In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Although you may see some people walking with regular ski poles, it is important to purchase poles specific to Nordic walking. These poles will have many necessary accessories, such as proper hand straps and different attachments to the bottom of the poles depending on your terrain.  These poles cost as little as $70 for an entry-level set. Purchasing a proper set of Nordic walking poles will give you more freedom and comfort as your exercise regimen becomes more intense and as you begin changing your walking terrain. The most important thing about pole fitting is that your new poles touch the ground while your elbows are at 90 degrees and feel comfortable as you walk. Some poles are adjustable and some are not, so consider this while making your purchase.  If your poles are not adjustable, be sure choose properly fitted poles before you leave the store. If your poles are adjustable, be sure they fit this requirement before you leave the store. Wrist straps allow for a release of the pole on your backstroke without dropping the pole, and cause the pole to return to your hand in the right position as you bring your arm back into place. Many professionals believe it is important to be able to let go of the pole after you push, which is only possible through means of a wrist strap. Although wrist straps are not vital to Nordic walking, they are recommended and should be taken into consideration while purchasing poles. Although many people do Nordic walking on pavement, you may also take advantage of other terrains. Nordic walking can be done while hiking in the mountains or on other dirt trails, working as an alternative to walking sticks.  If you are walking on pavement, use the attachable rubber pads that cover the bottom of the pole. These rubber pads should come with your Nordic walking pole, so double check that they are included before you purchase. If you are walking on dirt, utilize the metal spike at the end of your Nordic Walking poles. Depending on how far you plan to walk and what terrain you plan to walk on, quality walking shoes are very important. If you plan on changing the terrain that you usually walk on, consider purchasing new, more appropriate shoes.
Summary: Purchase a set of Nordic walking poles. Purchase poles that fit your height and walking stride. Purchase poles with comfortable wrist straps. Decide if you would like to stick to walking on pavement or walk on hiking trails. Wear regular walking shoes on pavement and hiking shoes on trails.

Monitoring your progress is important when you're losing weight.  Stepping on the scale regularly can help you see how effective your diet program is going and whether or not you need to make any changes.  Remember, safe weight loss is about one to two pounds per week.  Be patient with your progress.  You're more likely to sustain slow and steady weight loss in the long-term.  For the most accurate pattern of results, it's best to weigh yourself at the same time of day, on the same day of the week and in the same clothes (or choose to go without clothes). If your weight loss has plateaued or you've begun to gain weight, recheck your meal plans and food journals and see if you can cut out any more calories to help weight loss. Having friends, family members or co-workers supporting you through your weight loss plan may help you continue to lose weight and maintain it long-term.  Build a support group to help you stay on track.  See if others you know also want to lose weight.  Many times people find it easier to tackle weight loss together as a group. You can also try finding online support groups or support groups that meet in person on a weekly or monthly basis. Get support by working with a registered dietitian; he/she can customize your meal plan and provide on-going support. Having a motivating and enticing reward at the end of your weight loss goals can help push you through to the end.  Set up something exciting for yourself as you meet your goals.  Ideas to try include:  Buying yourself new shoes or clothes. Treating yourself to a round of golf or other favorite sport. Getting a massage or other spa treatment. Avoid food-related rewards, as these can trigger old habits that might not be conducive to weight loss.

One-sentence summary -- Weigh yourself once or twice a week. Find a support group. Reward yourself.

Problem: Article: If you have missed out on the TM, you're going to have to find, capture, and train a Pokémon that naturally learns the ability Dig in order to get it. In Pokémon Emerald, there are only two naturally appearing Pokémon in the game that learn Dig: Nincada and Trapinch. Some Pokémon can be found through the in-game world, others are only located in certain areas. Both Nincada and Trapinch, however, can be found in the region of Hoenn. To find these Pokémon you'll need to:  Go to Route 116 to find Nincada. This route is in western Hoenn; it connects to Rustboro City and Rusturf Tunnel. Walk in this area until you randomly encounter Nincada.  Travel to Route 111 or Mirage Tower to find Trapinch. Route 111 can be found in the main region of Hoenn. It connects Mauville City to Route 112. The Mirage Tower will appear at random in the desert along Route 111. Walk in this area until you randomly encounter Trapinch. . Pokémon have certain weaknesses and strengths. You might use these to your advantage when capturing Nincada and Trapinch. However, you should be careful not to do too much damage; doing so will result in the Pokémon fainting and you having to find a new one to capture.  Nincada is a small bug-type Pokémon with a decent defense power. It is weak against flying, fire, water, and ice type attacks. It is strong against fighting, poison, and ground type attacks. Trapinch is also a ground-type Pokémon with decent attack power. It is weak against water, grass, and ice type attacks. It is strong against poison and rock attacks.  Once Nincada or Trapinch is weakened by your attacks and has low HP, you'll have to throw a Pokeball to capture it. Be sure you have enough of your best Pokeballs in your inventory before leaving to capture one. If you find that your Pokémon are too strong and do too much damage to either of these wild Pokemon, you might want to use attacks Trapinch and Nincada are strong against. This will do reduced damage. This way, you can do small amounts of damage until the Pokémon is weakened enough for you to catch it. . You'll have to train Nincada to level 45 before it will learn the ability Dig, and Trapinch doesn't learn the skill until level 41. This means you'll have to fight other non-player trainers, fight randomly encounter Pokemon, use items (like Rare Candy) to raise its level, or take your Pokémon to the Daycare Center where it'll be trained for you.
Summary:
Identify Pokémon in the game that learn Dig. Find the best areas to hunt these Pokemon. Capture the Pokemon Train your Pokemon
