1. QUESTION:
   How Do i sculpt my body without going to a gym?

   Thanks i would like to know asap. sooo. yeah. thanks

   • ANSWER:
     well first always stretch before a workout. to firm legs, run around your block or park(where ever you want) or you could run back and forth and time yourself. that also helps build cafs.to build strong abs, what i do is i lie down pick up my legs half way and cross my legs and start pulling myself up.it's a little more effective than the regular sit ups.

3. QUESTION:
   How do I body Sculpt?
   I know that there is a difference between body sculpting and weight lifting, but I cannot find clear exercises that will actually 'sculpt' my body.

   What can I do?
   I am a young guy, small build.

   • ANSWER:
     Hi Whoa, how are you today?

     The difference between body building and toning is repetition and the amount of weight you use. The following is what I have concluded after much research for myself.

     To body build, you will want to focus more on the amount of weight you use.

     However, to tone, you would use less weight and focus more on repetition.

     To have a lean, tone body, you may also want to consider a yoga or pilates class. People like the singer Sting have gained much benefit from yoga including a lean, tone body, stamina and balance. Remember, yoga and pilates are not just for the ladies, it can be a great source of exercise for both genders.

     In case you are not familiar with the singer sting, I have enclosed a pic. of him as an example of what yoga has done for him (I'm not sure what is up with the dog though).

     Not interested in yoga? Perhaps if you are able to financially, you could seek a personal trainer who can cater the perfect work out to what you desire.

     Good luck, and take care.

4. QUESTION:
   does kim kardashian fit into your Jeans by friday ultimate butt body sculpt work?
   okaii i bought the video and i really want to know if it really works. how many times a week do i have to do it so that i can see improvements. i want to get a nice body before i start school again in august.

   • ANSWER:
     Kim could never fit her trunk junk into my jeans! Oh wait, the question is just worded oddly.

     It works fairly well, but only if you do it five or six times a week. I would recommend the Brazilian Butt Lift instead. You can do a quick trial if you don't mind not having a video. I'm linking an article that eventually ended in an infomercial. If you see results, even a little, buy the video.

     I have done the latter, but not the former. A friend of mine did though, my butt looks better!

     EDIT: If you really want to see a significant change and are willing to work for it, do the whole Slim in 6 plan. It's brutal, but it works.

     good luck!

8. QUESTION:
   Best ways to sculpt my body?
   I am 16, 5’5" and I weight 121.5 pounds. Reading that you may say that I’m perfectly normal but I have a smaller bone structure so the extra stuff is fat. I need a way to sculpt my body because I’m going to be a councilor at a summer camp for 6 weeks this summer and I need to turn my fat into muscle and get in shape and especially have more energy to run around with the younger kids.

   My main problems are my abs, thighs, and butt. I need a free way (online) to help with them.

   I already eat healthy so my diet is not my problem but I’ll be honest and say that since I quit dancing and playing softball I haven’t really done anything physical. So it’s been about 3 years that I have been active constantly. I do have outings with my venture crew where we go hiking or mountain biking or swimming but that’s only about once a month.

    Can men sculpt their body hair?
    I'm not overly hair, but sometimes I feel the urge to sculpt my body hair. My chest hair is fine, as well as the line that runs down my belly, but I don't like when it spreads over my stomach. Recently, I started shaving much stomach, area (except for the center line), which looks better, but just gets prickly over night. I also would like to shave some of the chest hair, so it's not so expansive.

14. QUESTION:
    where can i find a list of body sculpting exercises to sculpt the chest?

    • ANSWER:
      Try.
      bodybuilding.com
      exrx.net
      ast-ss.com
      There are a million sites out there.
      However there is only a limited number of exercises that are really effective.
      Stick to "Compound Movements" exercises that use alot of muscle goups, so you can use alot of weight.
      Heavy pressure on the muscle is what tears it down so it can rebuild and grow.
      Flat, decline and incline bench presses, with enough weight to let you get 6-9 reps, will give you the most growth.
      Only use crossovers and flies as a chaser, to keep time under tension. (keep the muscle stimulated, to fire more fibers)

      no your speed wont change (i use that word lightly because we don't run at constant speed 24/7) unless you race imidietly after you do your intervals... then you'd be tired

17. QUESTION:
    Can I sculpt a perfectly muscular body without going to a gym?
    I'm a male and can't afford the fee there, is it possible to use weight lifting equipments like dumbbell to build my body?

    PS : My aim is not like those incredible body builder, but I want a average and stunning muscular body.

    Thanks.

    • ANSWER:
      Hi.

      There are some exercises you can do at home. My sons work out in the garage and they have achieved the same results at home as they would have at the gym.

      I believe the key is to have the proper equipment at home. Also, if you only want to use dumbbells at home, there are a lot of books at the book store that can assist you in the correct exercises and posture to build the maximum muscle possible.

      There are a few things you may need. All a relatively inexpensive and can easily be obtained at any sporting goods store.

      With that being said, you can have an average stunning muscular body!

19. QUESTION:

    • ANSWER:
      Pilates is amazing it definitely helps you sculpt your body and lose inches and weight. I use a pilates machine frequently and since I have had several knee surgeries they do have cardio exercise you can do on there also.
      It also helps elongate the spine, is easy on joints, and increases flexibility.

20. QUESTION:
    Does a girdle help sculpt your body?
    Someone told me once that if you wear tight clothes or a girdle consistently than it will help in sculpting your body permently. Is this too good to be true??
    HAHA very funny Brittnay! You asked this question not me! =)

    • ANSWER:
      Hey Lauren =) i don't think so. girdles tend to constrict natural bloodflow and the most important internal organs might not function properly; prolonged use might even damage those organs. A woman who went through a C-section delivery had to wear a girdle for sometime to help the wound heal steadily in place but didnt do anything for her body, once the wound healed she got out of the girdle and went to her exercise routine. proper diet and exercise will do it for people. though i see a lot of web traffic in favor of girdles both for men and women so it probably boils down to a woman's freedom of choice. But for me, I'd go for consistent exercise to get my lean body once more.

22. QUESTION:
    is a mix of 40 minute cardio, 20 minute weight training and a good diet the right way to sculpt the body?
    any success stories? what did you do?

    • ANSWER:
      Define sculpt. If you're talking about general fitness, you're not really going to sculpt anything. If your aim is for weight loss then you really want to try for 45-60 minutes plus however long your weight training routine takes to finish the exercises. A good diet is key as well for weight loss.

28. QUESTION:
    How to lose weight pretty fast and sculpting body, especially stomach, effectively?
    I want to lose weight and sculpt my body but I only loss weight 4 pounds in 2 month. Anybody know how to lose pretty fast but also not easily gain weight? Because eating just a little bit is not good for health and diet.

    • ANSWER:
      Regardless of your leg, butt, hip, thigh and tummy goals from fat/flab/cellulite reduction to firming, slimming, building, toning, lifting and sculpting. The “right combination” of exercise variables will give you much better results in a shorter amount of time. Combine these variables improperly and you’ll just keep spinning your wheels, with no results to show for your efforts. Just a lot of frustration, anger and wasted energy.

      Age, genetics and body type have much less impact on how your body looks and feels, than you may have been led to believe by traditional media, your friend’s sister’s brother in law or your family physician. Truth be told, your body is quite adaptable when treated properly “with the right program” as opposed to trying to force change on it with inappropriate, heavy weight-training and uncomfortable machine type exercise programs.

      I am a 5.7 and 25 years old and a month ago I weigh 147lbs although about a year ago I weighed 188lbs. I am not very happy with how I look, although I have slimmed down a lot, but I still look like I'm pregnant. My stomach is flabby, my butt is big and I just feel and look disgusting. I used to run on treadmill for 15-20 mins then do some stretching for 10 min and then workout for 30-40 mins and all this 7 days a week. But I just couldn’t reach my goal. It is enough to make anyone frustrated.

      A month ago a friend introduced me a workout program. I was skeptical at first that this would work by itself. Targeted weight loss is quite tough, some would say impossible, but it definitely does produce results. I have lost 20 lbs in four weeks plus 3 inches from my stomach and even my legs are much more slimmer then before. If you are wondering that this program is too good to be true then get your FREE copy of ‘The Leg, Butt, Hip and Thigh Enhancement e-Guide’ at the source below. You will not regret it! And your body will thank you for it.

31. QUESTION:
    What is the difference between body toning and body sculpting?
    I saw a catalog for workout classes, and I was wondering if anyone knows what the difference between body toning and body sculpting is, since they are two separate classes offered.

    I would like to take a physical education class where I could lose some of my fat in butt/waist region, do you have any suggestions?

    • ANSWER:
      Regarding the initial question, toning would yield the type of image seen in Shape magazine. Body sculpting implies deliberate weight training, as for body building in the amateur or professional level. And, there are different magazines for that. To do toning, just get DVD and lift low weights. For making major changes, you need to eat a certain way, lift higher weights, learn the muscular anatomy by heart, eat protein after a workout. It is a different way to see yourself as the ultimate result. If you are starting with poor strength and functional ability to live a daily life, reach up, move furniture, clean floors, etc., then start at point A, meaning build strength. If you want to more compact body, learn about toning. If you are more advanced, then, become more cut or defined muscularly. As far as losing fat, you need to be diligent and raise your heart rate to 85% of your target for at least 20 minutes every other day, maybe by running or using the stair master. For these types of activities, it is worth it to book a few sessions with a trainer. Also, your diet may need to be cleaned up, as you may wish to lose weight.

33. QUESTION:
    How many calories are burned during a body sculpting class?
    I don't know what to fill it in as. Circuit training says an hour would be around 450 calories burned which I don't think is correct. How much would an hour of body sculpting workout class burn? I would say it's a moderate intensity.

    • ANSWER:
      For a 200 pound person, it would burn around 275, depending on how much you were continually moving. Obviously, if you weigh less or more, that number will increase or decrease.

34. QUESTION:
    How does one "Sculpt" their body?

At what point do i not have to flex and you can still see the muscle? Also,How does one get the whole lines that distinguish the muscles apart on the arm? Thanx a bunch.

    • ANSWER:
      you have to keep working out. it doesnt happen right away. these things take time and lots of work. but if you kep it up and amp up your workouts as you progress, then the end result will be what you want. dont use steroids and dont push yourself too hard, these things will only hurt you in the end. plus dont forget once you get what you want you have to keep doing the work or you will lose the tone.

37. QUESTION:
    What's the best way to "sculpt" ur body?
    I don't want to lose weight or anything. Just "sculpt" it. BTW, I'm a girl. the last time i asked, i only got answers for guys so...

    • ANSWER:
      Pilates is a good way to "sculpt", and weight lifting. Along with some cardio activity 3xs a week, such as running, biking, swiming, or the elliptical.

      I have a great pilates video, called "10 Minute Solutions" by Lara Hudson. It has 5 10 minute segments that work on different muscles. You can do them individually if you're pressed for time or all at once for an intense 50 minutes workout.

      Your local YMCA (or any gym, just that the Y is usually cheaper) offers great classes that are free to members, and a lot will help you "sculpt".

      Eating healthy will help too (which I assume you do). Avoid junk foods (pop, candy, cookies, desserts, potatoe chips, etc). Eat lots of fruit and veggies and drink lots of water. Make sure you eat breakfast, because it helps you burn calories during the day. And only eat when you're hungry, and if you have to snack, eat something healthy like nuts, fruit/veggies, yogurt, etc.

40. QUESTION:
    what are some good workouts to do that will sculpt the body ?
    okay so i'm looking for a workout that wont drain my strength i just want to lose my stomach and have a few pac's and just shed extra weight off the rest of my body and i want a nice skinny but not to skinny tight body
    and what is the average weight for a 6'0 girl , and all my weight goes to my stomach and my body is not equally distributed how can i fix that any workouts
    

    • ANSWER:
      I would say that you need to weigh approx. 150 pounds to remain healthy, but it is more important for you to check your body fat content as well and see if you need to burn off fat.

      If you are overweight and have excess fat, keep in mind that there is no way that you can burn fat or reduce weight in specific parts of your body such as stomach, any workout will only cause your body to burn fat uniformly and lose weight across all body parts.

      For body sculpting, you could try pilates or training with resistance bands. There are good DVDs available on Amazon.com. Keep in mind also that weights training is very effective and it is a misconception that weights will make you big and bulky or unnecessary muscular, in fact it will be ideal to make you skinny and well sculpted.

      Lastly, to shed off weight and sculpt your body, you need both cardio such as jogging or treadmill and strength training such as resistance bands or weights training.

      Don't also worry that if you exercise a lot, you will become skinny everywhere else and your stomach will become normal, your body will regulate itself to make you uniformly fit and good looking.

      All the best.

42. QUESTION:
    How important are supplements for body sculpting?
    I do not want a wrestler like look.

    I just want to tone my body. Just tonned abs, shoulders and pecks.

    Should I take any supplement?

    • ANSWER:
      Not very important. Tons of people get their desired bodies without any supplements at all. They're really just for people who are passionate about it and want to do everything they possibly can (aside from taking anabolic steroids) to get maximum results.

      Alot of people think taking whey protein shakes is the missing link in their routine that'll transform their physique within a few weeks. This isn't the case at all.

    I had to sculpt for class last year and have continued. Is there a place to watch sculpters at work? Preferably sculpting body parts, ie; the face, hands, feet.

    • ANSWER:
      You can check out your local art schools or colleges, sometimes they allow the public to watch their classes, there's also tons of DVD's you can watch or even check out at your library. Here's one you can find at dickblicks.com: http://www.dickblick.com/products/portrait-sculpting-anatomy-and-expressions-in-clay-dvd/
      I'd also suggest the book "Anatomy for Artists" By Sarah Simblet: http://www.amazon.com/Anatomy-Artist-Sarah-Simblet/dp/078948045X

      I'd also suggest (you may already be doing this though) using oil based clay for your practice, it will never dry & I love working with it because if you mess up on something, you can just rework it over & over again. It's great for practice. Sculpy is another clay you can check into. It's more on the craft side of things, but fine artists & professionals use it too. I love it. It's oven bake clay, but won't harden until you bake it, easy to work with, non-toxic & comes in all colors. You can find it at your local hobby/craft stores such as Michael's or JoAnn Fabrics.

      Have fun!!! Keep it up!

44. QUESTION:
    Is it possible for someone to have a well sculpted body without going to gym or without doing weight training?
    Since I suffer from arthritis my doctor has advised against doing heavy weights. Is there any way someone can have well sculpted body without doing heavy weight training or doing high impact exercises? Will something like swimming help or any other form of exercise? I don't want to be like a heavily built body builder but want to have a well chiseled body.
    Please give your suggestions for the same.

    • ANSWER:
      I have the same problem. I still do some exercises but stick with body weight exercises - push ups, pull up,s dips, and you can get a sculpted body with these and a sensible diet. Good luck.

46. QUESTION:
    How can I get a sculpted body?
    I am naturally a skinny guy, eating whatever I want and staying around 170 pounds. I have also been working out hard for the past 8 weeks, P90X. Most of the websites tell me the diet that I need to do to get huge, but I don't want that. What type of diet should I do to shed the out-layer of fat and still gain some good muscle to get a sculpted body?

    • ANSWER:
      To get a sculpted body you don't need to eat much. Binge eating will not get you any closer to your goals. The diet is 50% important in p90x and the exercises are also 50% important . WIthout the diet you won't see good results and eating whatever you like won't help.

      Basically you've got to eat more healthily while eating about 200 calories less than your caloric maintenance level of around 2000 calories per day. So went you count calories in meals they've got to add up to 1800 calories more or less. That way you can burn fat in the long term and won't lose muscle. Your toning/sculpting will come from lifting weights.

      Just keep at the p90x routine. At 8 weeks you haven't finished yet so you need to carry on doing it without giving up

48. QUESTION:
    Am I silly at 44,starting to work out & body sculpt?
    I have always been active but never really got into sports.After sickness 2 years ago,I started exercising.I got to a point where I wanted more.I started doing light weights as well.I was already walking every day, doing aerobics and palites.I started to muscle up and look great so Ive kept it up.Hubby says I look great & my friends say I am good enough to compete soon if I want to.I am married with 6 kids,all my own. I know my body looks better now than ever,but fell at 44,I may be deluding myself.I would like your opinions on this please guys as sometimes I feel silly. I also get sligh looks and comments now from all the locals.
    To add to this, I was told I was a "Wanna Be" and old has been and trying to be mutton dressed as lamb,so to speak.I get a lot of compliments too, for example,my hubby is a DJ.I went with him one night and the regular bar maid asked him if I was his wife.He said yes,and she told him I was just drop dead gorgeous considering I had six kids.
    My oldest son to a previous marriage is 19 and sometimes people ask if Im his g/friend, which he hates, LOL.My friend is now writing a program 4 me and wants me to compete.All of my closest friends support me so much. My dad said I was a joke and my mother laughs at times. By the way, both my parents are over weight. I guess they have shaken my confidence the most. I think a womans body can look just beautiful if its fit and slightly muscular.That applies to me as well. I truly appreciate your answers guys,so thank you, all of u, a million!
