Very helpful tool :D

only search advicenators.com

advice

what are some good workouts to do for badminton tryouts?

oh wow, i have your answer

here is what i did...

i went to badminton conditioning and this is what we did...
-running (like 10 minutes)
-ab workouts (i dont know why, but it really made me stronger) situps, cruntches, suitcases (go on google to "ab workouts")
-pushups
-superman/superwomen
-wall sits
-we also did foot works (like we would practice the footing for a serve w/ a pretend racket

basically you just have to get in shape to impress them with your strenght and will power

p.s. i made the team (if i hadn't done this i would not have made it, im serious)

I have been underweight for awhile now. I used to do strict dieting and could be considered anorexic, but I haven't been hungry in awhile. I eat every 3 hours [breakfast, lunch, and dinner with snacks inbetween] and I eat whenever I do feel hungry. The problem is I haven't been gaining weight like I should be. I do not like eating fatty foods. That seems to be my main problem. Is there any way I can gain weight without having to eat foods high in fat? I get enough calories in a day, but I have a fast metabolism. I probably take in about 1500-1600 calories without exercising. Should I increase that even more? Is there something I'm doing wrong? Any ideas/opinions?? Thanks!!

you need atleast 2000 calories in your diet each day ans since you have a fast matabolism you should definetly eat more! lol. maybe have a chocolate bar now and then or go to a resturant

but you will definetly have to eat more

Hey,
I live in manitoba, in canada, and its freezing here right now. Last week I was outside without a hat on and my ear got really red, and hurt alittle, but it stopped hurting after about twenty minutes. I was alittle worried about frostbite, so I started wearing my hat. Today it was super cold (-45C, I dont know what that is in F sorry :P) and I think that even though I was wearing my hat, I got frostbite. Last time the soreness went away right away, but its been about nine hours since I went out and it still hurts when I touch it. I know its not severe, but is there anything I should be doing to treat it, or will it heal itself?
Thanks for the help!
-Ange

try getting is warmer,
frosbite is dangerous so if it does not go away please have it checked.
and stay warm

I sit with some of my friends during lunch that I have known for over 10 years and now there is this one guy who has started sitting with us and he kinda creeps me and my friends out. I had one class with him last semester and 2 of my guy friends we sit with kinda knew him from football and he is a grade ahead of us so we really don't know him and he really doesn't know us. He said he was going to sit with us because he didn't know anyone else in that lunch period since it was mostly a freshman lunch and he is a sophmore. He creeps us out and is really annoying. We have jokingly told him to go sit somewhere else and kinda been hinting that we don't really want him to sit with us, but he isn't really getting it. How can we nicely tell him we don't want him sitting with us at lunch. We don't want to be mean, he really doesn't know that many people in this lunch, but we DO NOT WANT HIM SITTING WITH US!

maybe for a couple of days you guys could sit in a different place w/o telling him... then he'll maybe get it.

Slaughter houses, disgust me. I want to change slaughter houses, the killing animals can somebody tell me how i could help?
I'm only 14/f. (9th grade)
The only meat I eat is chicken, and I can't help it but i still feel bad afterwords.
Why can't farm owners cant wait untill the animal dies, then slaughter and sell it? Thats organic right? Instead of slicing its neck open with tears dripping down its eyes. ):
Supposly the islamic method makes the animal feel no pain.. is this true?

Is there something i could go to school for, to change the method of killing animals?
I want my job to help animals, but i do not want to be a vet. JUst some suggestions on anything i've asked or written would mean alot to me.

the way muslims have their meat killed is more humane. What they do is just cut the neck. this way the animal instantly dies and it is better. we also believe in not killing the animal while its eating or feeding their young, becase thats cruel. its called "halal meat"

where do you live cause you can buy it in certain pakistani/indian stores, and maybe i can help...

Do glasses make your chin look bigger or smaller? Either the small-gray-square-framed lenses, or thick black square ones.

i don't know that but i do wear glasses and i would say that the best thing is to try different kinds.

Square lenses could make a small face look strange because it would over power the face.

18/f
majorly overweight
sadly, considered obese
i'm 5'5" and weigh 203 pounds...
yea, it makes me real sad when i see that
things is, i don't really look all that fat
but it is there =(
does anyone know of how i can fix this problem?
like steps to take to becoming healthier
and more fit/tone like all over?

start by eating healthier, this way when you excersize, the healthy eatin gwill help. Also i just learned form my class that if you are interessted in keeping a healthy weight, you have to loose 600 calories a day. Don't get discouraged by this number because its easily an hour walk.

Now, when you start to loose weight, don't even think about fad diets and pills becuase they can seriously hurt you.

when you start, you won't see much results but thats because you will be loosing the fat that surrounds your lungs and heart, because they are more crutial to your body. then after some time you will start to se major weight loss.

my advice, don't get discouraged and keep at it and have some one work out with you.

So my family is the richest by far in my town. My town is small, but we are probably the richest in our county and the counties surrounding us. My Grandpa was a doctor since he was in his late twenties early thirties. He died at the age of 75. All of his money went to us. My mom is an RN and makes good money. My dad is probably the biggest rancher in our state.
Recently a girl's dad in my school (who used to work for us) got an oil rig job. They finnaly got money and I was happy for them. Now they really get to live a little compared to living how they used to. Well she got a new car (mustang) when she turned sixteen. She is a year older than me. I just turned sixteen and I got a Dodge Ram 3500 dually Mega Cab 2008. Her dad saw what I had got and came up to me and said "I like your truck. Too bad it's not as nice as my daughters." I blew it off like I didn't hear it, but then his daughter came up to me and asked me what year mine was and how much it cost. I didn't answer how much because I knew that was snoody. Then the other day I was talking about a cruise I had been on with some friends and her dad happen to over hear me. He said "Tia will be going on a cruise of the next three summers." And every time I get something new she gets something just like it. She is constantly telling me how much her clothes cost when I own the same clothes. It's really annoying and I'm not sure what I should do about it. Any suggestions to get them off my back?

Also I'm not the braggy type. I like to keep to myself about the money I have. I only told you my families money to let you know where we both stand.

well, actually i think this is what was happening

maybe you didnt notice but that girl (before they got rich) envied you. Maybe she wanted what you had. So when they finally got more money she felt that she could have the things that you had. But of corse greed gets to us, and it made her want more than you. It's maybe her way of showing that she can be as better if not better.

ignore it, and don't try to "beat" her in this "game".

just be normal and soon she will stop...

hey!
well im 14 and going to be a freshman next year and i want to try out for my high schools dance team. Try outs are in december 2008, and i would LOVE to make it. Im thinking about taking private lessons in order to catch up on the dancing ive missed out on.(i use to dance when i was 7) So yea, it has been a while. I use to be really good, so i know a lot of the stuff, just i have forgotten how to do it all. My mom is going to make ME pay for the lessons, but i dont have a job, so i dont know how i could afford them!

So does anyone have any good advice/ tips or websights or something that can teach me how to do the following...??
Try-out Expectations
Turns
- clean double/triple pirouette
- chaine’s (R/L); in plie; releve; fast or slow
- piques
- inside pirouettes
• need to have all turns on R and L with correct technique!
Leaps
- axle (on R)
- jete (brush leap)
- saute chat (develope leap)
- X-leap
- Leap in full 2nd (both sides)
• with exception of axle, need to have leaps on both R and L, with correct
technique!
Kicks
We expect kicks and fans to be well above shoulder height, with straight
knees and pointed ankles and toes. Work on your stamina, strength and
endurance. A Y scale will be in the piece.
Splits
- flat/close to flat on R and L
Overall Dance Technique/ Style
- You need to be familiar with all ballet positions of the feet and arms.
- You need to be familiar with transition steps (chasse, pas de bourre, ball
changes, etc..)
- You need to working on being a stylized dancer

also anyone know any good stretches to get my splits?? I use to be able to do them really well, but now its soo sad!! haha

alright, so today me & my boyfriend colored my hair. Before it was like really blonde, and my roots were coming in(medium brown) so I went and got some color. Well it came out dark brown, and red in it. I didn't read this tip thing, that said this color will give you a red look. My hair makes me sick to my stomach, really. I want it either my old color, or a dirty blonde. My mom said we're going to a hair place tomorrow, and see what they say to get. Any tips?

p.s I know I was dumb for not reading the tips.

don't do the blond thing cause sometimes the color comes out.

i would say that you should have go back to your original color

16/f im about 5'6' and i weigh like 130ish and im 100% no muscle. i would weigh alot less if i didnt have dds but is it bad for a chic to weigh this much?

umm yeah, well now i really feel bad cause im 16 5'1" and wiegh 120ish.

its weird cause some people show it more,others don't (i don't much) anyways, weight is so played out. the most important thing is being healthy and fit. as long as you are that, you have nothing to worry about.

my sweet 16s coming up and i'm wondering who i should invite i mean like do i invite the friends of my friends who i don't really talk to? or just like everyone in my school or what? i'm totally clueless

don't invite everyone! its way more fun when you have close friends and have fun. also just having family is good too.

p.s. lately alot of kids are having there b-day party at Cuckie-Cheeses cause they won't get to when they are older. That would be fun, just have ppl pay for there own tickets.

Happy Sweet 16!!! (mine is coming up soon!)

this is for my little sister she wants to know what kind of trends there are for kids ages 10-12 but she dosnt want girly stuff she is a tomboy so if you guys could help some she would really aprecate it alot thanks to anyone who answers this question PPPPEEEAAACCCEEE OOOUUUTTT

i asked my sister who is 11 and she said that girls at her school wear a lot of those zipper sweaters are really seen. ALso tank-tops with those sweaters are popular. She says they wear button-down shirts are good too (but that may be a little girly). Normal tee-shirts are good. Kids at there age are still new to actually caring about what to wear but most still don't care.
