Open the cabinet beneath your kitchen sink. Place a tension rod horizontally inside the cabinet, then hang your cleaning detergents from it.  This only works for cleaning detergents that come in a spray bottle. The trigger will act like a hook. Hang the rod high enough so that you have room under the spray bottles for other items. Maximize your storage by adding a small pail, basket, or caddy. Place items like sponges or scrubbies inside. Stand 2 tension rods vertically between 2 shelves. The first rod should be 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1 cm) from the edge of the self. The second rod should be 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1 cm) from the back of the shelf. Repeat this process to create more slots, then slide cutting boards and baking sheets between the slots. How far apart you keep the tension rod pairs is up to you. You need them to be far enough to fit a cutting board or baking sheet. About 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10.2 cm) should be plenty. Open up a kitchen drawer that is deep enough to store your lids. Insert a few tension rods, about 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10.2 cm) apart to create slots. Slide your desired lids vertically into the slots, like files into a filing cabinet.  You can insert the rods across the width of the drawer or down its length. It's up to you. How far down the drawer you place the rods is up to you. About 1/3 to 1/2 way down is ideal. Use the front half of the drawer to store the lids, and the back half to store the matching pots, pans, or Tupperware containers. You can use this technique to store other items too, like rolls of aluminum foil or plastic wrap. Open up your cabinet and arrange your spice jars in a row along the back. Insert a tension rod just above jars, then stand more spice jars on top of it.  If the spice jars won't stand up on the tension rod, move the rod forward by about 1⁄4 to 1⁄2 inch (0.64 to 1.27 cm) to create a small gap. The jars will tilt back into this gap. You can create more "shelves" by adding more rows of tension rods. Slide a roll of paper towels onto the rod first, then place the rod horizontally under a cabinet. Expand the rod until each end is braced firmly against the adjacent walls. You can also use this to store kitchen towels above a sink.  Make sure that you hang it low enough so that you can unravel the paper towels without them scrapping against the bottom of the cabinet. If you are using this as a hand towel rod, you can hang other items from the rod too, like spray bottles and scrubbies.

Use tension rods in deep drawers to organize lids. Elevate spice jars with a tension rod to save space. Use a tension rod as a paper towel rack under a cabinet.


Studies show that people with strong abs are less susceptible to side aches than those who don't regularly work their core muscles.  Incorporate doing sit-ups or crunches into your regular workouts to develop strong abdominal muscles. Doing planks, by placing your elbows and toes on the floor, then lifting your body up (like the up-position when doing pushups) is another way to strengthen your core muscles. Sometimes a stitch in your side can be caused by having too much bounce when you run. This may be because your organs are straining their connective tissue as they bounce around inside of you, as well as affecting the connective tissue attached to your diaphragm. Next time you run, pay attention to your stride. Are you pushing yourself too high off the ground as you run, or is your stride too long, causing you to bounce? To minimize bounce, try the following:  Try hitting the ground with your heel instead of landing on the balls of your feet. Watch where your foot is in relation to your knee when it hits the ground. Is your foot farther out than your knee? Try to land your foot on the ground when it is positioned right under your knee. Shorten your stride. Count how many times your right foot hits the ground during a minute of running. If it is under 90, your stride may be too long. Visualize that you are running somewhere with a ceiling that is just a few inches above your head, and if you bounce too high you will hit your head. Talk to a personal trainer or running coach about how to work on your stride if you are struggling. People who run often are less likely to suffer side aches for various reasons.  Once you're accustomed to running, you may learn to adjust your pace and breathing patterns to better avoid developing a side ache. Frequent exercise will strengthen your core muscles that may alleviate side aches. Some foods are known to make a runner more prone to suffering side aches, but everyone is different so keep track of what you eat and how it affects you.  Fruit juices have been known to cause side aches in some people as they run.  If you experience unusually painful side aches or experience them frequently, look at what you ate that day and consider removing things from your diet.
