Article: Consider putting together a basic routine to boost your fitness level. Whether or not you have access to a gym, start with the basics at home: push-ups, pull-ups, sit-ups and, if you have access to weights, basic squats, curls, and bench presses.  If you’re not sure of where to begin—what exercises to include in your routine, what weights to lift, etc.—talk to your gym coach or check online for teen weight-training recommendations. Before each workout, start with about 10 minutes of mild stretches. Warming up helps prevent injury and can help to maximize the calories burnt during your entire workout.  Similarly, if you take the time to taper off your workout with cooling-down stretches you will feel less taxed when you are done. Over time, if you find that you enjoy running, think about joining a cross country team. Find a friend who also wants to be active during the week and exercise with them. You can also ask members of your family (siblings, cousins, even parents) if they’d like to exercise with you. It’ll be easier to stay motivated to be fit if you have a friend or family member to exercise with and who can provide moral support. Having a friend to support you will make you more likely to stick with your exercise regime.

Problem: Article: Breathe out as you normally would, then use your dominant hand to put the mouthpiece to your lips. Close your lips around the mouthpiece and let your tongue rest in the bottom of your mouth to keep it from blocking the mouthpiece. With the mouthpiece in your mouth, take a slow, deep breath in. There is a yellow piston or ball inside the column that will rise as you inhale. The goal is to make the piston or ball rise to the level indicated by the slider or marker. If you can’t inhale deep enough to move the piston or ball to the recommended level, don’t get discouraged. As you continue to use the incentive spirometer, your lung function will improve. Once the indicator has reached the desired level, hold your breath for as long as possible. Try to aim for at least 10 seconds. During this time, the piston or ball will slide back down toward the base. After holding your breath as long as you can, slowly exhale through your mouth into the incentive spirometer. You can then remove the mouthpiece and rest for a few seconds. If your doctor has given you specific instructions on how often to use the incentive spirometer, be sure to follow them exactly. Otherwise, aim for using the device 10 times per hour. Don’t forget to rest for a few seconds in between breaths to prevent lightheadedness. After using the device the recommended number of times, try to cough a few times. Coughing will help clear any fluid or mucus from your lungs and make breathing easier.
Summary: Exhale and place your mouth around the mouthpiece. Inhale through your mouth until the piston reaches the marker. Hold your breath for as long as you can. Exhale through your mouth, then rest for a few seconds. Repeat 10 times per hour or as often as your doctor recommends. Cough to clear your lungs when you are finished.

This can be gold, copper, or silver wire. Measure the wire using a ruler, or do a rough estimate and cut roughly 3 inches (7.6 cm) without measuring. If in doubt, make the piece of wire longer as opposed to shorter—you can always trim off the ends if necessary.  The thickness and exact color of the wire is entirely up to you, but thinner wire is best as it allows you to easily manipulate it. Look for artistic wire at a craft or hardware store that comes in a small spool, as these are most often used for making jewelry. Flatten out the wire after it’s cut. Straightening it out will make the wire easier to work with. How many dents you create is up to you—space them out evenly or make the dents super close together so the ring appears to have stripes, if desired. Hold the wire steady in one hand and use your dominant hand to create small dents with round nose pliers. This is a great way to add style and a unique quality to your ring. Instead of using the pliers to make indentations in the wire, use them to bend the wire in different directions. As you hold the wire firmly in one hand, use the pliers to bend down on the wire. Continue by then bending the next section of wire upwards, switching back and forth between downwards and upwards motions to create a wave along the wire. If desired, you can make small indentations along the wire before creating a ripple effect as well. Pick out a few beads that you’d like to use on your ring, making sure they have a hole in them so they can slide down the wire. Once you’ve added the beads to the wire, create bends in the wire on both sides of the beads so that the beads stay in place.  For example, you might pick out one larger bead to be set in the middle of two smaller, identical beads. Pick out super tiny beads that can be strung along the entire wire if you want your ring to be completely beaded. After you’ve made your dents or ripples and added any beads, position the wire around a nail polish bottle handle. This will resemble your finger, letting you bend the ring into shape.  If you don’t have a nail polish bottle to use, look for a different perfectly round, ring-sized object to wrap the wire around. Using hard objects, as opposed to just your finger, is better for creating the ring shape as it ensures your ring is perfectly round. Place the wire around your finger once it’s rounded, checking to see where it needs to be cut so that it fits your finger perfectly. Mark where the wire ends should be cut using a marker. Trim the wire right where you made your markings. If desired, wash the marker off of the wire using soap and water, or use acetone if you used a permanent marker. Use a nail file to sand the edges of the wire so that they aren’t sharp anymore, making your ring more comfortable and safe. Once the sharp edges of your ring have been filed down, the ring is ready to wear! You can also bend the very tips of the wire backwards using pliers so that they’re not poking your finger, if desired.
