Problem: Article: Have a partner help you slide your new tub into place. Feed the drain shoe into the hole in the floor, and set the rest of the tub down. Make sure the tub is level one more time before securing it to the wall. Make sure the tub is in full contact with the floor so the ledger boards aren’t supporting the full weight. Use screws or nails that are 2–3 in (5.1–7.6 cm) long to secure the tub flange to the the studs. Work slowly so you don’t accidentally crack your tub. Put 1 nail or screw into each stud to keep it in place. Access your pipes from the hole you cut in the room adjacent to your bathtub. Use a pipe wrench to tighten the drain shoe to the P-trap until it’s completely secure. Squeeze a ring of silicone sealant around the pipe and P-trap for another layer of protection from leaks. If the faucet had a screw, put the faucet back on with a screwdriver and turn it clockwise. If the faucet screwed off by itself, twist it back on by hand and use a pipe wrench to secure the faucet in place completely. Let the sealant on your tub dry for 1 day so it’s completely set. Turn the water valve back on and let it fill the tub. Listen for any dripping noises and watch for any noticeable leaks near your drain or on your pipes. If you find any leaks, use more sealant around the leaking area. Check the drain shoe from the access panel you cut earlier so see if any water is leaking underneath your tub. Cut the pieces of drywall to the sizes of your gaps with a reciprocating saw. Hold the piece of drywall or backerboard against the studs so it covers the flange and there’s a 1⁄4 in (0.64 cm) gap between the board and the tub. Use nails to secure the boards in place.  Drywall or backerboard can be purchased from your local hardware store. Don’t forget to install new drywall on the access panel you cut out from the other room. If you’re using tiles, mix tile mortar in a bucket based on the instructions on the packaging. Stir the mortar with a flat trowel and spread it on the drywall. Press the tiles onto the backerboard and hold it in place for 30 seconds. Use tiles that match the existing ones in your bathroom. Otherwise, you’ll have to retile the entire wall. For a fiberglass surround, set the entire piece in place so it covers the tub flange. Drive screws with an electric screwdriver into the divots along the sides and top of the surround so it’s secured to the studs. Once you’ve secured the tiles to the backerboard, place a thin bead of silicone around the bottom of the of the tiles to fill in the gap. Put the tip of the sealant dispenser into the gap, and pull the line slowly so it applies smoothly. Wipe any excess sealant away with your finger.
Summary: Slide the new tub in place so the flanges rest on the ledger boards. Screw or nail the tub into the studs. Connect the drain shoe to the pipes. Reattach the faucet. Fill the tub and test for leaks the day after it’s installed. Cover the exposed studs and flange with drywall or cement backerboard. Replace the surround. Seal the gap between the tile and tub with silicone sealant.

Problem: Article: Cardio exercises, like using the stair master, can help build the muscles around your hips and butt.  Incorporating the stair master as a form of cardio can help increase the size of your hips.  Studies have shown that the stair master recruits about 24% of your glutes and hip muscles. Use the stair master 1-2 times a week for at least 30 minutes per session. To make this exercise more challenging and target your hips and butt, lean forward when stepping and do not hold onto the side rails.  This forces your body to use your butt muscles more significantly. Also take large steps - almost as if you were taking two at a time.  This actives a large portion of those muscles. Another cardio machine that can help tone your butt, hips and increase the size of your hips is the elliptical.  It gives you the opportunity to really work those muscles.  The elliptical machine recruits about 36% of your butt and hip muscles.  This is slightly more than the stair master. Use the elliptical for at least 30 minutes.  However, to get a well rounded workout, try doing 15 minutes of the stair master plus 15 minutes on the elliptical. To help target your hip and butt muscles, really focus on pressing down your foot, heel first.  Also ease your hips backwards a bit, so that your butt is popping out a bit.  This position helps specifically target those muscles. Running is a great cardio exercise.  In general, it's a great way to target your butt and hips.  However, using a treadmill allows you to use the incline function making this machine a great way to increase your hip size.  Walking or jogging on the treadmill recruits the highest amount of your hip and butt muscles - almost 50%. Walk or jog on the treadmill for at least 30 minutes.  Again, doing a combination of multiple cardio exercises can help work your butt and hips in different ways giving a better overall workout. To really target those hips, increase the incline on your treadmill.  This places more stress on your glutes and hips and also give your bottom half more definition. Another option is to walk sideways on a treadmill. Set the treadmill on an incline and start at a slow pace. Cross your legs over one another to walk sideways. This will give your hips the tension they need to induce muscle growth. If you want to burn a lot of calories while toning your hips, consider taking a spin class.  It's a great exercise to help strengthen and tone your hips, butt and thighs.  Spin classes recruit many of the muscles around your hip and butt.  The up and down positioning and varying resistances help make this a great exercise to increase your hip size. To help really target those hips, sit farther back on the bike seat and really focus on pushing down hard on those pedals.  You may even want to increase the resistance. If you're in a standing position on your bike, really stick your butt out far behind you.  This position is another one that will require you to stabilize your body with your butt and hip muscles. Your exercise plan should include at least one day of rest per week, to prevent plateaus and give your body time to recover. Mix up your workouts and their intensity to keep yourself motivated.
Summary:
Use the stair master. Hop on the elliptical. Walk or jog on the treadmill. Take a spin class. Give yourself time for recovery.
