These children are in grave danger.”

  • 2. Rowing
  • 3. Swimming
  • Not only do these three exercises burn the most calories in 30 minutes (avg. 300 for a 145 pound person), but they also build muscle and tone your entire body
  • Walking, biking and even using the elliptical trainer will not work your body as hard or as well, because those exercises target your lower body and leave your upper body hanging out and doin’ nothing.
  • If you don’t even have 30 minutes in your action-packed schedule to get to the gym, try jumping rope
  • but 10 minutes of jumping rope can burn up to 200 calories
  • It is really easy to find excuses not to work out, but try and squeeze these exercises into your day. You’ll feel better, look better, and give yourself a much needed break from catching up on all the reading you’re somehow already behind on even though it’s only the first day of class.

Teens School Work

  • For some teens working while studying is easy, for others it is a nightmare, the first decision you and your teen have to make is if it is possible to juggle work and school at the same time.
  • Will the job influence your teen’s school performance in a positive or a negative way.
  • teach him a few things about responsibility and discipline which will help your teen with his school performance.

  • On the other hand some teens will find it too difficult to have a job and go to school and they will cut corners, skip their homework and eventually their academic achievements will drop.
  • You also need to consider if this will influence the extracurricular activities of your teenage
  • If your teen can’t handle both it doesn’t mean that your teen should only focus on school and skip having a job, just encourage him to look around and find a more appropriate job position.

Teens Homework Study Plan

shared by Aninder S on 08 Jan 12 - Cached
  • Create a Homework Plan
  • First, be sure you understand the assignment. Write it down in your notebook or day planner if you need to, and don't be afraid to ask questions about what's expected
  • It's much easier to take a minute to ask the teacher during or after class than to struggle to remember later that night!
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Second, use any extra time you have in school to work on your homework
  • Many schools have study halls that are specifically designed to allow students to study or get homework done
  • It's tempting to hang out with friends during study periods or unstructured time, but the more work you can get done in school, the less you'll have to do that night.
  • Third, pace yourself
  • If you don't finish your homework during school, think about how much you have left and what else is going on that day, and then budget your time
  • Most high-school students have between 1 and 3 hours of homework a night.

Should I be having protein bars, after I workout? - 1 views

protein bars after workout

shared by Gurkirat S on 09 Jan 12 - No Cached
  • Gurkirat S on 09 Jan 12
     
    There are good protein bars for you and bad protein bars. To distinguish the difference, good protein bars would contain things like less sugar and have high carbohyrdrates and proteins. But something that is even better than protein bars, is protein shakes because shakes are digested faster by your body than solid food. Also you have more control over the protein shake than a bar, due to the fact, you can make your protein shake from scratch and know what's being put into it. Only good thing about protein bars is that they are convienent when you don't have time to whip up a protein shake. Another way is you don't need to have protein bars nor shakes, you can simply take natural alternatives like nuts, which are high in protein, healthy and convienent too.

  • If you want to build muscle you need to do two things. You must lift weights and you have to eat a healthy muscle building diet.
  • Healthy diets for muscle building require you to consume more calories. Of course this only applies if you are already fit and trying to gain muscle mass. It does not apply if you are overweight and trying to lose a few pounds.
  • For a rough estimate of daily calories you should consume for a muscle building diet, multiply your body weight in pounds by 20.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Protein intake must be increased
  • Fats are also essential to healthy diets for muscle building, but these should be healthy fats such as olive oil, flaxseed oil and nuts
  • Cut out sugary drinks like soft drinks and alcohol.
  • Whey protein powder is especially effective for muscle building and easy to consume. A scoop of whey protein dissolves easily in water or milk.

cdc carbohydrates exercise healthy

shared by Test T on 15 Nov 11 - No Cached
  • Q: I've heard it is more important to worry about carbohydrates than calories. Is this true? A: By focusing only on carbohydrates, you can still eat too many calories. Also, if you drastically reduce the variety of foods in your diet, you could end up sacrificing vital nutrients and not be able to sustain the diet over time.
  • Test T on 15 Nov 11
     
    This is a good starting point but there isn't any information about carbohydrates and exercise.

    This is probably a better place to comment than the annotation option shown in the second screencast. This way, everyone in the group, including Mr. Levitt, can see what you have to say. I'm going to recommend that you comment here rather than annotate on the page with a sticky note. Remember, this commenting and highlighting process is all about documenting your learningl Mr. Levitt needs to see you finding the answers to your questions through this process. It's a new way of demonstrating your learning, but one I hope you will enjoy. ~Mrs. Levitt :)

  • When people talk about the calories in food, what do they mean? A calorie is a unit of measurement — but it doesn't measure weight or length. A calorie is a unit of energy. When you hear something contains 100 calories, it's a way of describing how much energy your body could get from eating or drinking it.
    • Anita B
      Anita B on 08 Feb 12
       
      We eat many calories on a daily basis, but sometimes we truly don't know what calories are. But these calories can be both good and bad. For example, people who try loosing weight cut down on the amount of calories they consume. 
  • Some people mistakenly believe they have to burn off all the calories they eat or they will gain weight. This isn't true. Your body needs some calories just to operate — to keep your heart beating and your lungs breathing.
