Can anyone recommend a 3 day ab workout strictly done with machines?

Question by hfacto: Can anyone recommend a 3 day ab workout strictly done with machines?
My gym doesn’t have a place to do tradional ab work but does have numerous ab and back machines. Looking for a 2-3 day a week routine to go along with my Cardio and Weight training.

Thanks.

Answer by rhmcc101
Nautilus has a great machine, in fact they have two, that work the abs very well. There are other machine manufacturers that make great ab workout stations, but I do not know where you work out at. y

You could try lying on an incline and doing sit-ups and then adding dumb-bells for extra weight on your chest or behind your head.

Good Luck.

Q&A: Is my brother gay??? (his only 11)?

Question by ||☆||K E L $ E Y||☆||™: Is my brother gay??? (his only 11)?
My brother is 11 and we are starting to think his gay, here are some examples why:

- My dad took my brother to work and my dad said “oh his going to love Nikki (some girl he works with, apparently she’s very good looking with tanned skin, tall, blonde hair and big b**bs) and my dad was shocked because my brother didn’t look at her twice yet he came home and said to me “OMG have you seen dads friend Chris (his name) his sooooooooooo hot and muscly!” then he rang my dad asking for his number..

- One time me, my sister, mom and brother went out shopping and two guys were checking out me and my sister, and my brother was like “look them boys are checking me out!!!”

- One time we were watching a film and my brother was like “oh they are sooo hot, wow look at them boys, wow they’re so sexy!” and my mom hit him cause she’s embarrassed and his losing all his friends, we live in a place with no gays!

- One time we were watching girls of the playboy mansion the one where they go to las vages and there sooooooo many hot girls and my brother didn’t say once they were hot he was actually just cussing them and then ONE ugly guy (the lawnmower) came on TV and my brother was like “oooh his hot ;) bet all the girls love him” (EW he was ugly!)

- The other day I said “I don’t care if your gay, It’s OK” just to cheer him up cause my mom and sister were hating gays and I felt bad cause he looked a little upset and then he was like “Oh well I am gay =D=D=D” (don’t forget his 10!)

- My cousin was showing my brother a calander of hot beach girls and my brother thought that 90% of the girls were ugly and when he thought 1 or 2 were hot he was saying “oh it looks like she has a penis anyway”.

- My sister was showing him pictures of girls on her laptop just to see what he thought, she showed Jessica Alba, Kim Kardashian, Megan Fox, Beyonce, Adriana Lima, Angelina Jolie, Selena Spice and my brother didn’t think they were hot, he maybe called one pretty but that’s it, and then to test him she showed ugly guys who nobody thought was hot and he was like “hottt ;) bet girls love him ahaha”

- When he watches wrestling he watches the guys and then when the divas come on he turns them straight over… he always calls ugly wrestlers hot

- He always talks about abusing women saying it’s cool cause the man is so strong compared to her, He HATES girls

- Whenever a man or woman kisses on TV he FREAKKSS OUT and tells us to turn over.

- he hates Big B**bs.. Loves 6 pak abs.

- When commercials are on for Workout machines his alwayss saying “damn look at that guys body” and just ignores the girls body!

- Whenever a girl is lesbian hes like “EWWWW” when a guy is gay his OK with it.

- He had two gay dreams and told me about them (WTF)

there are a few more reasons why but i can’t think at the moment.

Overall he seems a little boy-obsessed!

Is he gay? At only age 11? (he started getting like this at early age 10 or even 9) How old were you when you knew..?

has anyone gotten a 6-pack with one of those machines like ab lounger, ab doer, or others advertised on tv?

Question by JustWondering: has anyone gotten a 6-pack with one of those machines like ab lounger, ab doer, or others advertised on tv?
I’m trying to find out if it would be worth it to invest in one of those and stick to them religiously to help mark my abdominal area. I think proportionately, I’m okay, but I just need to tone my abs, b/c I can tell they’re there but they need to get marked. In other words, I want to know if one of those machines will help me with that. Please tell me your experience with those machines. I am also exercising and eating 5-6 small meals a day including snacks. And drinking lots of water. So please, I just want to hear your story with one of those ab machines. The machine names and prices also.

Answer by Cate
the ab lounger is about 90$ . It really does work your abs and it’s really not as hard on your back, tailbone, and neck as crunches and sit-ups are.

For Example

If Your Father Calls And Tells You That A Pipe Is Leaking And He Would Like You To Come Over And Fix It.

10:30am

As For My Response I Said I Was Heading There Today, And Yes I Would Like To Help But I Don’t Really Know How To Do It But I know Some What How To Fix It. As A Second Response I Told Him To Call His Son-In-Law To Aid In Endevor As I’ve Seen Him Do This And He Did A Good Job. Plus He Has The Tools To Do This.

My Father Said Yeah I’ll Call Him And See If He Can Help. A Minute Later I Recieve A Phone Call From My Brother-In-Law. As I Talk To Him He States That He’s Showed Me How To Do This And I Can Go There And Pickup The Tools To Do It. As I responded That He Knew What He Was Doing And I Didn’t. He Then Said You Just Don’t Want To Go Up There Do You? I Responded I Was Already Going To Go Up There And Help With The Boats Which I know How To Fix. Then He Said Well What The Hell If You Going Up Just Pickup The Stuff And Fix It. I Said Ok “Whatever” {Rumbled Through My Head}.

So I Called My Dad Back And Said It Will Just Be Me. “Dad” So What Hes Not Coming. Nope I Said, I’ll See You In An Hour Bye.

Are vibrating stomach belts dangerous?

Question by : Are vibrating stomach belts dangerous?
I’m sure everyone remembers those old fashioned machines where belts shook the fat right off of you. Never figured out if those worked or not but I did hear that they caused stomach problems and such. I’ve also seen those newer versions on tv where they shock your abs into shape. Well recently I cam upon an Asian model called Slim Shape. It vibrates violently! I couldn’t help but buy it, mainly because it felt fantastic on my back! But I was curious to know:
1. Could it actually work for toning stomach muscles?
And
2. Could it cause some sort of internal damage?
There are lower setting on it so I’m sure that a lower setting couldn’t hurt too much, could it?

Best answer:

Answer by trigger
They’re not dangerous but they don’t work. At all.

Does anyone know about the ViewSonic N3250w?

Question by shadow_nochbvolk: Does anyone know about the ViewSonic N3250w?
So I recently stumbled upon a mostly working TV. as you guessed the one above. After some research I found out that back in the day it was worth some decent money and I decided to repair it/keep it. Long story short. Power stays on fine, screen is pitch black (not even blank black of no signal) I have it dismantled and I think I’ve narrowed it down to the Inverter supply or the CC-FL backlight. Both of which look intact and are hundreds of dollars to replace. Does anyone know what I should look for to figure out which is broken?
I am an EE so i have the needed equipment, but I just don’t feel like breaking it and I have little reference to what voltages and signals I should be seeing compared to what I am seeing.
Thanks.

Answer by jerrymeetsworld
Would you be able to take an industrial grade multimeter to the power inverter and see if it outputs a proper signal? That’d probably be my first course of action. Good luck.

My friend doesn’t think her child is spoiled what do you think?

Question by : My friend doesn’t think her child is spoiled what do you think?
My good friend’s oldest daughter is nearly 3 years old (with her height and intelligence you would think she is much older). This child is not only spoiled attention-wise and is the center of attention wherever she goes and by everyone that is around her (especially her parents). WHATEVER she says goes, she is the boss of the house!!! She has a humungous room with her own bathroom and walk-in closet with more clothing, shoes and handbags than I’ve had in my whole life. More toys than toys r us and gets EVERYTHING she wants and more. Her father recently bought her a playhouse that costs something in the vicinity of 35,000 (not kidding). Also recently my friend gave the child’s room a makeover, she took all the old stuff out and re-did the room completely. The bed alone costs 46,000 (still not kidding), a desk that costed a few thousands with her own IMAC computer (she is so brilliant that she can use it her self – including the typing because she can read and spell). A tv cabinet with her own 50″ flat screen TV and DVD player (yeah she uses that by herself too). And even MORE toys. She has three ride-one cars (why she needs 3 I don’t know). They have a room in the house made into a mini-kitchen with actual working equipment (don’t worry she has supervision) She goes for kiddie spray tans, salons (she’s been to the hair dresser more than I have, spas, manicures + pedicures, facials very often as she takes part in beauty pageants (which i also don’t approve of). Her child get way too much and on a daily basis, I tell her this not out of jealousy but out of concern, because even though Quinn is a lovely child and the most beautiful little girl I’ve ever seen, way too intelligent for her age, she is unfortunately like most rich children and knows/thinks that she is “better” than others. I also have problems everytime my 3 year old and 4 year old daughters go over, they get upset with me that I don’t give them what Quinn has. What is your opinion?? Her parents don’t think she is spoiled what do you think??

Best answer:

Answer by ms holli
she certainly has way more then she needs, but I have been guilty of trying to give my kids whatever they want, due to my lack of money sometimes, we have to say no, but coming from a poor family I fid myself getting joy when my kids get things I wish I had gotten as a child, I do think it’s good to say no sometimes and have them deal with the fact we dont always get what we want, as for your kids, my daughter has felt the same, we live in a 2 bedroom apartment, and my mother in law who has a daughter the same age got into low income housing and has a 4 bedroom town home, I explain we work hard, we are thankful we have anything and there are kids who have way less so dont pout and that’s the end of the discussion

Her mother will then say that she gives her everything because she grew up without. I would also like to add that she has identical triplet girls that are nearly 9 months old now and they are just as spoiled as their sister. And even though you might not believe this, she is 6 months pregnant again now with twin boys……. and if i also may add, she had quinn when she was 14!!! the triplets exactly 2 years later at 16 and she’s now 17…… I love her but i really think it’s wrong

Best answer:

Answer by Ashley
Is this a serious question? She had the first at 14 and is now 17? If this is serious, then yes, these children are spoiled beyond reason, and there mother is only a child herself.
