  • Controlling breathing rate while exercising?

    I've been looking for some sort of activity to increase my lung capacity or SOMETHING that will help me be able to exercise at a higher rate. I've played hockey since I was 6, and at 17 I consider myself physically in shape, but I've had a really hard time breathing when working out or playing hockey. My leg strength and arm strength outweigh my breathing rate tenfold. My problem comes when running or anything with endurance, my breathing is almost impossible to be controlled. My legs and the rest of my body never get tired, but I'm always out of breath early in, making it hard to exercise. Is there anything I can do to help with this problem?

  • What kind of keyboards are used to make hip hop/pop/rap beats?

    I'm not really looking for something like a Gangsta rap sound or similar sounds. I'm mainly looking for a more chill/mellow beat, kind of like the ones used in Mac Miller songs (Yeah, he may be a tool sometimes, but damn are the beats simple yet great) , especially if somebody could identify the keyboard used in this beat Here:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detail...

    Of course I don't consider myself to be some great producer or something, but I've always loved music, and I'd just like a general idea of what the professionals use.

    Thanks

  • Could I make a AA/AAA hockey team?

    Im 16 and a sophomore in high school. I've played hockey since I was 6. I started out playing roller hockey and 2 years ago I made the jump to ice hockey. In my first year I played with the U-18 A team in my area just due to awareness in general. And I did alright. Made a lot more assists than i did goals haha. But last year I was voted the captain of the U-16 A team in my second year. I was probably in the top 2 of fastest of the team, which is alright. But I'm 6'2" and my awareness and physical play was kind of the determining factor. But I really want to move up and I want to find out what it takes, I've always wanted to play at the AA/AAA level and I was just wondering what people think about my chances? and what are some suggestions for getting in shape or for making an impact at tryouts?

  • Important academic advice?

    Im 15, im taking an AP honors biology course at my school, but the problem is, that my grade is starting to drop, i make 85-100 on all of the classwork, but when it comes to the tests, i always end up making a very low grade and it pulls my grade down. But, In all of my regular Honors classes i keep an A-A+ avg. and I feel that i do very well in those classes. But the problem comes in when i add Hockey to the situation. I am currently playing in an A league due to financial issues, but i practice 4 times a week during mon-thur. I have been repeatedly told that i should try out at skills showcases and tryouts for major AA (possible AAA) teams in the area. And i cant see anywhere in my life where my career isnt somehow tied to the sport, whether it be in the junior or major it doesn't really matter to me. I just want to be able to do what I've done since i was 7. But my main question is that if i only take Honors and not AP classes, will i still be able to find my way into a good college? I always want to have a backup plan in case something goes wrong, and i want to earn a degree, not sure what it would be in yet, but I just want the extra choices. I really want to be able to go to a college like University of Denver so i can be with my other side of the family, or anywhere the mid-northwestern region to be honest. Thanks for the advice guys :D

  • calf cramping during sleep?

    it seems as if almost every night I'll wake up and have severe cramping in my calf muscle out of nowhere. I've had a few of them so badly that i could feel it for the rest of the day during school and i'd have sort of a limp. And it seems like right before it cramps up that i twitch my leg uncontrollably, is there any sort of explanation or fix?

  • could i play AAA hockey?

    i started playing hockey at 5 for my local roller rink because at the time i didnt know about the ice rink about an hour away. im now 15 and just finished playing my first year of ice hockey. i was a phenom when it came to roller hockey, but the transition was a pain in the ***, but through out the year i started to get some of my skills i had before. i currently play for a B/A team, and my coach says that i have the best hockey "sense" or "awareness" of the entire team, but i just have to work on my skills. i have an ok shot. im not very flashy with puck handling, but i can keep it in my possession longer than most. and i've always had the dream of being scouted and going to a good hockey college or playing junior hockey. i just wanted to know my chances of possibly making an AAA team. and if possible PLEASE give some advice on how to prepare for something like this.

  • How can i start a Roller hockey team at my high school?

    Well, i live in NC and there's not many rinks around here. In fact, the nearest ICE hockey rink is about 30 some miles away, but there is a roller rink 15 minutes from my school. I want to start a roller hockey team for my school, which has never been done before. But i need to know where to start, i know many people who would be for the cause. I also have sponsors set up that i think would be able to fund some of it (Jerseys/Gas) because some of them also sponsor the roller hockey league nearby. Not to mention they could charge to get in which could be split between schools. i just need to know where to start!

  • Xbox360 problems....?

    my xbox 360 has recently been experiencing some strange problems. and its not one consistent problem, it seems to be changing as in it will...

    -Turns on but the screen will go completely green and stay that way

    -Turns on and the xbox360 logo will stay on screen and wont load the home page

    -Turns on but controllers will not connect

    -Attempts to turn on then has the red ring of death

    -Will freeze in the middle of games

    -The screen will go black while playing games

    and the problems have just appeared in the last week and the xbox has worked fine until then. and i do have an intercooler attached to it. so i dont think that it is because of overheating
