Select a fresh, ripe fruit. Choose a fruit that’s slightly (and evenly) soft, but not mushy. Avoid juicing a fruit that feels hard.  The harder the fruit, the more difficult it will be to juice. The heavier the fruit feels, the juicier it will be!  The best citrus fruit has a rind free of blemishes, and a bold, sweet scent. Leave it sitting at room temperature until it is no longer cold to the touch. Warm the fruit in the microwave, on high, for twenty to thirty seconds, if desired. Allow it to cool for one minute.  Warm fruit is easier to juice. Warming the fruit is especially useful if it was refrigerated. Hold the fruit against a countertop or other surface. Apply gentle pressure. Roll the fruit back and forth. Rolling the fruit loosens its inner segments, to prepare the fruit for juicing. Make the cut a bit off-center. Cut the fruit lengthwise if it will fit that way into your squeezer. If not, cut the fruit crosswise, then slice off pointy tip of the rind (if applicable).  You can get more juice out of fruits like lemons and limes by cutting them lengthwise instead of crosswise. Cutting off the rind tip will give you more leverage for using a manual squeezer.

summary: Feel the firmness of the fruit. Ensure the fruit is at least room temperature. Roll the fruit with your hands. Cut the fruit with a large chef’s knife.

Most beginners try to go too long or too hard; this is a mistake. You end up getting too sore (some soreness is normal at the beginning of any new activity) or worse, injured. If you’re out of shape, and especially if you are overweight (20-plus pounds or more), start by walking 20-30 minutes, a few times a week. After a few weeks of this, start increasing your walking intervals — quick walking for a minute or two, then slowly walking for a minute, and repeat. If you feel you’re ready for running, or have done the above walking routine for at least a month and are ready to incorporate running, start with run-walking. That’s warming up with walking for 5-10 minutes, then jogging for a minute or so, alternating with walking rest periods. If you think you can run without the walking, do it for short periods at first — 10 minutes, then 12, then 15, and so on. Add some time every 2-3 runs, but don’t be too quick to add the distance. And don’t add faster paced running in yet. Remember that the key principle is this: your body will adapt if you give it time. Start slowly, let your body adapt to that, then gradually gradually add time. Later, when you’re used to running (after a couple of months), you can add intensity. Accept that you’ll be tempted to ignore this advice and be more ambitious. But don't ignore it; you’ll have a much better experience with running for following it. Better yet, if you take the time to build your stamina, you will pleased with your progress and be more likely to stick with it.
summary: Begin slowly. Increase your workout over time. Start jogging. Increase to running. Notice your increased stamina. Temper your determination.
