Tips for a beginner runner?

Ok when I went into 7th grade I was out of shape but I wanted to do cross country. In this sport u run 1.89 miles straight. They had us run the course and told us if u have to stop and walk then do it but try not to. So I did it. Let me tell u it was hard. But I learned that if u stop to walk then run again it is harder to run. So maybe Try to run a mile and stop whenever needed. After a while all we did for the sport was stretch, run for 30 min straight then play tag for the rest of practice. It was so fun. If u cant run a mile and u are in pain then run for 5 min walk for 3. Do that for 30 min every day until u can run for 10 and walk for 2 hen get to where u never walk. Always stretch tho before and after. Drink lots of water. Eat carbs like pasta. Good luck sry this is long I'm tying to give u a variety of ways lol.

Does anyone know where the old EDS employee golf course was in the Dallas area?

There used to be a 9 hole golf course in the greater Dallas area that was for EDS (Electronic Data Systems) employees only. I cannot remember where (what city or even cross streets) it was located in the area. I'm nearly positive it's closed and/or been built over now, but it was still in use in the mid-90s.

Sports I can try at a later age?

If your a girl then I guess you should learn tennis and yoga. A boy should do martial arts and tennis. But archery seems so dangerous…

When should I see results?

I am 5'3 and 104 pounds I am a 21 year old female and have had one child who is now two. I have a goal to become toned by September first, so about 3 months. I am not worried about losing weight really but shrinking my stomach and toning my butt and thighs. My belly sticks out and looks distended. I hate how it makes me look 4/5 months pregnant. My doctor said nothing is wrong and told me to add probiotics to my diet. I do 30 minutes of pilates a day, 20 minutes of speed walking, 30 minutes on the stair stepper, and 5 repetitions of one minute stomach vaccums. I eat less than 1200 calories a day, maybe less than 1000. I eat fruits, veggies, nuts, eggs, low fat yogurts, cheese, and milk, whole wheat breads, hummus, nothing unhealthy (although sometimes i treat myself). I want 4 inches off of my tummy and 3 off my hips. At the rate I am going (i have been going on three weeks now) when should i see results?? I sont really see any improvements and I am getting very discouraged. Any tips, ideas, input? Thank you!

Can I use a yoga mat for pilates?

I recently started doing pilates in my finished basement (meaning carpeted floors) and I found that my hands and feet were slipping on the carpet. I have a yoga mat...could I use that just to make the carpet less slippery? The carpet is very rough as well (it had to be durable because my mom uses the basement for her daycare) so having my bare hands/elbows/knees on straight carpet isn't very comfortable.

How do I get girls to like me better?

Okay. You are not a lost cause. You seem like a nice guy so here is my advice. Don't change the personality. Shave the facial hair, get contacts or more stylish glasses, and become a buff sexy gardener. I am afraid you will get with the first girl you meet and she will mistreat you. Don't let that happen. You are worth more than that.

FOOD-overeating ot not eating enough?

Here's what I ate today so far. Breakfast-4 pancakes about 4 inches in diameter w/ butterlight syrup Lunch-homemade shrimp fried rice w/o shrimp Snack-peanut butter sandwhich Dinner-I plan on having lean pork and steamed veggies. And ill prolly have another snack later Does this sound like I'm overeating, or not eating enough? This is just an example of what I had today but I usually follow that same pattern, 3 small meals w/ snaks in between. I usually eat more veggies/fruit like celery, carrots,lettuce & spinich salads,peaches,bananas, strawberries, and watermelon for snacks. I am a SUCKER for sweets like cookies and ice cream though. I encourage my mom not to buy them, and when she does I get mad, but know I will eat them till I'm full at some point...I mostly drink water or milk. About a gal of water a day or a little less. I get about 30-60 mins of extra exercise a day (other than walking/household chores) that consists of mostly dancing around or pilates and maybe some running if I feel up to it. I am a 15 year old girl, about 5'4 and weigh 135-136 pounds, and look a lil bit chubby. I'm trying to reach at the most 129 before summer ends.

Is it okay to do cardio and strength training on the same day?

I'm trying to get my body lookin' good in a short amount of time. So, I'm eating healthy, cutting calories, and exercising more. When I do cardio I typically run for about 20-30 mins then fast walk for 20 mins. I also like to do pilates for about 30-40 mins to target my butt, abs, obliques, and legs. I've done them both on the same day and I feel good afterwards, just exhausted. I'm trying to do at least the cardio everyday and pilates every other day. Is it okay to do both on the same day? Or should I alternate cardio one day, pilates the next...

Is it even possible for america to be considered a "christian" nation?

No, thankfully. It's indicative of our mindset that it's the MONEY which we choose to have stamped with "in god we trust." Too bad money is also an awful god...maybe if we stole Google's motto and printed that on our money, instead?

Is this a good setup for a pc? Am i missing anything?

depending on what you're doing, it's awesome. I would caution against any "green" hard drive - green usually means slow. Hard drives have almost always been the bottleneck of any system, right next to inadequate ram.

Will pilates help me lose weight?

So I'm 17 and a little chubby, I'm not fat or anything, I have a little flab on my stomach and bigger thighs but I'm not really fat or anything. I heard pilots really helps flatten your stomach is it true? Because I've tried it and really felt the burn but I'm worried it will only build the muscle and not burn the fat, which would basically do no good. Suggestions?

What kind of 'self' workouts are there?

I know about pilates, yoga, dancing, tae bo, karate..... But there must be some other types of exercise forms that you use just your body. No supplementary equipment. But I want a list like how I put mine. Not stuff like push-ups, running, crunches or whatever. I'm trying to figure out what works for me with different techniques of using just my own body to workout.
