How to improve in shot put?
I'm a girl and I'm 5' 3" and weigh 140 so I'm on the smaller side of the people who throw shot. In practice we do things like bench (my max is 95), dead lift (max 200), thrusters (max 65). We'll also do circuts with box jumps, burpies, push ups, famers walks, planks.For warm ups we do a med ball workout and run stairs. I also play field hockey in the fall so I'm good at cardio.
In winter I pr'ed at 22 11, but shortly after I hurt my not throwing shoulder and couldn't do a lot of upper body work. I want to get to 26 by the end of the spring season, which is the end of May. Is there anything else I should be concentrating workout wise?
I use the glide to throw, so do you have any tips for that?
Thank you!
2 AnswersOther - Sports8 years agoMy Bunny won't come up to me?
If she does she'll sniff around but if I make a move to pet her she runs away. We'll play together and she lets me pick her up and play with her. But I need to pick her up if I want to pet her, she won't come up to me if she wants to be pet. I've had her for years and she's always been this way. Is there any issue with this or is she more of the lone ranger bunny type?
4 AnswersOther - Pets8 years agoShould I text him or not?
Me and this kid made out last saturday and I want to show that I'm interested in him but don't want to seem over eager. We're in the same friend group but I don't really see him a lot and when we do see each other we didn't say anything about it. So what do you think I should do?
5 AnswersSingles & Dating8 years agoPhysics: Why did my object not meet avg. acceleration due to gravity?
We dropped books onto motion sensors to measure the acceleration and the average acceleration was -9.35 m/s^2 but the accepted value should have been -9.8 m/s^2 due to gravity. What errors could cause this? It is not allowed to be the sensors or how the data was analyzed, or human error because the computer took care of everything.

1 AnswerOther - Sports9 years agoThinking of becoming an elementary school/special ed teacher?
I'm starting to think about what I want to do when I"m older (I'm a sophomore in high school now) and I'm thinking of becoming an elementary school teacher or a special ed teacher. What would either entail both class wise and emotionally? I babysit a lot and am a counselor at camps usually for kids under fourth grade. I really enjoy doing things with kids and more creative things. The only thing is I have ADHD so would that be a problem with keeping control of a class? Thank you!
2 AnswersTeaching9 years agoOld TV show about kids saving animals with a professor?
I have no clue what name the show is but here is what I do know for certain.
1) Kids (probably preteens )worked at a rescue center for animals
2) They worked with an old man and he wasn't very helpful.
3) It was on Saturday mornings (IN the tri state area it was channel 32 either 8 or 9 o clock)
4) It was on 5 or 6 years ago
5) I think it was Kritter or creature something
If you could answer this that would be great!

What is the Dutch song that when it comes on you're supposed to walk like a penguin with your hands at your sides. It gets from slow to fast near the middle and if you've gone to World Camp USA you've heard it. Here's a link of the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0Gsjk0ZHUg&feature...
Wat is het Nederlandse lied, dat wanneer het aankomt op je moet als een pinguïn wandeling met je handen langs je zij. Het wordt van langzaam naar snel in het midden en als je bent gegaan naar World Camp USA je hebt gehoord. Hier is een link van het lied: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0Gsjk0ZHUg&feature...
2 AnswersNetherlands10 years agoHelp with Community Service Ideas for Teens?
I have always wanted to to join the Girl Scouts of America, but my time has passed and now I am too old. And by too old I mean 15.6. I was wondering if there is anyone out there who can help me brainstorm ideas for amazing community service opportunites. I am bilingual if that is helpful in Korean and English. I enjoy being outside and working with animals but I am up for doing anything. I'd rather not be connected with a church for I want to do these things with my Jewish friend and I don't want to favor any certain relegion and alienate some people who may want to help my cause.
6 AnswersCommunity Service10 years agoWhat can I do to loosen tight calf muscles?
My entire leg is really tight, but the pain is mostly concentrated on my inner calfs, or scolus. I throw shot put, and as our warm ups we run a mile and a half, but I don't feel like thats enough to really cause this much pain.
I stretch and roll out before practice, roll out during, and stretch roll out and sometimes get an ice bath/whirlpool afterwards. The trainers told me to roll out and stretch, but its been about a month with no progress. I've been doing some things with LAX balls to target specific areas that hurt and they seem to help for a short while, but then the pain returns no matter how long I do the exercises for.
Trainers have told me that my muscles are tight enough that they are messing with bone placement and causing my knees and ankles to disalign slightly. Is there anything anyone can think of that I can try to do or fix to make them better?

My friend's arm hurts for no reason. He hasn't been jousting recently or doing anything strenuous. So if any of you intelligent people out there have any clue to what it is, take a stab. Or you could just say anything, I really don't care.

I'm doing a project on rites of passages, and I was going to do death as one of them. I know that some places in Africa custom coffins are made to reflect what the deceased liked when they were alive. If you could point me towards one of those cultures that would be awesome. Also, if you know any other rites of passage that would be cool too!!!

16 AnswersPolls & Surveys1 decade agoWhy do my knees hurt so much?
I started field hockey this past fall, everyday after school. After a month and a half my knees started to kill during practice and (I know this might be stupid) I kept on running. For the rest of the season I would come home with ice for both of my knees. Now when ever I run or walk around a lot they start to hurt, and yesterday after walking about a mile and playing basketball my knee gave out. My dad says I will get over it though. Do you agree?
