Q. If i just do 1 hour cardio will i loose weight? or should i do some weights too?
Asked by Malcolm M - Wed Mar 5 09:10:43 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Cardio is what you want to do for the majority of weight loss, and weight training is more for toning muscles and building muscles, both of which you won't really notice until you lose the weight covering the muscles. So keep going with the cardio, and do remember to keep yourself challenged so that you can keep pushing yourself slightly further than the last time, that way your body won't get used to the same stagnant routine.

What is the training that a professional hockey player goes through?
Q. I'm doing a school project on hockey players and I tried looking everywhere on their training methods. Try to answers these two questions: 1-What are the number of hours dedicated to off-season training, in season training and pre and post season training? 2-What is the proper weight training, nutrition, stretching agility training, cardio training and rest periods of a profession hockey player? Thanks so much.

A. Here is what I think. Contact a local high school or youth league coach or trainer. If there aren't any near you, e-mail the trainer for your favorite team. I have gotten several letters over the years from the Red Wings trainer(s) when I had questions. Also, ask any players you know. Off season training is more up to the individual I think. Some work harder than others. It's all about conditioning so I imagine most players try to stay in shape somehow.

What training is needed to become a bounty hunter?
Q. I was wondering what training is needed to become a bounty hunter? Do you need training in a law academy or is there any schooling/ training required?

A. I don't believe there is any required training...however, if you're planning to go into the field, you're definitely going to want some different things. First, you'll need to be in pretty good shape. You have to remember, that many of these people are going to fight you, you need to be ready for that...which leads into #2...you'll definitely benefit from self-defense, martial arts training. Bounty hunters that carry guns, invite a whole extra can of trouble on themselves. Many people feel more powerful/more invincible with that gun. There's a reason many bounty hunters DON'T use guns. Take Dog Chapman...he and his crew use pepper/mace foam...as do many bounty hunters I know (though I don't know any of them all that well). Most… [cont.]

A. Matters what country you are in. Each country has different laws and rules. In North America you have to go to the local Fish & Game Department pass the regulations (have a clean record), find a falconer that's a General or Master to Sponsor you for the first two years of your falconry career, take a test and pass it, and get all utensils (such as a Mews, jesses, and a perch for the bird) and make sure they get inspected by the DNR (Department of Natural Resources). After you get all of that stuff and pass you'll have a falconry license as a apprentice falconer. When you become a apprentice falconer you only have the option of catching a Red-tailed Hawk or American Kestrel (you are allowed to trap a Red-shouldered Hawk if you live in… [cont.]

When do you start training when a new puppy comes into your home?
Q. There's lots of training questions on here, so I wonder when most people begin training a new puppy. I'm talking about more than house training her too. Does it start the day the puppy comes home? Do you wait a couple weeks, let things slide, because puppy needs to settles in to the new home? Do you wait until 6 months or older? Just curious when people think it's the right time to begin proper training.

A. Training starts the first day you bring the puppy home. It takes a while, but you start immediately. NO... you NEVER wait till a pup is 6 mo old to start training him. You can find details on HOW to do it at the websites below.

A. The best recipe I have received is the cheerio one; put a handful of Cheerios in a container that has a tight lid. Throw in a few pieces of pepperoni and leave overnight in the fridge. Then use the Cheerios as the treats - they will smell of pepperoni. Also, a training treat should be no bigger than a raisin (not a thumb!)

Asked by John S - Wed Jul 30 20:39:11 2008 - - 11 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Good start. If you dog is able to pay attention, you can work with 5 basic commands, sit, stay, down (lay down), heel and place. Give her the sit command, then help her to sit. Praise. Give her the heel command and start walking. Keep her right beside you and on the same side each time (your choice). Then stop with a sit command, and help her sit. Praise. Do this a few times. When she starts to get the hang of it, you can correct her. You can mix it with down command. To get her to go down, step on the leash and apply gentle pressure to start to get her down. Give her a hand command with that. Put the palm of your hand over her head (not on her head). The place command is helpful with visitors, or dealing with trouble, etc. … [cont.]

A. It's just me and my boyfriend living together and he works a lot and the dogs pretty much ignore him. They have all been trained by me for the past 10yrs when i got the first. I don't think it is bad just having one person training, as long as the dog knows it's place at the bottom i don't see a problem. Obviously everyone in the household will need to be consistent with the dog and correct any inappropriate behavior. I believe the main training can be done by one person and not affect the dog or family negatively as long as it is done properly.

How can I optimize my weight training workout?
Q. My goals are size and strength. I do both weight training and cardio - alternating 3 days weight training, 3 days cardio, and 1 day rest. My weight training workout alternates between 3 sets each of two muscle groups, and then doing the same again but through different exercises, for a total of 12 sets per day, not including abs which are included in every weight training session. For example, one day might be 3 groups of BENCH - (quick rest) - CURLS, followed by 3 groups of CHINUPS - (quick rest) - FLYS. Sets normally consist of about 12, 10, and 8 reps to fatigue. Also, is muscle soreness a good indicator of resting that group that day?

Asked by Miley H - Sun Oct 5 04:21:29 2008 - - 15 Answers - 0 Comments

A. You can start training as soon as you get the puppy home (which should be 6 weeks or after). I began crate training immediately, especially since this takes time. Additionally you should start saying your dogs name often as soon as it gets home. Once you "get to know" your dog and it's personality, you can start with teaching him/her other skills. I started with sit at about 10 weeks. I did lay down and shake next. "Stay" takes a little more time, but you can also teach "come" at the same time. I didn't teach "speak" until about a year later. Eventually I decided to teach "high five." She just learned that one a few months ago and she's 3 years old. There's no age that is too late to teach a dog a new trick, contrary to the old… [cont.]

How can I train my puppy to poop indoors on the training pad?

Asked by rafaelcastillo85 - Sat Dec 27 13:09:53 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Put the training pads down in the places where he regularly poops and eventually he will learn. Or you could try training him to go outside straight away so that you don't need to bother with the pads. Everytime he looks like he is going to do something put him outside then he will learn that he needs to be let out before pooping (my dog learnt straight away, but my sisters took longer to be house-trained) hope that helps

How long is training to be a Japanese linguist in the air force?

Asked by scott - Mon Jul 6 05:32:12 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. There are no Japanese linguists in the air force...at least not formally. Although there is a Japanese language class at DLI, it is for advanced studies and not basic Japanese. Therefore, if you are planning on being a Japanese linguist, forget it. The language you get is based on two factors: 1.) If you are already fluent in a language based on your score on the DLPT and the air force needs it. 2.) Based on your DLAB score and what you qualify to learn. Then again, the needs of the air force. Most Category 4 languages are at least a year at DLI in Monterey, CA or DLI East in Washington DC.
