Answer 2

i can't believe this is what has come to teens now and days. I feel sick to be in the same generation. I hope they feel true suffering for their actions. i agree that they should be sentenced to life. Just watching the video or hearing about it, makes me sick to my stomach. What pissed me off even more, is that they thought it was a joke while they were being held at the station. One girl said, " i guess where not going to the break this spring" & "oh do i get to go to cheer practice?" On top of that, one of the suspects mother said that the victims should have said anything in the first place!!! What teen doesn't say anything about everything or anyone? Everyone says mean things, even the most grown up people. But it doesnt mean that i victim should get a broken eye and a def ear! Now we know why you daughter is a wild animal. Parents are to blame. Those kids dont know anything. all they know is materialistic objects. No morals or anything.

Can you afford exercise bands? If so, slip one over both arms (you may have to adjust due to length variations), then bend at the elbow with your fists in front of your face. Move your arms out and in simulating the butterfly machine. Then, hook it (WELL) to a door knob or other sturdy surface and hold on to the other end. Slowly repeat the move described before but with this one, you will have more resistance; closer to the butterfly machine. Also, you can try the plank and variations to it. Get yourself into the push up position and hold yourself there with your head looking out. From this position, move your weight to one arm and foot. This will help tone your entire body. Protein powder will also help if you are also eating well and faithful to your workout regimen but it is expensive. It will help you build more muscle (you will NOT however look like the man on the bottle) which in turn will help you burn fat. Good luck.

Answer 4

It's actually not the number of push-ups in one workout,try to increase the intensity of each one.
And yes you will get good pec's,but it's best to buy some dumbbells and do pec flys and benches presses,if you can't do this try clap push-ups and hindu push-ups(look them up)

Answer 5

No, try bench pressing also ,both incline bench pressing and non-inclined bench presses,also try inclined push ups ,put your feet on a small stool or a stack of book at least 12 inches or higher ,keep your back straight and try doing 2 sets of 10 to start off with. you'll get results after awhile ....

Answer 6

Yes but you need to increase your reps as you go and have a regular schedule to do it, doing it full blast before you sleeps help because your muscles heal and recuperate when you're sleeping so you end up getting those pecs faster and sleeping much better

Answer 7

Can you get ahold of some dumbells to do some work at home. In the meantime do variations of pushups with hands wide apart, then do sets hands close together. Try and do some with your feet elevated on a chair.

Answer 8

Number one mistake is that you need a gym and special equipment to be strong.

With a basic weight set, a big bouncy ball, and a pull up bar, you can work your entire body to perfection.

Pull ups
Sit ups.
Squats.and lunges.
Push ups.
Reverse incline push ups.
Running, bike riding.
Eating healthy.
