Like people, cats sometimes need an extended break from each other. Keep the cats separate for several days or weeks.  Make sure you provide them with the necessary things to keep them comfortable like their bed, food bowl and litter boxes. Have the cats switch rooms every day so they have the opportunity to smell the other’s scent. Use your cats’ feeding time as a way of getting them in close proximity to each other.  While the two cats are separated, place their food bowls on opposite sides of the closed door.  Determine how far away from the door to place the bowls based on how responsive the cats are to continuing to eat in close proximity to each other.  Continue to move their food bowls closer to the door as the separation period progresses. This way, they will associate being in close proximity to each other with enjoyable activities. If possible, have one person on each side of the door to praise the two cat as it eats.  This is done as a way of using food to reward the cats for being so close to the scent of another cat.  In addition, you are rewarding the cat with praise for eating near another cat. Once several days have passed, crack the door open about one inch to see how they both respond.  If the response is calm, open the door a little more, continuing this process until they are back in each other’s presence.  However, if they react by showing aggressive, return them back to separation and repeat the reestablishing friendship routine over again. You might find that rubbing a little tuna juice on the cats’ body and head helpful, as this will likely cause them to become distracted with grooming themselves, which will lessen their focus on each other.

Summary: Keep them separate. Reestablish limited proximity. Make the full acquaintance once again.


If you consistently respond with your true feelings, you will teach others how to treat you correctly. Over time people will learn and adapt to your behavior and will put you in less high-pressure situations.   Others may not even realize they are walking all over you if you don’t express yourself. Manipulative people will seek you out if they need something because they know you will not confront them. Once they learn you will not be used, they will stop. Your responses do not have to be dramatic. Simply respond in the same way you would like someone to respond to you if they deny helping you. If you agree to do what your user asks of you, lay out your limitations right away. This way you will not be burdened and your user will be satisfied. Both parties win.  This could be something like, if your peer needs help with their homework, give a time limit. If your co-worker asks you for help on a project, take the smallest task because you have your own work you need to do. Whenever someone asks you for something you are uncomfortable with, it’s totally acceptable to say that you'll need to think about it. This gives you time to consider if you actually want to help. If the person needs an immediate answer, say "No". You can always go back and say "Yes" if you realized you're okay with helping out. But if you immediately say "Yes" you are automatically committing to the situation. "No" can be a scary word because it is confrontational, but "No" can make you feel powerful. It shows others that you and your time is valuable. Using "No" doesn’t have to be aggressive, because it’s just honesty. You’re not being offensive, you’re just articulating that you have other things you need to take care of.

Summary: Teach others how to treat you. Set a limit. Stall. Learn to say "No".


Cardio has a number of very specific health benefits, in addition to being an excellent way of burning fat and losing weight. It improves respiration, strengthens the heart muscle, reduces stress as well as the incidence of depression. Here are some cardio exercises that you can try to lose weight quickly:  Swimming Running Cycling Boxing Walking Team sports are great at motivating people to go the extra mile when it comes to working out. Much of the time, people lose themselves completely in the competitive aspect of sports, burning plenty of calories over several hours. Try joining a local intramural team, or make your own league playing with friends or co-workers. Here are some popular sports that are also great at burning calories.   Basketball. Running up and down the court is said to help burn between 812 and 946 calories per hour.  Soccer. Notorious for its grueling pace and non-stop running, playing soccer can help you burn between 740 and 860 calories per hour.  Ice hockey. A downright physical sport, hockey is expected to help you burn approximately 500 calories per hour.  Play football or flag football. Although it's difficult to say exactly how many calories you can burn playing football, a general estimate is that football players weighing 200 pounds burn upwards of 900 calories, while flag football players weighing 200 pounds burn upwards of 700 calories. Test your own determination and enduring by competing in an individual sport. Individual sports are, in many ways, a test of how far you're willing to go in order to achieve your goal. They're tests in which you often put your body on the line, but come away with something very tangible to show for it: Glory, or in our case, gutted calories.  Try rock climbing. Although it doesn't sound as intense a workout as basketball or soccer, rock climbing is indeed a calorie buster. Expect to burn between 810 and 940 calories for each hour of intense rock climbing. Try skiing or snowboarding. Even though it's hard to ski or snowboard the year round, there's a lot of diversity here: You can ski slalom, downhill, cross-country, or board through powder. Expect to burn anywhere from 640 to 980 calories per hour.  Pick up tennis. Tennis can be a grueling sport. Necessitating short bursts of speed and great hand-eye coordination, tennis can help individuals burn about 400 calories every hour. As alluded to earlier in the article, a half- or full marathon is a great way to lose pounds. Yes, it is grueling. It is punishing to your body. And at the end of the day, it's more a test of the will than it is of the body. But if you complete a marathon, prepare to be incredibly uplifted and feel like the sky is the limit. Of course, one of the big sells about marathons, calorie-wise, is that you have to train for any half-marathon or marathon. You can't just expect to push your body to the limit without any training. Training requires long hours of running, burning countless calories. As you ramp up training, expect to see more drastic results. When combined with effective dieting and targeted aerobic exercises, strength training can significantly help you drop the pounds, which is why many fitness experts incorporate it into their training regimen. Not only will you burn fat if you begin strength training, but you'll also replace that fat with lean, sexy muscle. Additionally, strength training will reportedly help you continue to burn muscle even after you've finished working out. When strength training, remember to choose exercises that target a large muscle group. These exercises include, but are not limited to:  Squats Lunges Kettlebell swings Squat thrusts Burpees Inverted rows Pull ups Push ups

Summary: Try aerobic, otherwise known as cardio, exercises. Try team sports. Try individual sports. If you're up for it, run a half-marathon or a full marathon. Incorporate strength training into your workout.
