Is it safe to do push ups, crunches and other exercises everyday?

Question

Ive been working out and losing weight and gaining muscle, but Im not entirely sure how to exercise to lose the weight and gain muscle correctly, I just want to know if its safe for my body to work out everyday if possible, Nothing tooo heavey just alittle workout (15minutes)

Answer 1

Since it's only 15 minutes and you are only doing natural exercises (without weights and machines) I'd say that is is fine. If you were to workout over an hour everyday with weights I would say you need to take a break.

Answer 2

calastetics is the best way to gain muscle the reason being once you gain it you never loose it but with weights after one month of no exercise you start to not only look nasty and jaba the hutlike but when you start your exercise you literarly have to start from the bigening i could tell you that the arms and stomach you can work on them 7 days a week and all you'll see is improvement

Answer 3

One grapefruit daily in a one hundred twenty-week weight-loss plan will take 3lb off your total designated. Scripps medical institution in San Diego has determined which the Vit-C packed citrus reduces insulin ranges, which discontinue you craving fizzy matters. Are attempting it in savoury and candy dishes for introduced pep.

Answer 4

One grapefruit on a daily basis in a one hundred twenty-week foodstuff plan will take 3lb off your usual concentrated. Scripps sanatorium in San Diego has chanced on which the Vit-C packed citrus reduces insulin stages, which end you yearning fizzy issues. attempt it in savoury and candy dishes for extra pep.

Answer 5

It is safe, but exercising more than five out of seven days a week is not necessary. In fact, it's good to give your body a break.

Answer 6

No, you have to give your muscles a break in between workouts.

Answer 7

If you are doing them correctly and not placing undue strain on your body, by all means go ahead!

Answer 8

All in moderation, it should be just fine. Having worked in manufacturing plants, I tend to do better by daily participation in exercise regimens. I believe this is due to the work ethic in such places which requires an individual hired to perform a set number of manual tasks being required to perform the tasks each day...on a repetitive basis. Thus, if lifting one pound with the right hand (and arm) and transferring it to the left hand (and arm) 60 times per hour is one's work, that is simply what one conditions one's body to do. Soreness is often the result of inadequate hydration or not performing stretches before, during, and after work.

The assembly lines in factories often involve such work as aforementioned...so your moderate (nothing tooo heavey) 15 minute workout each day should not be considered too strenuous unless your physician advises against it. Always let your physician know before beginning an exercise regimen so that your cardio signs may be monitored more closely. Learn to determine your target heart rate based upon standards established for ordinary healthy persons...and do not exceed them.

See excerpt (in part) below from source given below:

Measuring Heart Rate:

1. The pulse rate (which in most people is identical to the heart rate) can be measured at any point on the body where an artery is close to the surface. Such places are wrist (radial artery), neck (carotid artery), elbow (brachial artery), and groin (femoral artery). The pulse can also be felt directly over the heart. NOTE: The thumb should never be used for measuring heart rate.
2. Producing an electrocardiogram, or ECG (also abbreviated EKG), is one of the most precise methods of heart rate measurement. Continuous electrocardiographic monitoring of the heart is routinely done in many clinical settings, especially in critical care medicine. Commercial heart rate monitors are also available, consisting of a chest strap with electrodes. The signal is transmitted to a wrist receiver for display. Heart rate monitors allow accurate measurements to be taken continuously and can be used during exercise when manual measurement would be difficult or impossible (such as when the hands are being used).
3. It is also common to find heart rate by listening, via a stethoscope, to the movement created by the heart as it contracts within the chest.

Maximum Heart Rate:

Maximum heart rate (also called MHR, or HRmax) is the maximum heart rate that a person should achieve during maximal physical exertion. Research indicates it is most closely linked to a person's age; a person's HRmax will decline as they age. Some research indicates the speed at which it declines over time is related to fitness—the more fit a person is, the more slowly it declines as they age.

HRmax is utilized frequently in the fitness industry, specifically during the calculation of target heart rate when prescribing a fitness regimen. A quick way to estimate MHR is to subtract your age from 220, but HRmax can vary significantly between same-aged individuals so direct measurement using a heart rate monitor (and with medical supervision or at least permission and advice) should be used by those seeking maximum safety and effectiveness in their training.[2] People who have participated in sports and athletic activities in early years will have a higher MHR than those less active as children.[citation needed]


[edit] Measuring HRmax
The most accurate way of measuring HRmax for an individual is via a cardiac stress test. In such a test, the subject exercises while being monitored by an electrocardiogram (ECG). During the test, the intensity of exercise is periodically increased (if a treadmill is being used, through increase in speed or slope of the treadmill) until the subject can no longer continue, or until certain changes in heart function are detected in the ECG (at which point the subject is directed to stop). Typical durations of such a test range from 10 to 20 minutes. Since the HRmax declines with age, this test does not hold permanent value.

Conducting an accurate maximal exercise test requires expensive equipment, and should only be performed in the presence of medical staff due to risks associated with high heart rates. Instead, people typically use predictive formulae to estimate their individual Maximum Heart Rate. The most common formula encountered is:

HRmax = 220 − age (can vary)
This is often attributed to various sources, including "Fox and Haskell". While the most common (and easy to remember and calculate), this particular formula is not considered by some to be a good predictor of HRmax.

A 2003 study [1] of 43 different formulae for HRmax (including the one above) concluded the following:

1) No "acceptable" formula currently existed, (they used the term "acceptable" to mean acceptable for both prediction of , and prescription of exercise training HR ranges)

2) The most accurate formula of those examined was:

HRmax = 205.8 − (0.685 * age)
This was found to have a standard of error, that although large (6.4 bpm), still deemed to be acceptable, for the use of prescribing exercise training HR ranges.

Other often cited formulae are:

HRmax = 206.3 − (0.711 * age)
(Often attributed to "Londeree and Moeschberger from the University of Missouri-Columbia")

HRmax = 217 − (0.85 * age)
(Often attributed to "Miller et al. from Indiana University")

Sally Edwards, CEO of Heart Zones proposes a set of gender specific formula for predicting Maximum Heart Rate.[3]

For males: 210 - 1/2 your age - 1% of total body weight (in pounds) + 4 = HRmax
For females: 210 - 1/2 your age - 1% of total body weight (in pounds) + 0 = HRmax

Answer 9

a workout like that is fine, as long as you aren't pregnant or have a pre-existing medical condition. have fun.

Answer 10

yea its very good exersice and youll get strong...woohooo
