Question: Cant get gas fitter back after he guaranteed his work for 1 year? I had my gas cooker fixed a couple of weeks ago. The fitter gave me a years guarantee with the work which he scribbled details on the handbook. The cooker has broke down again with the same problem, and the fitter seems to be making excuses and avoiding my calls. I urgently need it repaired as xmas is coming and won't have a cooker to cook the turkey. What can I do about this. Thank you in advance for any advice.

Answer: You could try giving GAS SAFE a call with his details, 0800 408 5577 ,advise them of the situation and they will be able to confirm he is registered to work on gas cookers and if he is (should be) they may well give him a bit of a nudge and if hes not registered he may well be in deep doodoo.

Question: Are workers who work in factory and construction sites more fitter and stronger than body builders? I have noticed workers who work in factory and construction sites who are way too lean, but super strong and solid ,they are seen lifting very heavy sacks, weights, do all those things that requires you to be fighting fit.They dont hit the gym like how normal do,yet they're naturally built and I'd even the labour they do makes then even more fitter and stronger than these so called "macho" body builders

Answer: I used to work construction for quite a while, but now I'm an analyst (i sit on my but all day). Back then my grip, forearms, and back were stronger than average. What I put in my mouth is what I could afford at highest calories (say no to empty calories like vegetables). And how much I ate may not be considered healthy, but at least I burned as much as I consumed. However I may have been able to pull a lot of weight, but I could hardly do more than 20 pushups. My physical strength was limited by my job function or specialization. I did the same thing repetitively all day - everyday. Barely got paid anything to enjoy a vacation or if I hurt myself I had keep on working. These days I strength train and watch what I eat to stay healthy and fit. I'd say I'm a lot healthier and all around stronger now then when I was in manual labor. I only workout 1-2 hours a day, I take a day off between workout days to recover and adapt. If I get hurt or sick I can take a week, two, or more to recuperate. And now I can afford to eat whatever I want, but I choose to eat healthy foods (which in many cases can be expensive, ie. fruit, fish, vegetables).

Question: How can I become fitter in health? I'm not very healthy, I'm not fat though, I'm quite skinny really. Anyway, just wondering how I can get fitter, any tips no matter how small, thank you.

Answer: Seems like a good question. It seems like you're not trying to gain or lose weight, but to strike for balance. Eat for the sake of calories and relieving the appetite. Something that can help you with this is preparing 2 cups of oatmeal on a regular basis and mixing a little more than a teaspoon of cinnamon with it, then eating it in portions throughout the day until it's finished. Also, grind fruits and vegetables into juices and drink them on a regular basis. It's a good idea to gather fruits and vegetables onto a big plate, and have that plate in the 'fridge. Whenever you get thirsty, you can take some out and juice them for the sake of relieving your thirst. Being thirsty may compel you to drink it more. Keep this up until the plate's empty, and then obviously relieve your thirst in other ways afterwards. Also drink coffee on a regular basis; you'll find that it provides certain health benefits. Different amounts obviously work for different people, so just see what suits you. Caffeine is an ingredient in certain weight loss pills. k, I'm done! ; )

Question: Can I gain stamina and become fitter by playing tennis? Since it's summer, I'm thinking about playing tennis with my friend 3 times a week for 2-3 hours each. However, when school starts again it will limit the time I have to play, since I have loads of exams and stuff, but could I do it 2 times a week for 4-5 hours or 4 times a week 1-2 hours? Will this help me build my stamina as I am very unfit? I have to get much fitter by June next year, as I'm doing my silver DofE.

Answer: Tennis is a very fun sport that, when played at an advanced level, is very physically demanding. However, if you are a beginner (playing less than a few years) it is unlikely that you will get as much exercise as someone who knows how to sustain a fast paced rally. Go ahead and play tennis. It is a lot of fun and will get you out and moving. But, if your primary goal is to get fit, spending a fraction of that time in the gym or running will be much more effective.

Question: What processes are involved when we become fitter? How, after a while are we able to run longer for a slower heart rate as opposed to when we first start training? Is it the production of more red blood cells,muscles becoming more efficient etc and if so why?

Answer: After you run you warm up your body, and slowly your body gets used to it, your muscles are more used to the pain. And you're building up muscles, losing fat, your body is in the process of slowly transacting into a more fit body. Not only does your muscles get stronger, but your heart does too. The more you run the harder you will run, thus leading to your heart working harder and pumping more blood with each pump.

Question: Is it true that men should avoid having a erect while wearing a fitter underwear? ? Normally, our penis erect to a upward position but it is force down by our underwear to a down position.Will this cause some hurt or damage especially with fitter underwear?

Answer: It depends on the age of the person. A young man having an erection can sustain damage resulting in Peyronies, or scarring of the cavernous tissues resulting in a bending of the penis. The reason is that the penis is still growing in a young man and is generally not as strong as a full grown adult. Often times, peyronies does not cause any problems unless its severe enough to prevent intercourse. Another possible complication is stretching of the cavernosus muscle, or muscles of erection. Too much downward force against an erect penis, again in a growing young man may stretch these muscles, causing erections to not point straight out or up. Instead, there will be a downward slope to the erection.

Question: How can I make myself fitter and healthier? Im 15, average weight for my height and I eat healthily but I don't get enough exercise.

What do you think is the best way to get my fitness back? Should I just throw myself into it and push myself or do I just take it steady at first?

Answer: take it steady, practice makes perfect. Your face going red it happens to all unfit people, it eventually goes when your stamina is up, you improve your stamina by running. You may start out a mile then eventually get better. You can practice on a treadmill on a gym or if you prefer running in the park. Have fun.

Question: Who do you think is fitter, a soldier or footballer ? Me and my cousin where talking, and i was saying how a footballer must be fitter, because all of the training they do 3-4 per week, and he said how soldiers are fitter because they train in endurance, and run with heavy back-packs ect. Does that mean that they are fitter, or just stronger ?

Answer: Soldiers, deffinately. While "footballers" have extremely high stamina and are great runners, they aren't very strong. Soldiers entire bodies are trained to the limit, they would destroy a soccer player in any sort of fitness event. They would to the same to pretty much any athlete in any sport.
