If you're confident finding frets and strings quickly, you can move past this step and onto reading tabs. However, it never hurts to review some guitar basics:   Fretting: The small metal strips on the guitar neck. If you're right-handed, then the first fret is the one farthest to the left. To play a fret, you push the string down just to the left of fret (right-handed). So, to play the 3rd fret you'd play just to the left of the third metal strip, so your finger is between the second and third frets.  Strings: The six strings are ordered, starting from the thinnest string on the bottom, as eBGDAE. The thinnest string is the 1st string, the thickest string (on top) is the sixth string.

Q: Your gym will likely have machines devoted to building hip strength. Hip abductor machines provide resistance as you work muscles pivotal to healthy hips. Sit so that your feet are on the foot rests and knee pads are outside of your legs. Use your strength to push the pads from a closed to an open position, away from your body. Bring the weight slowly back to a stop. Do this in sets of ten at a manageable weight. Be sure to emphasize good form. Weights too high or too many reps can lead to injury. Gyms may have machines that slightly vary. If you have any questions about how to use a hip abductor machine, ask a gym employee for help. Jogging is great for overall health but can cause wear and tear to your joints, especially knees, hips, and ankles. Use cardio machines at the gym to get the same benefits of cardio, without all the problems.  Use an elliptical machine. This is a low impact exercise that will increase the range of motion in your hips. Simply follow the instructions and start striding at a comfortable resistance level. This will promote the same range of motion as jogging without the impact of hitting the ground. Stationary bikes are among the best exercise options for hip problems. They're great for increasing your range of motion, keeping joints mobile, and building up strength as you progress to longer, more difficult workouts. Tread climbers work much like walking. You will have to stretch your hips to maintain a natural walking stride. Similarly, a stair climber will stretch and strengthen your hips muscles. The incline of the stair climber will force you to stretch and stabilize your muscles. Both of these should be done with caution and after consultation with your doctor or physical therapist. Cardio and machines are great but there are few strength training equivalents to free weights. Weight training can be a little more difficult than other strengthening exercises, but if done properly and safely yields great results.  Use bench step up exercises to build strength. Find a dumbbell weight that you are comfortable with. Hold a dumbbell in each hand down to your side. Stand in front of a bench lengthwise. Step up with your right foot, holding your left leg to the side. Hold for three seconds then repeat with the other foot. Bent knee deadlifts get the benefits of the Olympic dead lift without the same strain. Again, find a light dumbbell and hold one in each hand. Stand with your feet shoulder length apart, holding each dumbbell with your palms facing in. Keeping your head up, shoulders back and knees slightly bent, bend forward slightly, lowering the dumbbells along your legs. Keep your body weight above your heels and slowly return to a starting position. Use dumbbell lunges to stretch your hips. Keep a dumbbell in each hand and stand upright. Step forward with your right foot, keeping your left leg stationary behind. Lower your upper body down while maintaining your balance. Using the heel of your forward foot, return to your starting position.
A: Use a hip abductor machine. Skip hard cardio in favor of controlled movements on machines. Weight train your way to stronger hips.

Article: Everyone has weekly chores that need to get done, such as grocery shopping, laundry, and sometimes even meal prep. Depending on your schedule, you might invite people to join you as you check off your errands list.  If no one goes with you, your errands are a great opportunity to meet new people! For example, you could invite people to meet you at the Farmers Market to purchase your weekly groceries. It's a fun way to spend time with people but still check off your weekly chores. If you do your laundry at a laundromat, you could invite a friend alone to chat and play cards while the washer and dryer are going. If your schedule permits, you should invite someone to join you to the park, museum, ball game, or other activity. One of the keys for inviting someone to hang out with you is to have a plan in mind. If you are indecisive and can’t choose an activity to do, the plans could become awkward. Volunteers at charity events or other places tend to be people persons themselves. This is a good venue for honing in your social skills. Don’t be afraid and get yourself out there. Volunteering is also a great way to give back to your community and assist the less fortunate. It is very common today for people of all ages to listen to headphones out in public. While it might be fun to jam out on your commute to work, you lose an opportunity to engage with people around you. Listen to your favorite track with dinner, you need be approachable in order to be a better people person.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Meet up with people to take care of errands. Make plans for weekends and evenings. Volunteer your time. Take off your headphones.

Article: If your ham turns out to be overly salty, you can diminish some of the saltiness by serving it with dairy products like cheese, sour cream, or cottage cheese. The dairy products will help counteract the salty flavor of the ham.  Try chopping up the ham and cooking adding it to scalloped potatoes. Add salty ham to an omelet with cheddar and vegetables for a quick breakfast or lunch. Acid can help mask the salty flavor of ham. If your ham is too salty, consider drizzling a little lemon on it to help mask the ham’s saltiness. Make sure you only use a tiny amount and no more than a tablespoon for the entire ham. Rub the lemon juice on the outside of the ham and let it sit for about 15 minutes before serving.  You can also try white vinegar to help mask the saltiness. Taste the ham after fifteen minutes. If it is still too salty, allow the vinegar or lemon juice to soak in for another ten to fifteen minutes. If you are dealing with leftover ham that is too salty, you can still make use of it by using less. For example, if you are adding the ham to a soup or stew, use two-thirds of the amount called for in the recipe. This can help cut back on the salty flavor while still allowing you to make the most of your leftovers.
