How can i prevent upper lip lines from appearing?
Q. I am a smoker and i know that some women who smoke develop upper lip wrinkles from their 30's. I want to avoid this while continuing to smoke. Any tips?
Asked by Katie - Sun Nov 16 03:04:07 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. You know the answer, stop smoking. If you can't, wash your face every night and use the best moisturizer your $ can buy. How old are you? Are you taking care of your neck? Many girls, including myself, didn't pay attention to the neck area and down between the boobies, cleavage area and now if you sun bathe or just out in the sun, you will probably look like a chicken. I'm not trying to be mean or anything, but trying to prevent others to looking twice their age. I've been taking care of my neck and I'm preventing more wrinkles, but I have some lines, which give my age away every time!

How can i improve my upper body strength strong?
Q. I've joined a gym and decided i want to improve my upper body strength. I am not bothered about being well toned. I was wondering how i can achieve my goal. I've heard some people say "lift a lot of small weights" and some say the opposite, "lift few heavy weights". Another question i have is; if i need to lift few weights 8-12 times with a gap of 60secs (which is what i've been doing), how many times do i need to do 8-12 reps per day? Thanks in advance.

A. best thing to do if your starting out is do 3 sets of 8-12 reps, but on the last few reps in each set it should be hard to do, you shouldn't be able to get 13+ reps or you need to up the weight. after a while you can change your work out but you don't need to. You always want to do 3 sets but doing fewer reps is for getting strength, like 3-5 reps but your last rep you should almost not be able to lift it at all, use a spotter, doing more reps is for toning, like 15+ and with those you can be able to do a few more when you stop

What is the physiology behind upper back pain from sitting behind a desk for long periods of time?
Q. What is happening to the upper back when this happens? And why does stretching sometimes make it worse?
Asked by 1 - Fri May 9 03:27:04 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The weight of your arms are pulling forward on your shoulders and creating a strain on your upper back. Push your shoulders back and stretch your arms behind you as the other answer says every little while. Stand up and walk around for a few minutes also helps. You are changing the posture at this point giving your back and shoulders a few minutes rest.
