Article: When you're not getting ready to go out anywhere, put on clothes that are suitable for exercising. They'll keep exercise at the forefront of your mind and may encourage you to work a little harder. Wearing workout clothes also means if you have 5 or 10 minutes to do a short workout, you're ready to go. Instead of putting a milk carton straight into the fridge, use it as a weight and do a few bicep curls, or lift it over your head a few times. Switch and do the same thing with the other arm to prevent muscle imbalances. Canned goods are also good for doing bicep curls or straight-arm lifts with a little resistance. Hold a can in each hand, then extend your arms out to your sides even with your shoulders. Lower your arms down to your sides on an exhale, then raise back up as you inhale. Do 10 repetitions. You can also extend your arms in front of you and do forward lifts. Whether you're working on your computer or watching television, get up and move around for 5 to 10 minutes for every hour you sit. Pace around the room, or do 10-20 jumping jacks.  If you're watching TV, get up and do quick exercises such as jumping jacks, push-ups, or crunches during commercials. If you invest in a stability ball (available online or at sporting goods stores), sitting on that instead of on your couch while watching TV is a good way to passively strengthen your core. During commercials you could do stability ball exercises. Sweeping, vacuuming, dusting, even making the bed all burn calories. Play some energetic music and increase your intensity to really get your heart rate up. Not only will you get in a little exercise, you'll also maintain a clean home.  For example, you can burn between 200 and 300 calories cleaning your bathroom. Plus, scrubbing the tub is a great way to tone your arms and shoulders. Just 30 minutes of making the bed will burn 130 calories – about what you'd burn if you ran on a treadmill for 15 minutes. If you spend time on the phone, you can use that time to get in a little exercise. Invest in a hands-free headset if you don't already have one, and pace around the room as you talk. Many smart phones have built-in activity apps that will also monitor your step count. Use these to see how many steps you're getting in each day. Try to add a few hundred steps each week to gradually become more active. Set a goal for how many steps you want to achieve, then challenge yourself to meet or beat that goal. Dancing can be an intense cardiovascular workout that gets your heart rate up and your blood pumping. Use slower songs to warm up, then switch to some faster-paced dance music. You can also play music videos from sites such as Vimeo and YouTube and try to mimic the dancers in the videos. But you don't have to be a professional dancer to have fun moving to the music and improving your overall fitness at the same time.

Article: One of the most basic tips to get greater distance is to anchor (firmly press into the ground) your foot and your body behind the ball. The foot you must anchor is the foot that is behind the ball. For right handed players it will be the right foot, and the left foot for left handed players. If you lift your foot too soon when swinging the club you will lose power and distance in the shot. If you can’t touch your elbow to your hip, at least keep your arm close to your hip. By keeping the right arm close to the hip, you ensure the body will drive your arms and club through the ball impact. This will decrease the chances of your hands negatively influencing the shot. Keep your left arm close to your hip if you’re left-handed. Relax and keep your grip light. At the top of your backswing, make a slight pause and maintain a light grip through the swing. To keep a light grip, relax the muscles in your forearms and also your fingers. If you do this, you will create a faster, brisker swing release through the ball impact. This will result in a longer drive. Take deep, even breaths to help relax. By energetically rotating you hips on the downswing you will bring your core muscles into play. This will increase club head speed, and therefore will result in a longer drive. Make sure you do this in a controlled manner. Keep your foot anchored to prevent slicing the ball. Slicing the ball is when the golf ball curves dramatically from the left to the ball after a shot. Do this to achieve a longer drive. A common failure amongst golfers is bringing the driver too far back during the backswing. This causes a loss in control of the club. A powerful, more controlled swing can achieved by controlling your wrists and rotating your body into the shot, thus resulting in a more distance. Your hands should be level with your shoulders when you bring the club back.

Anchor your foot. Touch your elbow to your hip. Relax your muscles. Rotate your hips vigorously. Use a short controlled backswing.
Article: Studies have been mixed on the effectiveness of duct tape as a removal treatment for warts. Many physicians believe the duct tape treatment to be no better than a placebo and not a very effective way to remove warts. However, there has been some documented success with the use of duct tape on warts.  You can try the duct tape method by covering the wart in duct tape or electrical tape for six days. After six days, you can soak the wart in water and then gently remove any dead skin on or around the wart with a pumice stone or an emery board. You will need to then let the wart be exposed to the open air for 12 hours and repeat the process again until the wart is removed. This home remedy claims that the caustic effect of garlic can make the warts blister and fall off. Keep in mind this is not a medically verified treatment and may not work as effectively as medical treatments for warts.  Crush one to two cloves of garlic in a mortar and pestle until it forms a paste. Apply the garlic to the warts and cover them with bandages so the garlic can interact with the warts. Re apply fresh garlic to the warts once a day but avoid putting the garlic on any of the healthy skin surrounding the warts. You can smear the healthy skin with petroleum jelly so the garlic does not stick to the skin. Apple cider vinegar will not kill the HPV that is causing the warts but it has a high acidity content that can help the skin on the wart to peel off and fall away. You may experience some soreness and swelling on the warts once you apply the apple cider vinegar, but this should fade after a few days. Keep in mind this is not a medically proven removal method for warts.  Soak one to two cotton balls in two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar. Squeeze out any excess vinegar from the cotton balls but make sure they are thoroughly soaked. Apply the cotton balls to your warts and secure each cotton ball with gauze or medical tape. Leave the apple cider vinegar on the warts overnight. Repeat this every night with fresh cotton balls for one to two weeks. After several days, the warts may appear darker or black, which is a good sign the apple cider vinegar is working. They will eventually fall off on their own. Fresh basil contains several anti-viral components and can help to speed up the removal process of the warts. Be aware this is not a medically proven method for wart removal and should be used at your own discretion.  Use clean hands or a mortar and pestle to crush 1/4 cup of fresh basil leaves until they appear mushy and wet. Gently apply the crushed basil to your warts and cover the warts with a clean bandage or a clean cloth. Re apply the basil for one to two weeks until the warts fall off.
