My Cockatiel has liver damage/disease. What is the best thing to do?
My cockatiel’s feces is green which indicates liver damage/disease. It has been going on for more then a week. I gave her bird medicine at first because i thought it was just degestive problems, or an infection. He has not been getting better, and his poop is green. I AM SURE it is liver problems, PLEASE tell me what i could do. I do not have money for a vet, and its not like he could do anything other than tell me that my bird does have liver problems. MOst vets recomend to give your bird ALOE DETOX which im on my way to buy it. Also their diet should changed from seeds to pellets,(im trying to do that, as my bird is 20 years old, and it very hard, but i can achieve it.) Also egg yolk foods should be fed, and a lot of exercise. WHAT other things can i do to make my bird feel better or heal? I know most cases of liver problems can be reversed or at least stopped if treated Correctly but i just want to do the best. PLease help me?
If you can’t afford the vet, and it doesn’t seem to get better over time, then I would probably say your goodbyes and put it down. I know this seems to sound mean, but when you think about it, your bird has had a nice long lived life, as cockatiels only live 15 through 25 years, maybe its just it’s time to go, and it’s not your fault, as it sounds like you truly love your bird, and I know it will take time to heal from all of the pain of a lost friend, but you have to think about the bird, and what’s best for it. Because if it were in pain, wouldn’t you rather see it on one of it’s better days before it gets even worse. Just think about it for another week. Then when you know, make the decision.

How to make running more bearable *I can’t listen to my iPod*?
How can i make running/just jogging for a mile or so more bearable? My parents won’t let me use my iPod and i have tried to sneak it out but anyway they won’t let me use it because they know somebody whose kid was running with a walkman like a freaking DECADE ago who got hit by a train. I have already made the point that we don’t even have trains around here.
Also i have to go with my dog to let her get exercise.
BIGGEST ISSUE: I have to run to get my fitness back up for soccer. I play competitively and my parents are making me run to get my stamina/speed back *got severely injured in a game*.
so basically,
SUGGESTIONS PLZ HELP I HATE RUNNING!
Change it up. If you live in a suburban area, do a trail run one day, then some runs near the city the next. Do different kinds of excercises. For example, try a farteleck. This is just fast and slow running mixed together. Run fast (not quite a sprint) between two telephone poles, rest (slow jog) the next one or two. This is relatively entertaining, and also a FANTASTIC way to increase your stamina, speed, endurance, and recovery. Also, try running with a group or club. Running is more fun when you run with people.

Calorie King.com is by far the best website to access if you are looking to reference the calorie count for any given food. Although you may not be big on having to count calories, it sometimes is good to have a guide for how many calories are in the basic foods you eat on a daily basis.
Many people think if they are eating a raw food diet, or juicing, that everything will take care of itself. You can actually consume lots of calories in juice, and therefore end up drinking too many calories. Calorie King has a bunch of stuff for sale in the way of programs and such (and this is not an endorsement), but you can just use the website to check on food calories. The site is easy to use and has drop down boxes that demonstrate the different ways to measure food whether it is grams, ounces, cups, etc.
From the website: “Control your weight or your weight will control you. At CalorieKing, our mission is to put you in charge of your weight so you can enjoy the life you choose.” Good advice for anyone watching their weight and wanting to eat healthy.

HOW TO MONITOR CVE USING A HEART RATE MONITOR?
I have to use a heart rate monitor to monitor my cardio vascular/respiratory endurance. How do i use my known training zone, resting heart rate, working heart rate etc when using the fitness machines to show that i am improving/ not improving .. i don’t understand how to calculate it?
Pleeease help :)
Basically, if you can run faster with a slower heart beat, its good. I cant help you too much with this, because I dont have any experience-My average heart rate for every session in running is between 180 and 200. Trust me, as soon as a start running-even slowly!-my heart rate rockets.
Get Fit Faster Using Heart Rate Based Training
what is the best time of day to exercise?
I’d like to know what is considered the best time of day to do exercises. I recently started doing my exercise routines in the mornings on waking up and before breakfast but I have found it really hard going and much more physically draining than when i used to do exercises in the evening (about half an hour before my evening meal). I thought the switch would be alot more convenient and fit better into my lifestyle but the side effects of exercising at this time is really affecting my motivation. I would appreciate comments from anyone but especially anyone in the fitness training industry.
I suspect you’re like me: an evening person. There are allegedly natural peeks and troughs in our daily lives, and that they differ from person to person. I say allegedly as I think the jury is still out on the issue. Anyway, the term is ‘biorhythm’ and more info is at the link below if you want to learn more.
Fifteen odd years ago I was an infantry soldier and the Army have this thing about making you do a lot of exercise and running before breakfast. Even though I was fit and a good runner, I hated it, and it put me off running for years after I left.
I started at the gym four years ago and almost always go in the evenings. Originally, it was because it was nine miles away and I was also doing fencing there (the sport with swords, not garden partioning) so it was convenient and cheaper to coincide the both.
Since changing gyms to one closer, I keep to the same regime – evenings. I have tried mornings occasionally and also lunchtimes, but never feel as comfortable. It always feels an effort to be there, and I seldom manage to put in more than one hour’s workout. Compare that to an evening, I usually manage at least two hours.
I do a lot of endurance running these days, and when I started that the advice was to go out on Sunday mornings as that was the day the races are usually held. I have mixed experiences of Sunday morning runs. Some are good, others bad, but almost always I find it a struggle to get out of the house. Mornings tend to be cooler though, and that’s as important to me as I don’t like running when its hot (to me, that is over 20C).
I tried swimming at the local pool on the way to work, and managed to keep that up for a while, but after a few months I found it was getting there later and later and my enthusiasm waned.
Like you, I’d prefer to do mornings and have my evenings free, but if I did I expect I’d find it unenjoyable.
If you struggle to workout in the mornings, but still want to work out, then my advice would be to go in the evenings if that was what works for you. Perhaps there is some scope for you to rearrange your exercise regime so you get it to fit better with your lifestyle.
With exercising I have always said ‘listen to your body’. It’s sound advice if you are wondering whether to exercise with a niggle/injury, and I think it could apply in your case. Your body is telling you that you are not a morning person, and you might do well to listen to it. You may be able to adjust to morning workouts, but the thing is whether you’ll be able to keep at it long enough to make the change successfully.

Has anyone been successful with the Boots 5 Day Plan Detox?
The reason why I ask is I just finished doing it and had great results and wondered if anyone else did. I’m on a low carb diet and I lost a bit of weight but never could feel it in my clothes but after 5 days on the detox I finally can feel a weight loss, plus I’ve felt so vibrant and refreshed.
Nope.

Question about the Lemonade & Cayenne Pepper Diet aka Master Cleanse?
I am wanting to do the Master Cleanse for a detox as opposed to weight loss, but I work in the mornings for about 8 hours, usually outside and walking around. I don’t want to pass out!
I want to have energy and be sustained. A little hunger is okay, but are there things I can do to complement the diet to just snack on? Maybe celery or fresh fruits and vegetables?
I read somewhere that protein shakes are okay but it seems like that is defeating the purpose of the cleanse.
Any suggestions welcome!
Sorry to burst your bubble, but drinking water mixed with lemon juice and pepper does not “cleanse” your body. You body cleanses itself natrually via digestion and elimination.

Costs of Dedicating my life To MMA?
I recently became interested in MMA
I just turned 23 years old.
Is it too old to start training in MMA
in hopes of making a career out MMA
HERE are few questions i have, and would appreciate hearing from people who have knowledge in this field.
what kind of opportunities will MMA bring into my life?
How will it Improve my life ?
What else can I do with what I learned??
I want to know everything possible about MMA and joining the UFC
How much do classes average to in cost. Jitsu & Muay Thai
How much salary do MMA fighters & UFC fighters make ?
Are there any good schools for MMA in Sacramento CA
Is there any exercises I can do at the gym,
to help me get in shape for this kind of style
How long will I have to train to be able to compete
What do i do, 2-3 years from now, when i am ready to compete in my first match ?
In answer to your questions.
1.Its never too late to enjoy a sport. They have 50 year olds competing around the place for the first time. To be a champion is different but 23 is definetly still young enough for sure. There are quite a few UFC guys who started later with little specific fighting background. Evan Tanner, Ian freeman etc.
2. The main oppotunities will be enjoyment and meeting people. You are respected whenever you walk into a room. The best boxer, the biggest wrestler, a special forces soldier attending a class all pay a lot of respect to the guy who can take them out in hand to hand. And you will get to meet all these guys eventually.
As to financially -there is not much money in MMA yet like there is in football, boxing or NBA. Its still mostly amateur-* even a lot of the actual ‘pro’ UFC guys still have to teach clubs and do seminars to make ends meet.
However these are opporunties in thesmelves and the sport may suddenly become more lucrative soon if Dana White stops being such a tightwad.
3. Once you are real good you can give self defence classes to the public, to the military like I did, do bodyguard work too.
4. classes don’t cost too much. Will depend on region and what it specialises in. I suggest looking up the biggest name in your locale and going along and saying you want train with them.I always did that with boxing. Even if you don’t turn out to be elite level, you can learn a lot from successful people just hanging out with them.
5. Back to the salary. Not much like I said. The sport is still poorly regulated and Dana white and the fertitia brothers have a strangle hold on the fighters. The top most famous guys like couture and tito in the day might have been on a few hundred thousand a fight and good sponsorship.
But the lesser fighters on the same UFC night are still on only a few thousand which is pathetic. Same for the lesser MMA comps. That’s why these guys have to make so many hokey training videos and run clubs in their spare time to survive.
Don;t see top boxers or NBA players have to do that…
So look at it as amatuer at first, that you are not doing it for the money anyway ,and see what happens later. At the very least you can open a club one day and some of them make good money.
4.Log onto Sherdog.com to ask about schools in your area. Remember choose the biggest name you can find who will train beginners :)
5.There are many exercises you can do at the gym. Start training first and ask your trainer what he recommends. In the meantime any body building program a gym gives you is a good way to get your muscles used to lifiting weights. After you start training you can change it to more fight specific moverments.
Do some running each day is the other best form of fitness. When you start your lungs huffing and puffing, and tired arms will take you a few weeks to get used to.
6.To compete. Depends on your coach and how much you train. Take it seriously, don;t miss classes and put in 4-5 nights a week and 6 months is possible.
2-3 years? No way you will have had 5-6 fights by then if you want :)
7. sorry if my answer numbers don’t match I was not checking them lol.

Exercise regime – training for London marathon.?
I want to start training for next years London marathon. I can only run about half a mile. Sucks i know.
Can anyone give me a weekly exercise/ training regime that could help me?
I don’t want to be just running. That would be boring. I want to lose a bit of weight too.
- I can’t afford the gym or any fitness classes.
- There’s a cycle track near where i live (i think it’s about 2 miles there and back).
- I have weights, but they’re only 1.5kgs.
- Have stairs, obv. wii fit and a bike.
- I eat healthily, so i don’t need to change that.
Help please.
I have a skipping rope too, if that helps. =P
A skipping rope is excellent to build up your cardio abilities. Try interval training with it – do a minute skipping and then a light jog for a minute and then back to skipping for a minute and so on. Start with literally a 6 minute workout three times a week and add an additional minute to the skipping and jogging every week. You will be surprised at how quickly your cardio increases.
Help with summer training…lots of opinions and help please!?

Can someone give me a marathon training schedule based on my current fitness level?
I would like to run the Vegas Marathon on Dec 6th. I currently run 5 miles several days a week as well as some shorter runs the other days of the week. I weight train, and am in better shape than most people in general. Is it even possible for me to train in time for this run and can someone give me a training schedule and tips.
There are 4 types of run to include in your schedule.
1) Long run. This should be at an easy pace, where you can comfortably carry out a conversation. At the moment, build up to about 10 miles, once every 2 weeks or so, with about 8 miles in the intervening weeks. In august, start to increase this gradually up to 18 or so. Try to be up 18 to 20 miles every other week by the end of october, with about 16 miles on the intervening weeks. You might want to do one of about 22 miles by early november, just to boost your confidence, but it’s not really necessary – if you can do 20 miles after a full week training, you’ll be able to do 26 after 2 weeks of tapering down.
2) Race pace run. This is to get you used to running at the pace you want to do the race at, do about 4 to 5 miles now, and by the start of october, start to increase this gradually, up to about 12 to 13 miles by the beginning of november.
3) Interval session. One of these a week, to build up your stamina / recovery, speed or strength.
4) Recovery runs. These are easy pace runs, on the days between the other sessions, to build up your weekly mileage, and to help to recover from the hard runs on the other days. Some of these could be replaced with swims or cycling.
Between now and august, train pretty much as you are now, between august and the start of october, build up the mileage, and between the start of october and the middle of november, maintain the mileage, and increase the intensity. For the last 2 weeks before the race, taper down your training.
You might want to reduce the weight training during the 2 to 3 months before the marathon.
If you need any further advice, feel free to email me.
Hope this helps.

Exercise plateau- im slim but have last 3kg to lose and am struggling!?
I would love to hear from a qualified dietician/personal trainer about this issue I’ve had with my body. I am very fit, I eat well i exercise 5 hours a week at least by dancing/running/ hill walking with weights etc. I have been struggling however to get down to my ideal weight, which is only 3kg less than I am now. I can’t seem to budge those last few pounds. It gets so depressing. I’ve tried everything from low carb diets which just make you gain after you lose the weight and then i’ve tried detox diets like Dr Joshi and The Food Doctor way of living (not the strict diet). I dont eat chocolate and fatty foods, I eat high fibre, (brown rice/ wheat free bread/ gluten free cereal etc). Im doing everything someone would advise you to do to lose weight but its not working.
Im actually going to run another hour at my gym tonight (5 miles) and im sure it won’t make any difference.
This is so frustrating, can someone give me a plan that WORKS or what am I doing wrong? Im so fed up! thanx
Do…
Stay loose. Whether it comes from a lack of confidence or a determination to lose weight f-a-s-t, beginners are particularly prone to tensing up when working out. “If you’re white-knuckle-gripping the bars on the bike and clenching your teeth, you’re wasting a lot of energy.Relax the muscles you’re not working, and focus on the ones you are. You’ll have more energy and get better results.”
DON’T..
Be a slouch. Whether you’re leafing through the latest gossip rag on the elliptical or curling dumbbells on a bench, straighten up. “Posture affects your mood as well as your performance.
Slumping causes you to check out of your workout both mentally and physically. The less you focus during your sweat session, the less you’ll receive in the way of benefits. Slouching also keeps you from breathing deeply, which is necessary for delivering the oxygen your muscles need to work at full capacity.
Do…
Set new goals. It’s easy for gym regulars to hit a slump and stop seeing the benefits or having the fun that kept them motivated in the past. Before you start dodging gym dates, find a new challenge: Sign up for a 5K, or plan an active vacation like hiking the Tetons or kayaking and surfing in Baja
Breathe better. To improve your performance, focus on your breathing.”Inhale deeply during the rest phases of an exercise, and exhale forcefully in the work phases.” Try inhaling to a count of three and exhaling to a count of three. A powerful exhale can help you generate more force, which means you’ll be able to do more work.
Don’t…
Skimp on shoes. Choose footwear for its functionality, not because it’s stylish. Inadequate shoes can lead to injuries, so go to a sporting goods or athletic-shoe store, where knowledgeable staff can fit you with shoes designed to support your feet during specific activities. If you wear your shoes regularly, make sure to replace them every three months. Though the treads might still be intact, the cushioning and support in the midsoles will likely have worn out by then.
Be unbalanced. Most regular exercisers are diligent about including cardio, strength, and flexibility in their routines, but they forget about balance.This critical skill allows you to move fluidly and avoid injuries. At the end of your workout, stand on one leg and lift the other out in front of you. Try to hold this for 20 to 30 seconds, then repeat with the other leg. When this move gets too easy, you can shake things up by closing your eyes, making circles with the raised leg, and/or standing on the edge of a step, balance disk, or Bosu.
Do…
What you hate. Many advanced exercisers don’t like struggling with things they aren’t naturally good at, so they avoid the exercises that really challenge them. But those are the moves that help build a stronger, more balanced body and prevent overuse injuries. Whether you’re avoiding squats, crunches, or stretches, add the moves to your routine two or three times a week.
Work out with someone slower. Once a week, exercise with a buddy who moves at a more leisurely pace. You’ll give your body a chance to regenerate, and maybe you’ll even have a bit more fun. Fitness fanatics tend to exercise competitively: “That’s why this group has a higher injury rate; they’re always pushing as hard as they can,”. “You need to take it easy periodically so your muscles can repair themselves and become stronger before your next workout.”
Don’t…
Be a slave to the numbers. Tracking your heart rate or running time can provide instant, valuable feedback; but when used obsessively, these tools can dampen the joy of exercise itself — or even make you push yourself when you’re not feeling 100 percent. “Every now and then, go unplugged and focus your attention on what your body is telling you
Eat like an Olympian. Energy bars and sugary sports drinks are necessities for top athletes who struggle to meet caloric demands out on the playing field. But unless you’re training for the Ironman, a 200-calorie energy drink and a 300-calorie carb bar can undo all your hard work.Fuel up with three balanced meals and two light snacks, such as fruit and crackers, per day. Any more than that will just go to your waist.
Make Every Gym Minute Count
1. Just press “intense.” Don’t have that much time to work out? “Try high-intensity aerobic exercise or resistance training [working at about an 8 on a scale of 1 to 10], which can help you burn an extra 50 to 150 calories during the first two hours after exercise.For cardio, incorporate several speed intervals; for strength training, do circuits.
2. Follow the new guidelines. The latest word from the experts at the American College of Sports Medicine: For minimum health gains, do moderately intense cardio (hard enough to break a sweat) for at least 30 minutes, five days a week, plus total-body strength training twice weekly. Want to shed pounds? Bump the cardio to an hour.
3. Squeeze in a quickie workout. This total-body circuit-training routine is perfect for days when you feel pressed for time. Do each exercise for about one minute; complete the circuit two or three times.
Squat (15 to 20 reps)
Lunge (15 reps per side)
Push-up (10 to 15 reps)
Bridge (15 to 20 reps)
Plank pose (hold 30 to 60 seconds)
5. Drop a size, fast. Take a three-pronged approach.First, follow a daily diet low in refined carbs (white bread, pasta) but high in fruits and veggies, with moderate protein; aim for about 1,500 calories. Twice a week, do total-body strength workouts.reducing or eliminating rest time between sets. Finally, three days a week, do interval training (alternating four to seven high-intensity levels with moderate recovery periods). Stay the course and you should reach your goal in about four weeks.
6. Stop sucking it in. Eat right and work out to minimize flab after having a baby. If you’ve got post-pregnancy pooch, try this move. Lie faceup on a towel placed horizontally on the floor, with knees bent and heels in line with glutes. Cross the towel over your midsection, holding each end. Lift head, neck, and shoulders off the floor as you exhale, drawing abs toward spine while pulling tightly on the towel. “In many women, the abdominal muscles actually separate from the added pressure of the baby, so the first thing you need to do is strengthen them until they join together.llett. Do 10 reps a day.
