EXERCISE (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Can it be problematic to do only one kind of exercise?
Answer: Yes.
If I'm not sweating do I need to work harder?
Answer: Depends.
Long said the main components of a well-rounded workout would include aerobic exercise, strength training and flexibility training. For example, if someone only lifts weights or only does yoga, his or her heart is neglected and never gets above a moderate zone of heart rate. In turn, if a person only does aerobic exercise, he or she is extremely prone to injury from pressure.
"It's really important to just have a balance in all the things we do," she said.
Long said certain workouts, such as yoga, didn't necessarily get a person sweating very much, but were still very effective for the body.
"It depends on what your goals are," he said. "But I do think it's a good idea to have some of each of those things."
Zabel said it was OK to focus on a particular kind of exercise. For example, runners can focus mainly on endurance workouts, but it's still a good idea to include other components for the best results.
"There are a lot of things you can do that don't require a ton of sweat," she said. "Yoga's a great example because you're using your body weight — great for flexibility and great for strength."
This being said, Long and Zabel are working up a sweat during a workout is a good thing. Zabel said this was more crucial for college-aged individuals. Compared to his usual patients, who range from 50- to 80-years-old, young people need to have slightly more challenging workouts to get
the benefits of exercise.
"College kids probably need to be doing more than a walk," he said. "You've got to work up a sweat or you're not working hard enough. That's basically the bottom line."
Once you stop working out, does muscle turn into fat?
Answer: No.
Zabel said this misconception was born out of people losing muscle mass and gaining weight after they'd significantly decreased or stopped exercise. This does not mean the muscle has been turned to fat. Rather, the body takes time to adjust its hunger.
"It's not that the muscle is converted to fat—that really doesn't
happen," he said. "But you will lose muscle mass, and if you don't cut down your caloric intake, you will get fat."
Longsai those who stopped strength training would rapidly start losing muscle mass after about three weeks. For this reason, guys who have gotten
oigger with muscle will get smaller, and women, who don't have as much size to gain from muscle initially, will start to "soften."
Will weightlifting make you bulk up? Answer: Depends
Answer: Depends.
The chances of bulking up all rest on gender. For men, heavy weightlifting will make them bigger and more muscular. For women, it would take years of the same kind of weightlifting to actually get bigger.
"Women don't really possess this magical hormone called testosterone at high enough levels to actually build bulk." Lone said.
For women who still had fears of getting bigger. Long suggested weightlifting with moderate weight and higher repetitions. This would have a toning effect instead of a bulking effect. She said it was still important for women to push themselves in these repetitions.
"We still have to challenge our muscles in terms of load," she said. "Five pounds is probably not going to be applicable for our larger muscles." For students interested in learning how to get started in the weight room, the Recreation Center is holding a workshop called "Women on Weights" on Dec. 2.
Does muscle weigh more than fat?
Answer: Yes
"People need to not perseverate on what they weigh," he said. "It's really about how much of their body is fat, which I think people can tell pretty easily by pinching themselves."
A more technical method of learning how much fat you have is through the body fat pinch test. This process can be done alone.

Zabel said this was one reason for people to pay more attention to their waistlines rather than the scale.
Is it
worthless to stretch before your muscles have been warmed up? Yes
Answer: Yes.
Long compared cold muscles to rubber bands—very elastic when stretched, but immediately pulling back together. When warm, the muscles actually lengthen and hold that length. For this reason, she said it was important to warm up the muscles before stretching so they'd already be lengthened and less prone to injury.
"We run the risk of actually causing injury because our muscles are not pliable enough yet—they don't have enough blood flow. So they're actually at more risk to tear," she said.
Walking, jogging, or dynamic stretching, which involves rhythmic, gentle movements, can all be used to warm up the muscles before a workout.
Long suggested doing static stretching, which involves holding one position for 10 to 30 seconds, at the end of a workout.
Can you get a six-pack by doing a lot of crunches every day?
Answer: No.
Zabel said people couldn't control where they burned fat. Fat-burning exercises, mostly cardio workouts, burned calories from everywhere in the body. So, although doing crunches every day will make abdominal muscles bigger and stronger, it will not get rid of the layer of fat covering those muscles. It's not how the body works.
Zabel said the body absorbed fat indiscriminately from all fat storages, as if it was one pool. To achieve muscle definition in one area, Zabel suggested focusing on that particular strength resistance in that muscle group, while also doing cardio to burn the fat that covers it.
"You have to burn away the fat with aerobic exercise and then you can do the toning exercises to make certain parts of the body look good," he said. "But no one looks ripped if they've got too much fat because you just can't see the muscles."

RUDD (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
The screening was followed by a Q&A session with Rudd, in which he presented a new message. He emphasized the greater effectiveness of political organization rather than the violence his group had previously endorsed.
"We had the wrong idea," Rudd said. "We went from good organizing on campus, to bad organizing with militancy, to worse organizing with The Weather Underground."
Rudd said his tactics had been too stubborn and self-assured. He said real organizing was "going to people that disagree and starting a dialogue."
Rudd's first visit to the University 40 years ago filled the Kansas Union Ballroom to its 1,000 person capacity. Friday's visit gathered close to 60 people, many of whom were old enough to have attended the first event. Even so, Rudd made an effort to reach out to the younger members of the crowd. He initially refused questions from anyone
When Rudd turned himself in, the charges were dropped because of the FBI's questionable investigation in which they kidnapped people to gather evidence.
This was certainly not his approach while running from the FBI from 1970 to 1977. He was wanted on charges of bombing and conspiracy.
A year later he moved to Albuquerque and became a math teacher at Central New Mexico Community College where he taught until 2007.

Considering similarities between today and Rudd's college days — unpopular war, economic hardship, national discontent — Rudd laid out what he considered to be three essential differences:
No draft means no reason to pay attention. Without the looming threat of involuntary military service, no one cares.
--have no model. Rudd and his comrades took their cue from the civil rights movement they grew up with.
Entertainment culture has intellectually infantilized students, meaning the focus on keeping entertained has dulled interest in more serious areas.
"We went from good organizing on campus, to bad organizing with militancy to worse organizing with The Weather Underground."
Reanna Putnam, Salina junior and event coordinator for the ECM, reinforced that last sentiment in her one criticism of the talk

Michael Huslig, her husband of 29 years, said one of the first things he noticed about his wife was how her enthusiasm showed in the way she would use her hands to express herself when she talked.
"She was happy and cheerful," Michael said. "She was always eager to help others."
Huslig was a member of a knitting group at the Yarn Barn for nearly 17 years. The group's instructor, Bonnie Byers, said Huslig had an positive personality.
"No matter how hard her life was going, whether it was a personal issue or health related, she would never complain," Byers said.
Byers said that although Huslig could be a private and quiet person, she had a knack for making her friends laugh and always told interesting stories about her travels.
Huslig was born into an Air Force family and spent much of her childhood growing up in Europe. Her husband said German was her first language. After she graduated
