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink it.” I believe there is a way to motivate the horse to drink. In this case, its a lifetyle of fitness and healthy eating which is conducive to a more healthy longer life. Therefore, I am looking for serious answers. Thanks.

A vegetarian diet is absolutely better for people. There are disease known as “western diseases” which occur mostly in the western world where more animal protein is consumed. There are new studies that show many kife-threatening diseases (cancer, heart disease, diabetes) are linked to consuming animal proteins. if you are really interested in the science behind why eating animal proteins is really bad for you check out a book called THE CHINA STUDY. It’s be most comprehenseive study of nutrition ever done and the results are incredible and mind-blowing. There are a bunch of other studies cited in the book as well. I highly recommend it.

I just got a job at a store that sells well known guys and girls fitness clothes.. All the clothes are tight, all the sales people seem to be females. I don’t know what to do to sell, flirt with the males? What if they want my number how do u reject them.. I dont know what to do

Competitive athletes, sedentary individuals and people who exercise for health and fitness all need the same nutrients. However, because of the intensity of their sport or training program, some athletes have higher calorie and fluid requirements. Eating a variety of foods to meet increased calorie needs helps to ensure that the athlete’s diet contains appropriate amounts of carbohydrate, protein, vitamins and minerals.

I don’t know exactly but I know if you’re a very active, average-sized person, you should get about 2000 calories a day coming from 60% carbs, 30% protein, and 10% fat. That should give you an idea.

I know this is reallty cliche,
but when I exercise (my sport of choice: running) I am happy with myself and therefore treat people around me friendly.
Where when I skip a workout I get all cramped up and mad at myself and ultimately have to let it out somehow & on someone…

If you eat a healthy, mixed and balanced diet:
You’ll have more energy.
You’ll be able to gain lean muscle and lose fat.
You’ll feel brighter and more alert.
You’ll suffer less injuries and recover from any that you do sustain more rapidly.

and how does diet effect your performance in sport?
