Learning to lift my leg higher gregepperson.com/… This is a picture of what the guy's trying to do. The lead foot goes high, but also the hip opens out to the side (usually). It needs to be a slow, precise movement, or the lower foot will get knocked off the lower foothold. Its as much about developing flexibility in the hamstrings, hip flexors, and glutes as anything |

Learning to lift my leg higher I totally agree with @VPeric - that stretch you mention doing is good, but it really just stretches your glutes, I think. You'll also need flexible hamstrings and hip flexors for good high stepping. Look at these stretches: nicros.com/training/articles/… |

Learning to lift my leg higher Once you've placed a foot on a high hold, do you have issues rocking over onto it without your hips pushing you off the wall, or are your problems just with getting the foot on the hold in the first place? For me they always go hand & hand, and the answers below (developing stronger lliopsas) wouldn't fully improve my ability to use high footholds. |

I am skinny, would joining a gym make me skinnier? At this gym, are you going to be doing cardiovascular exercise, or weight lifting and strength training? Cardiovascular activities will tend to make you skinner, weight lifting and strength training will tend to make you bigger and stronger. |

is there any need to wear LANGOT(Loin Cloth) while doing gym workout I'm with @DForck42. I live in the US. This is not something American weight lifters do (don't wear this restrictive garment, and also don't go out of their way to wear briefs, or other tight underwear). I'm not the right person to write a bio-mechanical explaination of why they wouldn't help. If you want to avoid hernias, make sure that you're lifting appropriate amounts of weight. |

Crossfit Times MWF or TWTh off the top of my head, it would seem like 4 days off is long enough to slightly lose some conditioning, and 3 days back to back is so close that you might not get a chance to recover between workouts. Is that what you think you're experiencing? If so, then, no, its probably not in your head. :) |

Is it safe for high heart rate for extended periods? If you're really after medical advice about heart health and high intensity endurance training, you may need to go to a pure cycling forum, or a medical forum (or a doctor). :( The people on this site tend to be strength-training focused, and tend to give good answers on health and heavy weight lifting... I think your question falls a little outside of what the people here tend to be best at, but I may be wrong. |

Will squats/running/etc cause knee injury when we age? Any kind of exercise COULD cause an injury, and swimming is no different. With swimming, you tend to see more shoulder problems. |

Is it safe for high heart rate for extended periods? by 80%, he probably means 80% of his max heart rate, something like 150-170 beats per minute. Many cyclists would consider 110-120 to be a casual pace, and 170 or so a serious effort. |

Are there good cardio workouts which do NOT stress the knees? sure. unless you lived w/in 15 minutes of a body of water, it wouldn't work out for regular exercise. |

Are there good cardio workouts which do NOT stress the knees? but canoeing / kayaking may be a good idea |

Are there good cardio workouts which do NOT stress the knees? not to be argumentative, but I find that rowing machines aggravate my knee. maybe this isn't a common experience. |

What are the best exercises to have bigger/stronger arms but bold/firm hips and thighs? @MarcoLeblanc - no, I must have come off wrong. I wanted to re-assure her that no one here would encourage her to lose weight, if that's not what she wanted. My 2nd comment was a link to a general strength training Q&A. I meant to ask if that's what she was looking for, or had very specific body-builder-ish goals |
