Your Questions About Exercise Clothing

Steven asks…

Staying fit during the winter without much money?

During the summer I walk 4 miles a day on weekdays and 8 miles a day on weekend. It’s getting to be about -20 and we’ve been having snowstorms. I don’t really have much money but I want to stay healthy. I don’t have exercise clothes either (I don’t own pants or flat shoes). I’m 5’6 135 lbs and have 18% body fat.

Yoga Wear Guru answers:

Get an exercise video from the library and do what you can on the worst days.

If you need good, warm clothes try going to your local Salvation Army or Thrift store.

Sandy asks…

how long will it take for someone to go down a clothes size if you exercise everyday and change your diet?

Yoga Wear Guru answers:

Took me 3 weeks but i’m not a teenager with a good metabolism.

Yoga Wear Guru answers:

You dont need any fancy clothes that “enhance your abilities” just wear basic warm clothes, if its TOO cold, try running in place in your house for however long you wouldve walked before. Rememeber, good diet for staying fit to, good luck

Ruth asks…

what clothes do you usually exercise in?

i dont know why, but i always just wear underwear, a tank top, and am barefoot. OH, and im talking when you are exercising at home…

Yoga Wear Guru answers:

Um… Clothes? I just wear jeans and a t shirt. Haha normal clothes.

Mark asks…

Do you think that a mother should do daily exercise?

i am the mother of a 6 month baby. i do all the work of my home daily means cooking, cleaning & dusting, washing clothes and looking after of my baby.
if your answer is YES then please forward me links to help which type of exercises should i do.

Yoga Wear Guru answers:

It sounds like you’re pretty busy! I would say that everyone could always use more exercise (I wish I would listen to my own advice!), but honestly, it’s not always possible when you have so many things to do everyday. Between keeping up with your baby and doing all sorts of house chores and errands and such, you probably get a decent amount of exercise. The real question is do you think you need to exercise? If your answer is yes, then maybe you could join a gym (like Gold’s Gym). I know they have a daycare area and you can drop your baby off (I’m pretty sure it’s free/included in your membership dues) while you work out for say, 45 minutes or an hour each day. They usually have all kinds of machines and classes you can take and sometimes they’ll have a pool. Swimming is one of the best ways to exercise. You could swim a few laps everyday and maybe use some machines at the gym as well. (The people who work there will explain how to use all of the machines if you ask.)
If you don’t want to join a gym, you could walk/run up and down the stairs several times, do crunches on the floor, “lift weights” by using a gallon of milk or laundry detergent (just make sure the cap is on tight), work your lower abs by doing leg lifts, work your thighs and bottom by doing squats, etc.
Just a few ideas. Hope they help some! :)

    Your Questions About Workout Clothes

    Richard asks…

    How long can I expect to workout before seeing results?

    It feels like it’s taking forever-I’ve heard six weeks is generally a good rule to stick to as long as you are eating healthy and etc…

    It’s discouraging to work out for a month and not see results. I feel the results, but have yet to see a change in my figure or the way my clothes fit.

    I go the gym for one hour M-F and do 40 min cardio and 20 min weight lifting, I’ll focus on legs one day, arms, another, back, then do a day where I cover them all. I’m trying to lose as much weight as I can by Christmas. I weight 160 lbs and am female and listed how active I am.

    1) How long can I expect to workout before seeing results?
    2) How much do you think I can shed on this plan by Christmas?
    3) If you have any tips that can help me in this goal I would appreciate them GREATLY!

    -I have an old friend who is going to be around for the holidays and want to wow him lol :) Thank you again!
    I’ve been working out on and off for about two months-nothing strict though…but just recently really became dedicated and picked up my routine in only the 14 days. : / If that helps answer the question a little better.

    Yoga Wear Guru answers:

    2 weeks or less oh that kinda result. 2 months

    Mandy asks…

    How long do the fat-burning effects of a workout last?

    I’ve been overweight all my life, and over the past several years have changed my diet and I work out three times a week or more, sometimes four or five days a week. I notice a visible difference in my clothes (they fit better) after I work out.

    But how long does the fat-burn last? Is it optimal to do a one hour workout once a day? Or could I do two workouts 12 hours apart within 12 hours? I want to maximize the fat-burn without putting undue stress on my muscles. Any and all answers are appreciated. Thanks!

    Yoga Wear Guru answers:

    EPOC (elevated post-exercise oxygen consumption) can last the entire day – one study even found that metabolism was elevated for 39 hours after exercise. However, you have to make sure that this workout is really working you hard. You should be at 75% (at the very least) of your maximum heart rate (220 minus your age) for the vast majority of the time.

    Linda asks…

    My Daughter and I have a problem?

    ok my daughter wants to hear thong underwear short shorts (booty shorts) and workout clothing like sweats that compleatly hug her body and i dont like this. she tells me its because there conftable but i dont know how much i would like seeing her like that. so tell me from a adualt point of view and a teen girls point am i wrong?

    Yoga Wear Guru answers:

    Why is this even an issue? YOU are the parent. You don’t debate, you tell her what she can and can not wear.

    Mark asks…

    Holiday in 2 months, need help with a workout?

    Okay my weight has made me really self conscious about myself like when i’m outside i’m wearing baggy clothes to hide my figure i’m 17 my height is 5’6 and i weigh 11 stone and 3 pounds

    And my mum has booked a holiday for us and it’s already paid for it’s in june and i’m not looking forward to it i seen this bikini and i loved it but when i tried it on and saw myself in it i felt disgusting, it’s a size 10 it fits me but i have belly fat, love handles and i’ve started going to the gym
    i put on a little bit of weight without noticing and now i’m regretting it.

    i just need a workout, diet to get my flat stomach back, lose my love handles within 2 months i know it seems unrealistic but i’m putting 110% in this and determined to get my old figure back

    Yoga Wear Guru answers:

    Runnning, push ups or anything like that will not help you lose belly fat. You should do excercises focusing on the stomach area like sit ups. For the diet you should go to ehow.com. Hope this helps!!!

    Sandra asks…

    Organizing vs collectable personality?

    I am trying to organize the apartment I’m occupying while my house is built. It’s too small! I am looking for any advise on how to organize a huge volume of things (books, clothes, shoes, luggage, mineral collections, fossil collections, scrapbooks, bedding, swimsuits, workout eqpt). I’ve invested in hundreds and hundreds of tubs, and a labelmaker, which I love, but how can I get through the next 6 mos?!? Is there anything I can store in the refrigerator? That’s the only place where I still have room!! Help? All advise on anything (especially, how you organize those annoying computer CDs ) is appreciated.

    Yoga Wear Guru answers:

    I too am crammed in an apartment with my large family. First get your stuff in front of you, Put three piles together. Remeber first, it’s just stuff and if you don’t use it, you should lose it. Clutter doesn’t help anyone.

    1-Keep and Organize
    2-Trash it
    3-Donate it or Ebay it

    Once you do this, you will be so surprised how much different it looks. Use the tubs you already to put your good keepers in a rental storage space until you settle in the new place. You can then donate or ebay for extra cash or yard sale that pile. And trash is trash. Try this, it works.

      HELP

      Yoga Wear Guru answers:

      Sit her down and tell her “mom, girls started wearing bras years ago and I can NOT wait until I’m 16″. You may have to go into detail (…showing through shirt) and you don’t want people to stare at you oddly. Hopefully after you’re totally honest she will understand, if not then ask her why you can’t wear one and what this rule is all about. Good luck!

      Laura asks…

      Don’t you thing that old guys that still try to play sports are sad and pathetic?

      I have a uncle who back in his day use to play sports back when he was in high school. He still wears his high school Letterman Jacket which is way to small for him, and he makes fun of my cousin , his son, who doesn’t like sports. The other weekend he played some football with old friends of his and got into a fight over the game. I thought how sad must his life be that he is hanging on to those days as if it were yesterday. I mean I feel sorry for my cousin for having a dad like that. Am I wrong for thinking this?

      Yoga Wear Guru answers:

      Hey now don’t make fun of Brett Farve he is only 41!!!!!

      Helen asks…

      How to make your breasts look smaller?

      I have a 34/36 b boob size which isn’t that big but I have a really skinny waist which makes them look bigger and I’m a skinny petite person- Anyway my fav shirt is a half shirt and it’s white (which makes things look bigger) and I wear a tank under it so my stomach doesn’t show and that makes for more material inbetween my boobs and my shirt which also makes them look bigger- I usually wear a jacket over it which helps make them look smaller but it’s summer and especially in s.fl it’s way to hot to wear a jacket –
      Any suggestions would help (no rude comments please)
      Would maybe a sports bra help or something? I’ve completely run out of ideas
      A problem that I have w/ sports bras is that when I wear then I apparently can’t find any good ones and they just smash my boobs in which makes it look like I’m wearing a shirt that’s too small

      Yoga Wear Guru answers:

      So what you do is wrap around yur breasts this kinda roll yhu wrap around wen yhu have an injury [dont know the name ] then close it with 2 strong clips like this

      Sandra asks…

      How can I keep my skin healthy if I’m in the sun for 6 hours a day?

      I’m a camp counselor and I spend 6 hours every day in the sun with the kids playing sports, watching them on the playground, drawing with chalk with them, doing arts and crafts, having a “dance party,” and basically doing all kinds of activities with them. I’ve gotten really tan and I’m afraid of getting skin cancer. It’s really hot everyday so I don’t really want to put on a jacket to shield the sun from me, or wear jeans or pants because it would be way too hot. Any suggestions?

      Yoga Wear Guru answers:

      Sunscreen sunscreen sunscreen. It really is impractical to wear long-sleeved shirts and pants in an active summer job. And the truth is that most cotton t-shirts only have an SPF of about 8 at best. Look for clothes that have a UPF, usually available at outdoor sport stores. They can get a little pricey, but it’s a good investment. If you can afford only one UPF item, make it a wide-brimmed hat. It’s very easy to miss spots around your head when you’re applying sunscreen. Apply your sunscreen 30 minutes before going out and reapply it every couple hours. One ounce should cover your body, which means that you should go through 3 ounces a day, 15 ounces a week (assuming you work M-F).That’s a lot of sunscreen, so feel free to opt for the store brands. No-Ad is also really good, really cheap, and comes in big bottles.

        Your Questions About Exercise Clothing Men

        Donna asks…

        Does my boyfriend want a mother or a girlfriend or…what?

        My boyfriend’s mother died when he was 10 years old. He never expresses grief about it, and seems to either bottle it up or doesn’t seem to worry about it much since he hardly knew his mother.

        He expects certain things of me: cleaning the house, and cleaning up his mess, cooking him 3 meals a day, and giving him space until he wants to spend time with me, which is not often at all only when he wants me to give him a bj or have sex with him..that’s about all the time we spend together doing or we do something that turns into something sexual.

        He has me exercising everyday to lose weight for him. He keeps telling me to put a weave in or long braids in because he doesn’t like my natural hair. I’m kind of disappointed because I would of liked it it if he embraced my style. I wear make up, short skirts, or sexy outfits everyday..not by demand but because I know he prefers it better. I’m used to wearing comfortable clothing and not caring much of how I look like.

        No matter how much effort I make to make him happy, when I have just one bad mood or slip up where I forget to make breakfast or wash his clothes, he calls me lazy and selfish. Maybe he says it out of anger and doesn’t mean it, but I feel like he doesn’t appreciate what I do for him and takes it for granted.

        Does he really want a girlfriend to be there and love him or does he want to fulfill a mother figure? Is it something else? Please don’t ask me to leave this man. I simply cannot. :( I love him, but unsure if he loves me, and really don’t want to find out if he doesn’t. Believe it or not, but he’s the best boyfriend I ever had…or I should say the LEAST worst boyfriend I ever had.

        Yoga Wear Guru answers:

        I think he is a womanizer. He knows that u love him and will do anything for him that is why he is making u cater to him and conform to what he wants u to be. How disrespectful.. He does not like ur natural hair.. But he likes f^cking u, doesnt he? If u were his mom i dont think he would be telling her to get a weave in or some long braids. He knows u wont leave him that is why he is treating u like this. Remember one thing. People only treat u the way u allow them to.. Just bc his mother passed does not mean he views u as a mother.. Lets b serious.. He has sex with u. That is not something he would b doing with his mother. U are his gf, the one who is supposed to care for him and b there for him in ways that a mother cant be.
        Since u dont want to leave him i suggest u talk to him and let him know how u feel.
        And take this thought with u- a person who does not respect u or like u for who u are is not worth ur time.. There are others out there who will appreciate and cherish every little thing about u.. Including ur natural self. Remember that.

        what should I do ?

        Tough luck mate, just write it off and use bidpay in future. Completing the steps as we ask, will just be a fruitless and futile exercise.

        But Im a frial old man with 3 months to live, I just want the money to leave to my little grandson.

        Tell him to get down that local labour exchange and get a job humping bricks all day, if he needs money.

        I need the money to feed and clothe my little 6 year old daugher

        Pimp her out for $20 a go, to the first guy in an old anorak coming out the bookies, with an old dog end in his mouth and his winnings, especially if he comes up and offers her sweets or says ” ere darlin haw abaut it then” Then tell her shes got money and to go and buy her own bloody food and clothes.

        You claim to be the worlds online leader in online payment processing, yet all this ?????

        Hitler was the leader of Germany and the Nazi Party, Saddam Hussein was leader of Iraq and its people, by the same token, were leader of online payments. That doesnt mean in any way that this will work to your benefit, it only means we have the power and inclination to use it to rip you off.

        What about us users who only buy and are not merchants?

        No problem my friend sign up we wont freeze your account, youre the people we respect and want as account holders. But dont expect the same good treatment if you start collecting money, thats for us to take from you.

        Bear in mind also, that very often, if we reverse your payment to a seller, he or she will do the decent thing and refund it, offering you another way to pay if you still want the merchandise. It is standard practice for us to reverse the transaction intended back to you also so the seller loses the money and doesnt get a chance at getting payment from you another way, as a result you dont get your money back either (we get it) and the seller cant send you the goods cos he hasnt been paid. Stalemate for both parties. So all in all, its better to use bidpay or some other payment method.

        What can we the public do about this terrible state of affairs ?

        Its all down to strenth in union to defeat us. Given the answer to the above question regarding “Buyers” only which you may or may not have been aware of, all of you in the world, spread the word, tell all your friends, family, etc

        OPEN OTHER EMAIL ACCOUNTS WITH YAHOO AND COPY AND PASTE THIS MESSAGE ON YAHOO ANSWERS AS MANY TIMES AS YOU WANT, THE MORE THE MERRIER AND THE QUICKER THE WORD GETS OUT

        Then all unite together by all agreeing to boycott Paypal and close your accounts and move to bidpay or other payment service. This service is now permissable on Ebay and if you all do this, Bidpay will become the worlds top payment processor and we´ll end up going bankrupt. Which would be a victory for the good, ordinary, honest everday hardworking, decent people of this planet.

        I honestly don’t know what the point of your question was? Did paypal seriously freeze your account? Why would you keep that much money with an online account.
        Don’t get me wrong, i have been using paypal for 8 or more years. I have had over 7000 transactions. I love paypal…they are a great on line service and i use the debit as a credit card and then i never get a credit card bill. When i have money in there. Its like free money to spend.?

        I also have used bid pay for several years. ,and they send in form of a check to me.
        Paypal is REALLY the best on line service. It covers the buyers who don’t get their merchandise & it covers the seller when they have proof of sending to confirmed addy.

        So what is the point of opening up another email accounts, which you can and should have a few anyways…??

          REAL ANSWERS PLEASE.

          Yoga Wear Guru answers:

          How tall are you?
          You should probably just go down to 170 so lose about 20 pounds. I weight the same as you and im 15 and im trying to lose 20 pounds as well and its working :)
          this is what i do:
          i eat every 2-3 hours and i stop eating after 5:30 pm
          im drinking water all day it really helps your mmetabolism
          try to eat good carbs like oatmeal in the morning, have a salad at lunch, and protein at dinner.
          Eat 1200-1500 calories every day.

          For exercise:
          i walk/bike 5X a week for 30 minutes.
          And i go to the gym and use the elliptical for an hour
          im gonna start going to the gym everyday for an hour. 30 minutes cardio and 30 minutes weight lifting.

          Thats pretty much how im going to be doing things. Try it:)
          if you have questions, email me at jazziheartsyou@gmail.com
          good luck <3

          Betty asks…

          Am I doing it right? [workout routine to lose weight]?

          For starters, I am 17, and roughly 155 (last time I checked, anyway). About a month ago, I started doing a routine by doing a 40 min workout – first week was walking about a mile or two. Second week, added in some jogging. Third week, added a mile to jogging. Fourth week, jogging about three miles every day except weekends.
          I don’t have a scale on me, so I can’t say how much I’ve lost (if any), unfortunately. Clothes don’t feel any different on me but I can say my legs look a little more toned before setting up a jogging routine.

          My goal is to go down 2 – 3 sizes by September.
          Any tips? I’m looking at mostly exercising tips since my fam. cooks a lot fatty ethnic food.

Running is one of the best exercises you can do because not only will you burn fat/calories, but it’s a great way to develop a nice lean body and really nice legs. It is possible that your weight might have actually increased because of the muscle you have gained from running. Don’t stress about the scale though, instead focus on how you feel and how your clothes are fitting. Continue to do what you are doing but also try to build your endurance by increasing your running speed gradually each week. This will take time so take it slow to avoid injuries.

          One other tip that I think will help you reach your goal is to try adding some resistance training to your workout. A lot of people only do cardio to lose weight, unaware that lifting weights builds muscle that will actually burn more fat/calories faster than those who don’t have muscle . Now I am not saying you should try building huge muscles by lifting heavy weights, but instead lift light weights that will tone your body and burn fat.

          Your goal is very achievable, all you have to do is continue to do what your doing. There really is no secret to losing weight, it’s just a matter of putting the work in and not giving up. For instance, One can’t master the guitar in one day, it takes practice and dedication. Same thing applies to getting in shape.

          Donald asks…

          Can anyone recommend a great workout for toning and slimming the whole body fast?

          I lost weight to become a size 10 but wanted to slim down to a size 8 and tone my body. I started doing the Tracy Anderson method in march as I thought this would work but instead it has bulked me up to a a size 12-14 again and I can no longer fit into my clothes. I am going to Italy at the end of August and wanted to get into great shape before then? Can anyone recommend a great workout that doesn’t put too much strain on my body and works fast for slimming and toning? I am 5ft 2 inch and also don’t have a lot of space in my house.

          Yoga Wear Guru answers:

          I like wearing a loose t-shirt, and a more fitted yoga pants. I still have my stomach to lose so I’m not comfortable showing that to everyone. Plus I find its easier to move.

            Mandy asks…

            Pea coat / scarf / hood?

            I own a pea coat I’m prone to wearing over hoodies in the winter. I always pull the sweater’s hood over the collar of the coat so I don’t look like a hunchback, but I find it hard to wear scarves with this. How would I wear the scarf so it doesn’t look hella awkward when the hood is down? Thanks!

            Yoga Wear Guru answers:

            Pray to Allah to make you strong. When i started wearing the hijab in grade seven i was so scared, what would my freinds think i thought. But 3 years later i am still wearing it i love it and it is a part of who i am. The only way you will become attached to it is by learning more about it. Go to youtube find out the benifits of the scarf see all the convert videos. Check out all the different styles of hijab. All i can tell you is that Allah is guiding you to beome a better muslim, grab this special opportunity and dont let go of this. The scarf will change your life for the better. If you can beleive it, it willl make you more confident. I am now in highschool and unfortuanetly many of my freinds have now been raped many times and lost their confidence, many have boyfreind who are abusing and threatning them and i am safe from all of this allhumdulilah. So good luck even if you are nervous just wear it and see how it goes test try it when you go shoppiong or something to prepare yourself for it. The most imporatnt thing you can do is pray to God and remeber that the creater of this world, the most compassionat and most merciful is always watching you and knows your thoughts. So take this big step to becoming a better muslim and inshallah you will be happy with this wonderful decision may Allah guide you and reward you for this wonderdul decision.
            To get you started here are some great inspiring videos you can watch to make this step easy for you .

            Yoga Wear Guru answers:

            Head(either a sqaureish one folded like a bandana into a sweat band type shape? Or in like a triangle and tied at the nape of your neck), neck(long ones can be worn practically any way, be creative. And sqaure one almost cowboy looking? Aha if that makes sense), wrist(if its small), and waist(like, tied throught belt loops and such) is all ive really seen.

              Nancy asks…

              Is this sports coat too big?

              A christmas ball is coming up and I am wearing a suit coat. I have outgrown my suit coats, and I have two choices. I have black pants. One is black and the other is dark blue (with lines consisting of different shades of blue and sort of checkers), so I’m probably gonna wear the black. However, the black I think is too big – when standing straight up with my arms to my side, the sleeves almost reach my knuckles (about a cm from) and the back is about an inch below the bottom of my butt. So I was wondering if this is too big? <– MAIN QUESTION The other one is slightly smaller but it won't match my pants. Thanks!

              Yoga Wear Guru answers:

              Sounds like it’s the right length but the wrong sleeve length…maybe it’s a long size. I have very long arms, so I have to buy long sizes or the coat only reaches to the top of my wrists.

              A good rule of thumb (no pun intended) for coat length is that it should reach to the bottom of your thumb when your arms are hanging down.

              If you don’t have anyone to hem the coat, take it either to a high-end department store (Macy’s, Lord & Taylor’s) or to a dry cleaners….most of them will alter your coat for you.
