Ben Asked: Is my ankle sprained; this just happened today?

I was at the beach with some friends, and there was a creek. We were daring each other to jump from one side of the creek to the other (it wasn't that big of a gap, neither was it too high). But one ledge was higher than the other. So I took the dare and jumped, and landed feet first or ankle first on the other side, and I made it across the creek by jumping. Right away, my ankle started hurting. I could barely walk, but my friends helped me up. I was limping for the next 5 minutes, and then I started trying jog it off . The pain eased, but was still there. When I got home, the pain became worse again. I don't think it's swollen yet, but when I practice my two – point football stance like I do every day, and I can only get halfway down. And I can't help but jog awkwardly. Is this a mild sprain or something less serious?

Ben Asked: Poll; how often do you exercise?

for me i jog every morning, go to the gym 3 times a week and i am a coach at a football club which is once a week.
just wondering how much other people do?

Ben Asked: I really like this girl in my dorm BUT..?

So we are both 20 and i really like her, she told me that she wanted to get some ice-cream yesterday so i said i would take her if she did some study, so she quickly ran off to her room to study. a few hours later i went to her room looking like a sharp mf, then she mentioned that her friend wasn't far away and she had her friends key to get in, so we waited and then her 2 mates arrived and she was like is it ok if they come along. I was like "yeah sure" so anyway, TIMEJUMP she calls shotgun and sits in the front and we have some good banter on the way to ice-cream. TIMEJUMP sitting round eating ice cream her friends start to embarrass her about a guy who buys her drinks etcthe whole time she gives me nervous glances, obviously quite embarrassed. TIMEJUMP back to the dorm we hang out for a bit (her friends, her and me) and then we decide to watch some how i met your mother in the common room til 1. I make her laugh a couple of times but i think she is just friendly. Im going to take her to see titanic on saturday but i wouldn't be suprised if her friends came along, i just feel like ive blown it and the fact her friends were teasing her about this other guy makes me feel my chances may be low! thanks for reading!!

Ben Asked: How to spy on MY home webcam?

I'm hoping that my roomate isn't lying to me about using my computer while im at work. I would like to be able to monitor my house stealthily by being able to view images from my webcam on my desktop and having those images sent either to my laptop or preferrably to my iPhone.

The problem with most software I've seen so far is that they are not stealthy. They all seem to have icons in the task bar showing that they are running or else show pop-ups anytime they get activated.

Hell, I'll be happy even just knowing that my roomate is attempting to use my webcam for his own purposes.

Any ideas for a stealthy webcam viewer??

Ben Asked: When I open a window on google chrome, it closes my browser out and reopens it in Internet Explorer.

Any time I go to a webpage, It closes my browser and reopens it on Internet Explorer. Google chrome is my default browser, and I have ran Mcafee scan and Maleware bytes and CCleaner.

Why would my computer be doing this?

Ben Asked: Can I pass my beep test?

Basically I have my fitness test in 3 weeks today where I need to achieve a level of 9.10 on the beep test. I have done this test many times since Iv been in the forces and never failed. Did a practice one during organised Physical Training during Jan and got to 9.2 before I was absolutely ruined. Although the whole of level 8 was a huge struggle.

My fitness test day is 16th March and I have hit the gym every week night for about 2 weeks and will continue to do so until the test date, but not the night before allowing my body 24 hours to recover.

Went down to the gym last night and only managed level 8. Maybe the factors that it was 10pm and I had been up since 7am, also the fact I was on my own (no one to get in a rythm with and no competition) didn't help the situation. Also did around the around the world run on the treadmill the night before.

Problem is I usually do circuit training for about 45 mins every monday and have been missing out on that because of other arrangments on that day. So since my last test I haven't been doing that. Maybe playing the odd game of 5 a side footy on a friday.

Do you think this is do-able to get to 9.10 by 3 weeks time (16th March)? What would be the best training? Practicing the beep test? Jogging on treadmill for 60 secs followed by sprint for 30 secs continually?

Any help by anyone who knows what they are talking about or in the same situation would be greatly appreciated…Thanks

Ben Asked: Weight loss & Diet questions?

I'm currently 15 and 7months old. Weigh 87kg (it varies between 86.5-88kg during the day) and I'm 6ft tall (182cm) and my BMI is 25-25.5 (A healthy BMI is 18.5-25).

So, basically i'm considered overweight (obviously) and my goal weight is 80-82kg, when I started my weigh loss journey about 2months ago I weighed in at 96kg, so I have lost about 10kg so far
Anyway, i'm getting a bit concerned more recently.

Basically, when I started it was holidays I was going to the gym between 2-4 times a week and eating about 1200-1700 calories a day, that routine lasted about 4weeks. I shed 7kg in those 4weeks.

Anyway as school started up I couldn't go to the gym (It's free in the holidays) so I started doing very minor and basic workouts at home (like pushups and bicep curls for about 20minutes) and i'm still doing about 30 pushups a day (just for long turn toning) and i'm eating a normal-ish diet, staying away from fastfoods and high calorie snacks, still only drinking water (apart from protein meal replacements and fruit/vegetable smoothies).

Because i'm trying to settle down into a normal lifestyle I have been consuming about 2100-2500 calories a day, and i'm doing pre-season football training (so far I have had it once, it was a 6km run and it was very painful) and I have been doing very small jogs (about 1-1.5kms)

Anyway, about 10days ago I weighed in at 86.2kg and I have been weighing myself every morning and I'm weighing in at 87-87.5kg?

I don't know what i'm doing. I'm not over eating and I am doing frequent enough excersize to NOT be gaining any weight, from experience I should still be losing weight but very minimal amounts, (I have kind of stepped off the pedal a bit because I know that during football season I will shed alot more weight).

Anyway if you guys have ANY ideas about my issue of random weight gain I will be grateful for any responses! Please DO NOT advertise your weight loss sites here!
THANKS FOR READING ALL THAT!!
