Answer:

The muscles that the personal trainer would expect to be shortened are Sternocleidomastoid and pectoralis major. The right answer is Option A.

Explanation:

While assessing one's posture, if a person has protracted shoulders and a forward head, then the trainer focuses on working on the sternocleidomastoid and pectoralis major muscles. The former is one of the largest superficial cervical muscles which helps in the rotation of the head to the opposite side and flexion of the neck. The latter is responsible for shoulder joint movement. At first, it causes flexion of the humerus like lifting a child. Secondly, it adducts the humerus like when one flaps his/her arms. Working on these muscles helps to correct the posture of the concerned person.

Do you have to be Indian to practice Ayurvedic medicine?
vichka [17]
Hey there! Hello!

So, I actually find myself to be pretty keen on this topic, since my grandmother is an Ayurvedic practitioner and owns her own massage/Ayurvedic center. She also has a school in the state of Florida that teaches others how to be licensed Ayurvedic practitioners, as well!

Ayurvedic medicine has all kinds of forms, from herbal blends to essential oils that can either be formulated to a particular person or can be purchased by general dosha (kapha, vata, pitta, or tri-doshic). My family is caucasian and was born in America, and we have no Indian roots (that I know of). One thing that's recommended (and in some cases, required) is that someone who practices Ayurvedic medicine be trained and have a license to assure that no misuse of herbs/oils will take place, since they can sometimes conflict with any prescribed medicine someone receives from the doctors, or with things like pregnancy. Though I don't know which school, my grandmother did receive her Ayurvedic education here in America. 

Anyone who wants to learn more about Ayurveda in general should, at the very least, have an appreciation for it. The person does not necessarily have to be Indian, or any ethnicity in particular, to enjoy and respect Ayurveda and what it has to offer. My grandmother is one of these people who appreciates it, which is why she went to school to learn how to teach others about it. 

I hope this helped you out! Feel free to ask me any additional questions if you have any. :-)

Solve the simultaneous equations 5x+y=8 and 5x+5y=7.​
kaheart [24]
The system would equal (1.65,-0.25)

You can use substitution for this. But first we need to put one of the equations into the value of y or x. We can use 5x+y=8 and solve for the value of y. Subtract 5x on both sides and you’ll get the value of y which will look like y=-5x+8.

Next substitute in y for 5y in 5x+5y=7 so that you get 5x+5(-5x+8)=7. Next distribute and you’ll get 5x-25x+40=7, add like terms and you’ll get -20x+40=7. Next you want to subtract by 40 on both sides and you’ll get -20x=-33. Isolate x by dividing by -20 on both sides and you’ll get x=33/20 or 1.65.

Next that you have the x value solve for y by plugging in 1.65 for x in 5x+y=8 and you’ll get 5(1.65)+y=8, distribute and subtract 8.25 on both sides and it will leave you with y=-0.25.

vredina [299]

Answer:

Once a year

Explanation:

Many people go get an annual physical. Going only when you feel sick will not show your overall health and the changes in your body. It is not needed to go to the doctor's twice a year unless you are immunocompromised, once a year will suffice.
