I'm doing an invention for a science project and I need a motion sensor that could be rigged to move with you.How would you get a motion sensor to move with you?You would need a stepper motor and a controller.
You would need to write a program to lock on to the motion.
There are some commercial units out there. Many are used for cameras.How would you get a motion sensor to move with you?you can use the principle of closed loop systems by making two sensors that detect motions and sum their output int an OP amplifier and feed the signal into a dc motor
let D1 and D2 so the normal output is 0 when D1 operate The OP will give a + signal so the motor will turn clockwise.
if D2 operate The OP will give a - signal so the motor will turn anti - clockwise
this is a very basic idea and i hope it will inspire you for a more complected system

Need help understanding a rotational motion physics concept. What exactly is a net torque?
My physics notes say that an object will remain in "a state of uniform motion unless acted on by a net torque." Does this mean that unless something stops an object from rotating, it will keep rotating forever? Is a net torque always equal to zero and will it keep an object at rest? Is a net torque a balanced force?Need help understanding a rotational motion physics concept. What exactly is a net torque?In answer to UR first question, a clarification is necessary: A rotating object may be: 1) spinning at constant speed (called "uniform motion") or 2) changing speed {either accelerating or decelerating angularly}.
If an object is spinning at CONSTANT speed it will do so forever IF no NET torque acts on it. As this is the same concept as is true for linear motion of objects when no NET force acts on them - it is part of Newton's 1st Law.
In order to have an object start spinning from rest OR have a spinning object CHANGE speed, a NET torque must act on the object.
A NET torque is never = 0 by definition. The fact that a NET torque exists means that the SUM of all torques that act on an object %26gt; 0. Therefore it is an UN-balanced torque.
Another physics name for "torque" is "moment". Both are identical in meaning and have as SI units: "meter-Newtons" or m-N.
{I always put the m before the N for torques/moments because vice-versa: "Newton-Meters" or N-m can be confused with the energy unit: Joules which is N-m also}Need help understanding a rotational motion physics concept. What exactly is a net torque?Hello Chevita127, yes unless an external force comes into play the body being in uniform motion would ever continue that motion.
In case of linear motion we use force. But in case of rotational motion we use moment of the force which is otherwise known as torque.
If we keep a magnetic needle in a region where two magnetic field interact at right angles to each other then the torque acting will become equal and opposite and hence the needle gets settled in an equilibrium deflected position.
Torque is a vector whose direction will be normal to the plane containing the force and the radius vector.Need help understanding a rotational motion physics concept. What exactly is a net torque?Torque is nothing more than a rotational twisting equivalent of a force. I will explain it later.
Before jumping to understand the principles of rotational motion, you should first be sure you fully understand the laws of pure translational motion. There are many analogies between the two, and there are ways in which the concepts relate.
Also, net is nothing more than total. As in a vector sum of all the influences (forces or torques depending on which you are interested in).
"Does this mean that unless something stops an object from rotating, it will keep rotating forever?"
Yes indeed. This is the rotational version of Newton's first law and the principle of inertia. Don't let frictional effects deceive you. Friction is a force/torque, just like a human push/pull or gravity is a force/can be a torque if applied correct.
"Is a net torque always equal to zero and will it keep an object at rest?"
No, it is not always equal to zero, otherwise I wouldn't be able to type this message. It is only zero, if the target body is either not rotating, or rotating at a constant speed, constant axis, constant direction (i.e. constant angular velocity).
A net torque of zero is necessary for a body to remain rotationally at rest. That is true. However, just because a net torque was zero, does not mean the body will be brought to rest. If a body spins free of friction with zero net torque, it will rotate forever around the same axis, at the same speed, in the same direction.
If an object is spinning at CONSTANT speed it will do so forever IF no NET torque acts on it. As this is the same concept as is true for linear motion of objects when no NET force acts on them - it is part of Newton's 1st Law.

What is the magnitude of the impulse required in the direction of motion to increase its speed?
A proton has mass 1.7 *10-27 kg. What is the magnitude of the impulse required in the direction of motion to increase its speed from 0.994c to 0.997c?What is the magnitude of the impulse required in the direction of motion to increase its speed?the magnitude of the impulse is equal the change in momentum, or mass times change in velocity. Since the velocity is so high in this case however, you must use the formula for momentum = mass * volume * (1/sqrt(1-(v/c)^2)). Use this formula to calculate initial and final momentum and then find the difference and that will be your answer.mopar arizona weather

What would be the point of a perpetual motion machine?
Lets say that someone invents a perpetual motion machine. One that is possibly realistic and is 100 percent efficient. What could you possible use it for other than possibly as a battery but even then the transfer from the machine to the outside world would come at a cost of efficiency, since if you take any energy out of it it will promptly stop being a perpetual motion machine. So then why do people try to create them when even if you could make one it would be pretty much useless.What would be the point of a perpetual motion machine?If you had the use of a perpetual motion machine you could increase the energy deficit that is created by other attempts to harvest energy sources.
The reason a perpetual motion machine doesn't exist at this point is because of friction and gravity. These two, if eliminated, could allow for much more efficient machinery. A gasoline-driven vehicle, even, would see an efficiency increase of over 50%.
It would cut down on energy costs, fuel consumption, and wear-and-tear on machined parts.What would be the point of a perpetual motion machine?The very existence of a perpetual motion machine would prove that all we think we know about thermodynamics is wrong. It would require a new theory to be formulated. It would show that all our thinking about the conservation of energy was wrong.
If you could invent a machine that produced enough energy to overcome its own friction, then it isn't really that much more difficult to build one that would produce a bit more energy than it needed. And then you'd have a free source of energy! You'd be a hero! 8^)ski doo new cd releases

NTSC standard frame rate is 30 fps (technically 29.97, but wikipedia does a better job explaining that item). If you increase that capture frame rate - like 120 fps or higher and playback at 30fps, then the playback will be in slow motion.
For example, supporting J I H, some Sony camcorders have a feature, "SmoothSlowRecord". They burst a higher frame (120-240fps) rate for 3 seconds and playback time is 12 seconds.
In support of Iridflare, when you consider that most consumer camcorders that use flash memory, DVD or hard disc drive for storage compress the video a LOT. And when you understand that video compression = discarded video data = reduced video quality, your goal, especially if you are planning slow motion video is to use the least amount of compression possible because you need the MOST amount of video data. In the consumer camcorder space, that typically means DV and HDV video formats, and that means miniDV tape.
The next piece has to do with the camcorder's shutter speed. Generally, when everything is in "auto" mode, the camcorder's shutter will be at 1/60 second or 1/125 second. With fast action, a lot can happen in that time. Increasing the camcorder's shutter speed to 1/500 secodn or 1/1000 second will help freeze the action...
There is no one thing that you can do that provides smooth and clear slow motion - but a combination of things. And yes, it is more important that the camera capture the high frame rate than iMovie's slow motion effect application - but both can work together to give you a good result.
And the imaging chip - whether single CCD or CMOS or 3CCD or 3CMOS has little to do with the slow motion capabilities of the camcorder. The chip merely interprets the light allowed in by the lens. But it is always preffered to have the largest imaging chip(s) and lenses possible to get as much light as possible. When the shutter speed is increased, you will need as much light as possible in to get a clear shot during the high frame rate capture.
If you stay to the 30 fps that most camcorders are limited to, increasing the shutter speed alone to about 1/500 second and using iMovie's slow effect can work - do that too much and you will have a "strobe" effect that is visually uncomfortable when viewed for long periods of time (though I have noticed that 1/1000 second to be much worse with that issue). And if you slow down much further than about 14 fps, the playback will look jerkey.
If you REALLY want to do high quality slow motion video, then you won't be using a consumer or prosumer grade camcorder or a bundled video editor - but a standalone camera that connects directly to the computer and specialized high speed capture/recording software designed to do thousands of frames per second. The video files captured to a hard drive are HUGE.Is getting a smooth slow motion due to the camcorder or the editing system?It's both! Highly compressed video recorded to DVD, HD or SD doesn't take kindly to being altered, so that's never a good choice. Slow motion is achieved by inserting extra frames - some editors are better than others at doing this (but I don't know how good iMovie is!). The number of imaging chips shouldn't have any effect.Is getting a smooth slow motion due to the camcorder or the editing system?I think that slow motion is achieved by recording at a fast speed %26amp; playing it back at a speed slower than the speed you record it, that is the way it is done %26amp; it's the camera that does it,not the software though you can alter the speed in most software packages.

How do newtons laws of motion relate to cooking?
I have to do a project on how Newton's Laws of Motion affect cooking. Can someone please help me in giving examples of how each law can relate to cooking?How do newtons laws of motion relate to cooking?Ok so when your boiling a pot with water in it and it on high, the hot molecules go up to the top of the pot. Then they go back to to the bottom when the are cooled. So when the water is at a rapid boil the the water is quickly cooling and getting hot. This also means that the water is slowly evaporating; or going away......I hope that helps you(:

How does ginger help with motion sickness?
I just heard that ginger helps with motion sickness, I'm just curious as to how it does so? Do you just cook with it? Do you have to eat it raw? Or do you have to apply it topically somewhere?How does ginger help with motion sickness?You can buy capsules at your local chain drugstore or health food store. Here is the pharmacology of it: "The antiemetic activity of ginger is believed to be due to shogaol, while gingerol has been shown to stimulate gastric secretions and peristalsis. The antiemetic activity of ginger has been documented to be comparable to several antiemetic medications, having local effects in the gastrointestinal tract and/or activity in the central nervous system. Due to a lack of sedative effects, ginger has been claimed to be superior to antihistamines for motion sickness. Ginger may delay coagulation by an effect on platelet-activating factor. Ginger may decrease nausea associated with radiation and chemotherapy."How does ginger help with motion sickness?You can get ginger capsules in many health food stores. It works just as well as many motion sickness pills and without the sleepiness that go with them.How does ginger help with motion sickness?There is a drink called bitters.

Calculate the work done on the block by the spring during the motion of the block?
The motion of the block from its initial position to where the spring has returned to its uncompressed length
A 8.00-kg block of ice is placed against a horizontal spring that has force constant k = 205 N/m and is compressed 0.034 m. The spring is released and accelerates the block along a horizontal surface. You can ignore friction and the mass of the spring. .Calculate the work done on the block by the spring during the motion of the block?The work equals the energy of the loaded spring:
W = 1/2 k d虏 = 0.5 x 205 x 0.034虏 = 0.12 J
The block mass is irrelevant.

I'm guessing your fixture has both a photo cell (sensor that tells the light to come on when it gets dark enough) and the motion sensor. Your photo cell could be out, telling the fixture that its never dark enough to come on. Or the motion sensor could be out and the photo cell still working just fine. If you'd like to email or IM over this matter I'd be happy to help. There's several things I could walk you through to locate the problem 23 yr. journeyman electricain. Not a big problem at all.

How much time do I have to resond to a motion for summary judgement?
I filed two previous motions -one to exclude evidence and one to compel requests for production. There has been no ruling by the judge. The key issue being that I wanted to exclude prejudicial documents from the defendant's motion for summary judgement but they included them anyway-without a ruling from the judge. Do I respond to the motion or wait for the ruling ?How much time do I have to resond to a motion for summary judgement?You still respond to the MSJ.
To prevail, the defendant has to convince the judge that, even if EVERYTHING you claim was true, you would still have no case.
The time to object to the defendants documents as prejudicial, or to compel production, is when/if the case goes to trial.
Remember, the MSJ requires him to convince the judge that you have NO CASE - not that he has a defense to your case.
RichardHow much time do I have to resond to a motion for summary judgement?The judge should have ruled on the motions before considering the MSJ. Check the clerk of courts website if you have not already done so to see if any entries were made. Or call the clerks office or go their personally, to get an explaination.
Your objections should be included in your Plaintiff's Reply to Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgement

What way does a motion detection spy cam work?
Does it only power up when motion is detected or what?What way does a motion detection spy cam work?I assume you are asking about a camera or webcam, likely connected to a computer. The system must always be up and running. The camera is acquiring images, and passing them to a software that does the motion detection. The software compares video frames, performs actions upon detection.
If the camera or computer goes into standby, the motion detection effectively stops.What way does a motion detection spy cam work?If by 'motion detector spy cam', you mean a motion detector, like those used on automatic doors (less exciting don't you think?), they work in several different ways. There are ultrasonic ones which work like sonar, bouncing out sound waves and monitoring the reflections to see if the environment is changing, and radar ones that work on a similar principle but with microwave pulses, like a police speed gun.
You might possible have meant infra-red although that's more commonly thought of as being used for night vision rather than motion detection.

It really depends on the motion. Some 'emergency' motions have to be heard quickly. Otherwise your motion may get added to a very large stack on the judge's desk.
If there is a really long delay, it might be a violation of rules for judges, and you may be able to file a complaint. I suggest that you get legal advice before taking any action against a judge, especially one that is about to rule on your motion.

What are some resources for obtaining a male model / fitness model type physique?
I am in good shape and actually am considering becoming a personal trainer myself, however I still have trouble obtaining what I would call the "ideal" body, either lifting weights too often and having some muscles become too big in proportion to my body or not lifting enough and feeling a lack of muscle, I am hoping that people on here can point me to some resources to obtain a male model / fitness model type physique.. everything seems to be geared towards bodybuilding which I have no interest in as I don't want to put on weight and become "huge".What are some resources for obtaining a male model / fitness model type physique?What you want to do as far as lifting weights is "toning" - lifting a set amount of weight for a certain amount of "reps"; then resting; then repeating the same amount of "reps"; resting again; then repeating the "reps" and then moving on to another body part.

Im an ok runner already so I think I may have a chance at making the team but I think I'll need to improve a bit to be in with a chance. I haven't had much practice and I don't really know how to train. Are there any running/breathing exercises can do? And what preparations should I make before the run? Anything else I need to know?How can I increase my stamina and general fitness?you need to train. 4-5 days a week, alternating interval work with distance/tempo runs. every 3rd day, do a sprint workout or a sprint ladder. also do core, which is basic ab workouts. the week before the run, do 1 sprint workout, 2 distance runs, and the day/night before the race, a longer, SLOW recovery run. make sure you stay hydrated, eat plenty of pasta/carbohydrates. on race day, eat at least 2 hours before your race, and make sure to stay hydrated. do a good warm-upHow can I increase my stamina and general fitness?Try this:
Run for 10 seconds, Sprint 10 seconds alternately.
You can also add walking into this.
Do both sprinting and long distance training.
Got a stitch? Count to 30 - thats what Paula Radcliff apparently does.
Have the right mindset and you should do fine. Eat carbs, don't run the day before.

Anything else I need to know?How can I increase my stamina and general fitness?you need to train. 4-5 days a week, alternating interval work with distance/tempo runs. every 3rd day, do a sprint workout or a sprint ladder. also do core, which is basic ab workouts. the week before the run, do 1 sprint workout, 2 distance runs, and the day/night before the race, a longer, SLOW recovery run. make sure you stay hydrated, eat plenty of pasta/carbohydrates. on race day, eat at least 2 hours before your race, and make sure to stay hydrated. do a good warm-upHow can I increase my stamina and general fitness?Try this:
Run for 10 seconds, Sprint 10 seconds alternately.
You can also add walking into this.
Do both sprinting and long distance training.
Got a stitch? Count to 30 - thats what Paula Radcliff apparently does.
Have the right mindset and you should do fine. Eat carbs, don't run the day before.
Good LuckHow can I increase my stamina and general fitness?Dude maybe it's safer to seek a professional advice for this. Anyway, try to visit http://fitnesssecrets-revealed.com and see if it helps.
Good luck to you!

Do your friends or family say nasty things to you about your diet/fitness efforts?
It seems that just when I am reaching my goals diet and fitness-wise, my aunt or my former best friend will say something like "you're still top heavy" or "you're losing your butt" or even "your left leg is bigger". I know I shouldn't care, but it really bothers me. I work really hard in my fitness regimen; and as anyone who has ever lost weight can attest, it's hard to sacrifice things you love for the greater good. It's like they don't want me to feel good about myself. If they love me, why do they do that?Do your friends or family say nasty things to you about your diet/fitness efforts?I get that alot and usually it's not ill intended people just don't think before they comment. I had to learn that I have a goal and when I work towards that it doesn't matter what anyone says. The payoff is in the end I will reach my goal with or without their comments. At times when I think it is just a nasty comment I add something back like, 'well i've been working out at the gym almost every day, maybe you'd like to join me," or "i'm following the weight watchers plan, maybe we could do it together," now and then someone will jump in but most of the time those with comments will quickly shut their mouth (haha)Do your friends or family say nasty things to you about your diet/fitness efforts?
They're probably jealous that you are motivated enough to work out and make progress.

You'll Do Great =DDo your friends or family say nasty things to you about your diet/fitness efforts?
They are probably just wishing they could be as motivated as you are. Or they are immature b!tches. None of my family would ever say anything like that, and if my friends did, they wouldn't be one anymore. They are supposed to be your support system and encourage you, not drag you down. I hope you do have some people who stand behind you and are rooting you on!Do your friends or family say nasty things to you about your diet/fitness efforts?Well it could mean two things one is that they are jealous of your success and want to express it by teasing you or discouraging you. Another is that they maybe teasing you because they want you to work even harder. When they say you are still fat that can be used as a motivation to work even harder and before you know it you will have a great body. So even though the words may seem harsh just take it positively as motivational words and everything should work out fine.Do your friends or family say nasty things to you about your diet/fitness efforts?
it sounds like jealousy; don't worry about them. You have to deal with yourself in the long run and your happiness

How do we improve brain fitness?
Brain is such a human machine, which if uses, will give more. If we don't use it, it will degrade. We all do physical fitness. How do we improve brain fitness?How do we improve brain fitness?A commercial brain fitness program has been shown to improve memory in older adults, at least in the period soon after training. The findings are the first to show that practicing simple visual tasks can improve the accuracy of short-term, or “working” visual memory. The research, led by scientists at UCSF, is also one of the first to measure both mental performance and changes in neural activity caused by a cognitive training program.
In the study, healthy older participants trained on a computer game designed to boost visual perception. After ten hours of training, they not only improved their perceptual abilities significantly, but also increased the accuracy of their visual working memory by about ten percent – bringing them up to the level of younger adults. Few brain training programs have been subjected to such rigorous research evaluation to reveal such a transfer of benefits, the researchers say.
Working memory is the ability to hold information in mind for brief periods. It is essential to accomplish immediate tasks, such as engaging in conversation with several people.
If improvements in a simple perception skill can transfer to a higher level function such as memory, as this research found, then other interventions might further improve brain function in aging people, the scientists say. The researchers recorded participants’ brain activity before and after the visual perception training, and found a direct link between improved performance and changes in brain activity. After the training, activity had decreased in a key brain area involved in processing visual input. The people who improved the most in the visual training showed the biggest drop in neural activity – as if the brain didn’t have to work as hard to take in information. The research is being published in the journal PLoS One on July 14, 2010.
“This confirms our understanding that the brains of older adults, like those of young people, are ‘plastic’ – the brain can change in response to focused training,” said Adam Gazzaley, MD, PhD, director of the Neuroscience Imaging Center at UCSF and senior author of the research paper. Gazzaley is associate professor of neurology, physiology and psychiatry at UCSF.
“The study shows that perceptual improvements with simple discrimination training can transfer to improved working memory in older adults, and it also shows that this increase in memory accuracy is linked to changes at the neural level.”
There are many brain fitness programs being marketed, but there has been little rigorous testing and evaluations of their effectiveness, Gazzaley said. “We zeroed in on one specific regimen, and we can see that at least with this approach, some brain fitness program claims may be warranted.”
Gazzaley’s team worked with researchers at Posit Science Corp., a producer and promoter of brain fitness programs. Posit Science was co-founded by Michael Merzenich, PhD, a leader in brain plasticity research and an emeritus professor at UCSF. Posit Science funded the research.
Memory improvement was measured about one week after the visual perception training ended. The scientists did not assess how long the memory improvement might last beyond that period without continued training.
A further test showed that if participants had to multi-task during the memory testing, they did not receive the memory boost from the previous perception training. Gazzaley hopes that more studies can lead to ways to help people improve their ability to mentally process simultaneous tasks – a skill that declines in many older adults.
The study involved two sets of 15 healthy adults from age 60 to 89. One group participated in the training. The second group served as the control, taking the memory tests but not the visual perception training. No participants had dementia, but the group showed a range of mental fitness typical of an aging population. The average age was 72. Most were college educated, middle class people.
People in both groups were given a baseline working memory test consisting of watching dots move across the computer screen, followed by a short delay and then re-testing to see if they remembered exactly in which direction the dots had moved. The memory test was given to both groups again after the experimental group had participated in ten hours of visual perception training. This training challenged players to discriminate between different shapes of sine waves, or S-shaped patterns, moving across the screen.
The training program was designed so that as a participant’s skill level improved, the task became progressively harder. The drills lasted 40 minutes, and were given three to five times a week for three to five weeks. All trained participants improved their ability to distinguish between the two different moving shapes.
.How do we improve brain fitness?The MOST important thing is to eat naturally..without medicines, chemicals, "starving" your self etc.
first, it would be best for you to eat as healthy as possible..this will also help you considerably to lose weight gradually and naturally..
eat fresh fruits, vegetables, drink plenty of WATER..avoid all cokes, caffeines, smoking, alchohol etc. as these also add weight as well as they contain chemicals which disturb your natural bio rythmns as well as brain chemistry. try not to eat too much meat, and the meat you should eat should be "lean meat" such as steamed chicken and rice, or steamed fish with rice..and vegetables,, this should be your staple diet rice and vegetables with fruits..AVOID "JUNK FOOD" and "Fast Food" as this type of food is very unhealthy, lacking in vitamins really and has plenty of fattening molecules which make one gain weight and is very bad for overall health.
if you snack,, try fruits with yogurt or fruit yogurt and nuts.. nuts are very healthy for your body .and contain proteins.
go for walks every evening or morning or whenever you get time each day for 1 hour or 2 hours..make this somewhere you enjoy walking even if you have to drive a bit to there..and make this a daily routine..you will enjoy it once you get into it ..and it makes you feel great after..just walking for 1 hour or 2 hours.
if you do this..every day for one month ..you should lose around 10 pounds (.714 stone) per month until you get to your natural healthy weight.. look up on the internet for an idea of what your weight for your height should be ..and when you get to this weight,,your body will look very nice and you will feel very good.
10 pounds (.714 stone ) each month in 3 months you should lose 30 pounds (2 stones, 2 pounds)..for sure...but no junk food and dont drink alcohol or smoke, dont eat junk..just healthy food with vitamins and walking 1 hour or 2 hours every day..and drink plenty of water..this is guaranteed way to lose weight naturally and for good, if you stick to this, which you should,,as it makes you feel so much more positive due to the vitamins and lack of chemicals making you feel depressed...
btw, forgot to mention,,just in case you dont know how to really make healthy meals..buy a "food steamer" at your local deparment store..they are very cheap and work very well..as well as buy a "rice cooker" which is also very cheap..eating rice is a great way to get your necessary carbs "healthy carbs" to lose weight and has lots of natural energy inside. you can buy asian rice at most large supermarkets or if you have a local oriental market..they sale quality asian rice.. thai or indian rice is good "jasmine rice".. buy corn or canola oil to sprinkle on vegetables or rice before steaming to add to taste as well as you can buy several nice spices like "cumin" or "Curry powders", etc.just sprinkle on the vegetables before steaming to give nice taste.
drink "Green Tea" as this is very healthy and helps burn extra fat faster...you can buy quality green tea at most oriental shops or large supermarkets as wellHow do we improve brain fitness?sudoku,chess,crosswords etcHow do we improve brain fitness?
eat healthy,drink tonsa water...work out,try challenge urself with quizzes,playin puzzles or solvin sudoku (very good for the brain)
also,get enough rest.a tired brain never ever works properly.

How do you get a job at a fitness center?
How does one go about gettting a job at a fitness center? I don't have a degree in fitness, I just thought it would be a fun part-time job because I enjoy working out myself. what kinds of jobs are available in the fitness center? Well besides being a trainer. Has anyone ever worked at one? or is working at one now? How was your experience? thanks. =)How do you get a job at a fitness center?i had a lot of friends when i was in high school that worked at the gym as desk girls. they greeted people and sold drinks and stuff. they got free memberships. what they told me was it was alot of hours for not much pay. to be able to work at one, i would say the only requirement is to be pretty...seriously. even if you're fat...just be pretty.How do you get a job at a fitness center?Yes, you def need sales experience, or degree in fitness if you want to be A SALES REP OR PERSONAL TRAINER. But you really dont need a lot of experience to work in the child care or front desk. Experience is always a plus in customer service, unless its your first job, then its understandable. usually they need evening workers and evenings because thats when gyms are busiest. but perks include discount or free gym memebership.
i started out in the nursery/front desk... now i am a certified personal trainer... i just worked my way to the top! good luck!

What is a good resource for free fitness classes?
I want to start working out more often, but I don't have the time to go to the gym on a regular basis, and I get bored of running/jump roping and other repetitive stuff like that. I have attended a cardio workout class at the gym, and I really enjoyed it, but it doesn't fit my schedule to go every week. Does anyone know of free videos online that are the same? Just something that is cardio and is an actual lesson.
Thanks!What is a good resource for free fitness classes?Have you considered Workouts On Demand- you can simply download the exercise videos right from the web, pretty cool! http://www.workoutsondemand.com

How far should an adult of average fitness and size be able to hit a baseball?
We were at the local ball field trying to play home run derby and no of us could get the ball over the 300 foot fence. Do we suck or does it take someone special to hit a ball that far? We all played baseball in high school so we aren't total scrubs, but I was surprised that we couldn't hit it out of this little park..How far should an adult of average fitness and size be able to hit a baseball?How often does the adult of average fitness and size in question swing the bat? Practice and technique have as much to do with going yard as being in shape. You can't really say that a person in Size and Shape X should hit it this far, Size and Shape Y this far, and so on.How far should an adult of average fitness and size be able to hit a baseball?I'm surprised that you couldn't hit it out. 300 feet is pretty close for baseball, especially if you are specifically trying to hit home runs. I am an average sized adult (about 5'10'' 190 lbs) and played a little bit of varsity baseball while I was in high school. I know for a fact that i could hit a ball well over 300 feet, so maybe you guys do just suck. Sorry haha.How far should an adult of average fitness and size be able to hit a baseball?Were you throwing full speed pitches or were you just lobbing the ball? The speed of the pitch has a lot to do with how far it goes.
But also, if you haven't played in a while it takes time to be able to hit balls 300 feet again.How far should an adult of average fitness and size be able to hit a baseball?
An average adult should easily be able to hit a baseball a good 2 or 3 miles.

Why did my Senior Marine Instructor say to bring an umbrella to Air Force Physical Fitness?
My asked my Senior Marine Instructor about the Air Force and he told me a little bit about it and he also said something about bringing and umbrella to the Air Force Physical Fitness and I am not sure why. I forgot to ask him why? Does anyone know?Why did my Senior Marine Instructor say to bring an umbrella to Air Force Physical Fitness?So the marine would have something to place up his lower orifice.
Just how would a marine know anything about an Air Force PT test ?
Yea, I guess the Air Force just hates cold or hot weather,
Thats why they have bases like Loring AFB in Maine, Grand Forks AFB in North Dakota, FE warren in Wyoming, Minot in SD,
Or Anderson AFB in Guam, Eglin AFB in Fla, KIRTLAND AFB NM .
And marines have those extreme weather bases like Camp Lejeune, or 29 Palms. yea gets real cold or hot at those.yea right.
And the Army has those extreme weather bases up north in kentucky or way down south in georgia.
Are people so stupid that they think the AF shuts down when it gets cold or hot, rains or hails ?Why did my Senior Marine Instructor say to bring an umbrella to Air Force Physical Fitness?
Because the AF PT is pathetic and the Marine was implying also that he's tougher than them and that their physical training is a joke.
I wouldn't let that discourage you from joining the AF though, since that's what you wanna do. Just don't get too lazy driving around the flight line in a golf cart lol.Why did my Senior Marine Instructor say to bring an umbrella to Air Force Physical Fitness?LOL I knew some Air Force and even some Army folks from units that NEVER deploy who would cancel PT due to inclement weather.
Tell that to a veteran of a line unit, and they might have trouble stopping laughing.
Sounds to me like it as a joke but it also sounds to me there are alot of AF haters on here. ALL branches of the military have an impt role in protecting our country. No one branch could do it alone. Yes some branches are more on the front lines while some are further back...but what do you expect? To land jets in the middle of the war? The jets are stored miles upon miles away and those very impt ppl who fly and service those jets are also miles upon miles away. Get over yourself ppl and start respecting our hardworking military Airmen!!Why did my Senior Marine Instructor say to bring an umbrella to Air Force Physical Fitness?ROFL ***** hilarious **** right there. And jeepers is a hater just cuz were the best. How would I know about the AF? cuz Ive served next to them. And when theyre put up into a hotel and we sleep in tents just to go to the same range..... Well are they at war or on a business trip. Its the Chair Force for a reason.Why did my Senior Marine Instructor say to bring an umbrella to Air Force Physical Fitness?
Air Force don't run in the rain.
They don't run if it is too hot or too cold.
They don't run if the ground is uneven. (Seriously, they won't run on gravel roads or off road because they are scared someone will twist an ankle or trip and fall.)
Wow ...a bunch of winner answers here....comedians....i'll admit our PT isn't anything like the other branches.....but what's even funnier....is that i've worked with alot of soldiers...that are simply overweight....actually at this FOB that i'm at...never in my life have i seen so many FAT BODIES.......i'm AF....working an ARMY mission...i've been here for almost 1yr...yeah we might not have a great PT plan....but atleast we're not in the FAT KID line at the chow hall.................**** you guys have probably never step foot outside the U.S....trying to answer this question like you've actually been in the service before....CIVILIAN PUKE....

So you'd look like a moron and they would tell you to go back to the marines.
I've lived all over the world from Japan to England. Still don't like the Marines.
They are used in case of rain, or terrorist attackstrade in value auto salvage
Just how would a marine know anything about an Air Force PT test ?
Yea, I guess the Air Force just hates cold or hot weather,
Thats why they have bases like Loring AFB in Maine, Grand Forks AFB in North Dakota, FE warren in Wyoming, Minot in SD,
Or Anderson AFB in Guam, Eglin AFB in Fla, KIRTLAND AFB NM .
And marines have those extreme weather bases like Camp Lejeune, or 29 Palms. yea gets real cold or hot at those.yea right.
And the Army has those extreme weather bases up north in kentucky or way down south in georgia.
Are people so stupid that they think the AF shuts down when it gets cold or hot, rains or hails ?Why did my Senior Marine Instructor say to bring an umbrella to Air Force Physical Fitness?

Police Officers: What are the phyiscal fitness requirements to qualify for your department?
What tests do you have to do? What are the standards for those tests? On a side note, is it required to carry a tazer if your department has them?Police Officers: What are the phyiscal fitness requirements to qualify for your department?The ability to run 1 1/2 miles in a certain amount of time - depending on gender and age.
Sit and reach
Bench press - 85 % of body weight
Taser is mandator on our deptPolice Officers: What are the phyiscal fitness requirements to qualify for your department?
In Mass, they are required to complete the physical challenges of the police academy which includes an agility test, run a mile in a certain amount of time, some weight lifting minimums, push ups, ect.. Its very similar to the physical tests given in military boot camp. On my dad's department they are required to maintain and pass a fitness test every year, including a mile long run, bench press, push ups, and they also are required to take a continuing education test on their knowledge of the laws, and a firearms exam.
In the academy they are required to pass the following areas:
Constitutional Law
Criminal Law
Crisis Intervention/Conflict Resolution
Physical Training
Patrol Procedures
Defensive Driving
Self Defense
Firearm Training
First Responders
Satisfactory score can differ from state to state.
My dad does not carry a tazer, so it is not required in his department, although he does carry military grade pepper spray.Police Officers: What are the phyiscal fitness requirements to qualify for your department?Our department requires a 300 meter sprint in less that 63 seconds, 28 push ups in one minute, 35 sit ups a minute, a vertical jump of 18 1/2 inches, and a 1 1/2 mile run in less than 14 1/2 minutes. If you fail any one task, you fail the entire test.
As far as the taser, you are not mandated to carry it. If we want one, we sign it out at the beginning of our shift.
Alabama Peace Officers Standard of Training (APOST) requires a run of 1 1/2 miles in less than 15.5 minutes. 25 push-ups and 25 sit-ups in less than 90 seconds. and an obstacle course consisting of pushing a vehicle 15 feet, running 50 feet, getting over a 6' fence, run another 50 feet, get through a 2' square window, run another 50 feet, walk a balance beam, and drag a 165 lb. mannequin (I forget how far) in less than 90 seconds. This is the minimum requirements to be admitted to a police academy. Some academies require you to improve these at certain intervals during the academy.
My department will issue Tasers to any certified officer who wants one. It is not required.Police Officers: What are the phyiscal fitness requirements to qualify for your department?In Florida, you have to swim 100 yards with all your clothes on, including shoes. I don't remember if they let you touch the ground or not? It's not easy; at least 30% of people fail this 1st step.
After that, a physical agility test will be administered. This includes an 18 point obstical course and a 1/2 mile run under 8 minutes. Jump your height, trigger pulls, 100 foot car push...Police Officers: What are the phyiscal fitness requirements to qualify for your department?
My agency has a yearly test. You have to run I think the test is a quarter of a mile long. There are different obstacles along the way. A 150 pound rescue dummy to be dragged; climbing a cattle gate; running up steps; dry firing a duty weapon.
Also pushups/setups based on age. In my agency if you were issued a taser and failed to carry it then you would loose it to a long line of willing people wanting a taser. They are very sought after. Also why would you go through the pain of "voluntary" taser exposure not to carry your X-26.
We don't have any formal fitness tests other than a thorugh medical exam and screening. The standard for a lot of WI Departments is what Trooper mentioned.
As for the Taser, we are issued one and a required to carry it at all times.Police Officers: What are the phyiscal fitness requirements to qualify for your department?
In NC, to obtain Basic Law Enforcement Certification, you have to pass the POPAT (Police Officer Physical Assessment Test.) It is a timed physical agility test that includes things like push-ups(40), sit-ups(40), running (600yd), and dragging a body/dummy fifty feet. You have seven minutes and twenty seconds to complete the test. It's required to obtain your certification, and most departments here require you to complete one prior to being hired. They are aiming to make it a yearly requirement to maintain your certification. I support this wholeheartedly. We need more physically fit officers out there.
We are not required to carry tasers at my department, but we have access to them. I always carry one while on duty because I prefer to be as armed as possible. They are excellent less than lethal tools for cops, and I imagine you won't find a lot of officers that wouldn't like to carry one if they could.
They have to be able to eat a dozen donuts a shift. LOL.

How to choose a bike for fitness purposes?
I want to purchase a bike I can ride to the store, around the neighborhood, to the park's trails, the dirt trail near our house, etc. I want to start riding to get in shape. I live near the library, parks, friends houses, etc, and would like to start riding instead of driving. I dont know WHAT to look for in a bike, or how much Im looking to spend. Any features I should look for? Brands you recommend? Thanks!How to choose a bike for fitness purposes?If your dirt trails are fairly smooth it looks like you would be prime for a hybrid. There are several types some more like road (racing type) bikes others closer to mountain bikes. Still others close to a cruiser type. (like old fashioned single speed bikes) Some have an upright riding position, and still others require you to lean forward and down more.
If you want to ride dirt roads and trails get one that more like a mountain bike. It will have a little sturdier frame, fatter tires -far better on dirt and gravel. Most are muti-speed and I would recommend this. The tires should have some tread to give you traction in soft dirt and gravel but not too much as to make pavement riding rough.
It would do you well to visit a few bike shops to see all these different variations to get a feel of what is available. Ask questions see what the shops have to say. Explain what you want from the bike, this is a great way to zero in on what you really need.
I really can't say I prefer a brand as there really are many good bikes from large and small companies alike. This is how I would look for one.How to choose a bike for fitness purposes?
Anything but crap you find you find at Wal-Mart. First go to a bike shop and talk to the owner. All bikes are different and have different uses such as a Mountain Bike is not meant to be ridden on the road, but a road bike is not a mountain bike and never will be. All bikes are made of components such as Sram, Shimano, Suntour, or Compy. You can peel the paint off every frame and all you get is a metal frame with components. That's why go to bike shop and be measured(Wear your bike shorts) for correct fitting because all bikes are different.How to choose a bike for fitness purposes?Wow I came in late. You have a couple good answers already. My 2 cents is that I think you would like a hybrid bike. So when you go to those bike shops have them show you a few.
I ride a mountain bike with slick tires to run errands and ride on rough roads and gravel. I can also switch out the tires at any time and have a very worthy off road bike. Plus it fits me and I think it looks cool. (Im a geek) It has a rigid fork because for the money I could put better components on it without buying an expensive front shock. Rigid forks Are also better for riding on pavement where I spend most of my time with this bike. Unless you're in really wet conditions or plan to ride steep off road trails I wouldn't get disc brakes (they're more complicated, heavier, and more expensive) Regular V type brakes are really good stoppers. The bikes frame and wheels have the most impact on the feel and handling of the bike so if you're going to cut back don't do it there. Most importantly make sure the bike fits you properly. A cheap bike that fits correctly is more comfortable and fun to ride than an expensive one that doesn't fit. So go to a good shop and get fitted before you decide on what brand or model you want . They should take several measurement to ensure a good fit. Have fun. I love running errands on my bike, for some reason it makes them much more interesting.How to choose a bike for fitness purposes?Trek SU200
I wanted to get my girlfriend into cycling and on a bike I would consider owning while not shelling out a ton of money.
All my research lead to the Trek SU200 and I bought one.
It's a real nice bike for all occasions and looks slick to boot.
Give it a look.How to choose a bike for fitness purposes?
You have a couple good answers. I think something like a Trek 7200 would work for you. At least if you looked at one of those you would see about what you need. The biggest reason to stay away from the department store bikes is that they do not have people there to help get the bike that fits you and to adjust it correctly. Also they usually fall apart from not being assembled correctly.
Either a hybrid or a hard tail mountain bike with slick tires. Go to your local bike shop. Tell them where you want to ride and let them recommend AND SIZE a bike for you. Then, most important, test ride it. If you want fitness from riding a bike, you have to ride it a lot. You won't do that if the bike isn't comfortable because it doesn't fit you correctly.
HTHHow to choose a bike for fitness purposes?
I also seriously recommend considering a hybrid or cross, and I'd try to go as light weight as possible, while also getting a bike with a little wider tires.
The biggest problem (in my opinion) with either mountain or comfort bikes is they're just too heavy and clumsy for zipping around town. A lot harder to pedal so they're too tiring to ride any decent distance, or get any real speed out of. If you don't plan on riding more than 5 miles max., well, at least you'll get quite the workout during that 5 miles.
On a good road bike, once you get build up a good cadence, 20 miles no longer seems like much.
It sounds like you want something inbetween, and that's where a good cross or hybrid comes in. As other people here have pointed out, please go to a good bike store, let them know what you're looking for, so they can assist in deciding on your best options, and help you get fitted.
On the right bike, riding is sheer joy. On the wrong bike, pure pain. Everyone's different, and the only way you will be able to tell which one is right for you is to get on a number of them and try them out.
It's hard to actually recommend a bike for you without knowing more about your body type, shape, and many other factors. You see, I'm a petite little woman and using slightly wider Terry Treilis tires, can ride my road bike even on most dirt trails--but I still ride my old commuter bike for winter, shopping and running errands.
Treks are good bikes, but so are many the various other brands stocked by reputable bike shops. Just don't go to Walmart and buy a Huffy!

In gym class we did a resting heart rate test and mine wasnt very low even though Im sweet at running. My friends resting rate was 10 BPM lower than mine but i can beat him in any race by alot. So obviously HR isnt a good indicator of fitness. Any of you people about there know why?Is resting heart rate a good indicator of fitness?It is a marker of fitness, trained athletes can have a bradycardia, i,e a HR of less than 60. A lower heart rate means that the heart functions well and is efficient. You cannot however measure it as a direct scale, for example if your heart rate is 62 and mine is 59 that I am fitter. Also thats not to say that the lower the heart rate the FASTER the person, perhaps you are simply a better runner than your friend. Is resting heart rate a good indicator of fitness?Resting heart rate can be influenced by bio-feedback so that it is as much driven non-health issues.
It can be modified by your emotional state at the moment.

What temperature should I keep my fitness center?
I keep it at 72 during the coldest winter months. 70 during the spring and drop it no lower than 66 during the summer. My members want it turned down to 60, I think that is way too cold. Aren't you supposed to sweat in the gym?What temperature should I keep my fitness center?You are supposed to be all for the people. So go with the customer!What temperature should I keep my fitness center?
the gym i used to go to... during the summer would keep it around 66 n on super super nasty hot days thay would lower it to 64!! its ur gym u put it at whatever u want itWhat temperature should I keep my fitness center?I would think you would keep the gym the same temp year round. They do where I have gone for years. If cold, you dont feel like exercising nor too hot. Having the same temp means you know what clothing to wear inside. 72 sounds like a great temp.
Sweating is part of the body's natural way of cooling itself down, vital when exercising. You may want to google and find out recommendations on temp settings or call/email a large facility that could advise us. Try www.lvac.com for las vegas athletics clubs or something in your areaWhat temperature should I keep my fitness center?
I'd say you need to adjust it to the number of people in the gym- more people working harder = a very stuffy and uncomfortable work out environment.What temperature should I keep my fitness center?Yeah, keep it at 66 as the low. Those babies should sweat and stop worrying about ruining their hair or getting sweaty!What temperature should I keep my fitness center?
IF THE MEMBERS ARE WORKING OUT HARD THEY ARE GOING TO BE SWEATING EVEN IF IT IS 60 IN THERE. I THINK YOUR TEMPS ARE REASONABLE AND YOUR CUSTOMERS NEED TO CONSIDER THAT THE EMPLOYEES THERE ARE NOT WORKING OUT AND THEY DONT WANT TO FREEZE TO DEATH

Can the Wii Fit really help to improve fitness?
Is it true that the Wii Fit can help us to lose weight and also to improve our fitness?Can the Wii Fit really help to improve fitness?I have the Wii Fit and I honestly don't like it that much. The balance games are fun, but I really don't think that it helped my fitness at all. Get the My Fitness Coach. That is definitely worth the money and it is like an all-in-one workout tape. I think it will improve my fitness a lot!Can the Wii Fit really help to improve fitness?Nintendo initially with Wii Fit wanted something that improved upon and helped people towards a healthier life. I can say that some activities such as the jogging will help with weight loss but not by much. Most of the weight loss will be water. Sure, it will help you improve your life but only with a steady active life in addition with the that. Just don't expect too much weight loss alone with that.Can the Wii Fit really help to improve fitness?Not really. I have it and the only thing I think is alright is the muscle workouts and yoga. Everything else is jut fun and games really. I go to the gym a lot so I'll definately carry on using the muscle training alongside my other training though.
If you're extremely obese then any form of movement will be good. They're the only people who would probably benefit from Wii Fit. The island lap jogging only just about got my heart rate up.Can the Wii Fit really help to improve fitness?
I think it can, but it's the same with any kind of home fitness equipment, you need to have a lot of motivation and use it regularly.
If you use it at least 3/4 times a week, I think you would notice a difference after about 6 weeks or so. It's just difficult to keep at it. I used mine for about 2-3 weeks then got a bit bored of it.pdd nos sea ray

How to get myself into the fitness lifestyle?
I somewhat exercise and eat healthy but I would like to be a fit, more active person. What things could I incorporate to change my lifestyle to a fit lifestyle? I'm 17 and planning to join cross country this upcoming school year.How to get myself into the fitness lifestyle?Baby steps bud that is all. Start by (please dont hate me for this) getting into classes resembling aerobics. Trust me dude that will teach you to be more coordinated and methodical about gymming and working out plus you get to lose a few pounds to get into the whole fitness system. Go to gym just for classes 2 times a week for starters for about 2 months. Spend an 1 hour there. After that within 2 months of Fit Kombat Fit jump or Fit Localized or Core classes you can spend a little more time at gym. Spend 2 hours at gym 3 times a week. Pick 2 days just for cardio exercises and 1 day just for free weights. At free weights start small and pick your weeks for 1 half of your body to work out. 1 Week (1 day of the week) for legs and frontal torso and 1 week for back torso but in all weeks of free weights you have to work out arms. Now working out arms and legs is just not that simple. I advise you to get a trainer for the first month you get into that. After 2 months of working out like that keep spending your 3 days at gym but now spend 2 hours a day of cardio and 3 hours a day of free weights and now you can incorporate more exercises in free weights and therefore have more time to work out. Another time saver in free weights is to alternate exercises. While youre doing any exercise of arms and you finished your set of reps, imeadetely start another set of reps in a whole different exercise working out different muscles like squats for your legs. You will not be feeling too tired since youre working out another muscle. Also remember to start small in accordance to your THRESHOLD and POSTURE. If your weights are too heavy for your correct posture then go lighter because it can damage your body. You will not be seen as a little girl or worse. Much to the contrary you will be respected by those who take gymming seriously.
About food. Eat a lot of fibre and minerals. Sweet potatoes are excellent protein foods as well as Quinoa being very rich in fibre. Stay off whey and soy supplements as whey even tough its ideal its really dodgy coz you dont know what goes in there. Soy in excess can cause erectile disfunctions. Keep your diet as natural as possible specially in the morning. Drink about 3 glasses of room temperature water 30 minutes before breakfast every morning and start substituting certain breakfast ingredients for healthier ones. Like fruit. Oat meal. Kellogs special K. All bran flakes is bad for you as its like digesting cardboard. Too harsh for your stomach. Replace your sugar in your cofee for honey or fructose. Too much fructose can still be detrimental to you. Remember tough. The secret to health is balance. Not excess. Finally stay off fried food and red meat. Eat poultry or ostrich or emu steaks as they are excellent or stay with your conventional free range chicken. Stay cool. See ya.How to get myself into the fitness lifestyle?Keep active in all you do! Instead of going on the computer or watching tv go for a walk or something along those lines. Exercise more often and learn to push yourself but not too much as in to hurt yourself. Make sure you know the requirements of cross country and you are able to do so! Have a great school year!

I live in the city and it's kinda hard to get fit because of many disadvantages. 1 example is that you cant really just run around the neighborhood without worried about getting mugged.

Eek, you must live in a bad neighborhood. The main thing people do is join gyms. A lot of places also have public pools and running tracks. You can also work out pretty much all your muscles with just pushups, pullups, situps, squats, and lunges, none of which require equipment (if you do pullups at the local playground; otherwise you can buy a pullup bar for like $10), and you can jog in place, jump in place, do jumping jacks, or do aerobics videos for cardio.

How much fitness do we lose after seven days off?
will I lose much fitness if I do not do anything for seven days in a row?How much fitness do we lose after seven days off?According to Jack Daniels, noted track coach and author of Daniels Running Formula, you lose almost nothing after 7 days. In fact, if you have been training heavily the reduction in training may actually improve your performance and cause you to peak.
When returning to training you should reduce the total mileage the first week back. The first half of the return week should be at 50%. The second half at 75%. The following week you can return to a normal training load.How much fitness do we lose after seven days off?
ohhhhh buddy a lot of fitness. i didn't run for 3 days after that i can't even do my warm up. i get tired. and my knee start to hurt very badly. well next time you go to practice don't go so hard.How much fitness do we lose after seven days off?2 weeks of cardio fitness, minimal anaerobic fitness
a lot, dont take a week off, it will take forever to get back where you startedHow much fitness do we lose after seven days off?a lotHow much fitness do we lose after seven days off?
lol in one week! it all depends on how long you have been training for fitness does not go away overnight! or in a week if u took 2-3 weeks off u will lose some fitness but it will be easier to get it back that it was when u first got it when im about compete and i want to peak for a big comp we do a 10 day taper which we do almost nothing very very light stuff and 1 week could be very god for the body you could come back fresher and better!
You lose about two weeks progress for every week off. Don't expect to be back at same level at the end of the week off as you were at the beginning. That said, a day or two off after a long period of intense training may help you recover and help your muscles grow.How much fitness do we lose after seven days off?
Seven days is not that much if you were in good condition before taking off. It will take you a couple of weeks to get back to where you were before the time off. If you are taking off for an injury there are other things you can do to maintain cardio, such as, cycling, swimming, eliptical, or deep water running. If it was a rest for physical or mental reasons, maybe you should do something easy like walking to keep yourself moving without training.
Too much....don't do it. It would take about 10-15 days at least to get back into the shape you were in before.
i havent run for a couple of months and dont think i lost any muscle,but im not an expert.thanks for the 2 pts
i read in runner's world magazine that you start to lose it the third day in a row that you don't run. so try not to let more that 2 days go in between runs. i took a couple weeks off earlier this month and i felt like i was back to the beginning!
Its been proven that when u miss a practice, it takes double what u missed to get back (thats not including days of rest which are very essential if u wanna be a top runner).
example: If u miss 1 day, it takes 2 days to get back.
if u miss 2 days, u need 4 days to get back,etc,etc
therefore if u miss one week, then it will take u approximately 2 weeks to get back.Good Luck.
