Problem: Article: Place your feet slightly more than hip-width apart. Wrap your fingers behind your head with your elbows sticking out to either side. Sink into a squat until your legs form a roughly 90- degree angle. Keep your upper body as vertical as possible and your chin up so that you are looking forward, not down. From here:  Use the balls of your feet to push yourself up and forward into a jump.  Don’t worry about jumping high. Simply aim to land a few feet in front of your starting position. As you land on the balls of your feet, absorb the shock with your legs by sinking back into another squat. Jump again and repeat for a total of five to ten reps per set. ” Use an actual jump box that is specifically designed for jumping exercises (which many gyms provide), or use any raised surface that will support your weight, like a sturdy, steady bench or bleachers. Stand within jumping distance with both feet planted hip-width apart, facing the box. From this starting position:  Jump off the ground with both feet, using the balls of your feet to push yourself off the ground.  Land on the box with both feet, distributing your weight evenly across them to stay balanced. Starting small so you have as much control over your last jump as your first, work your way up until you can complete three sets of 20 jumps per workout. As you master the height of one box or surface, challenge yourself by working with another that is even higher. Use two dumbbells weighing between 10 and 25 lbs (4.5 to 11.3 kg). Hold one in each hand, down along your sides. Set your feet directly below your shoulders and straighten your back. From here:  Jump directly upward, not forward. Shrug your shoulders upward as you ascend. Relax your shoulders as you descend. Land in your starting position with both feet at the same time. Increase your sets and/or reps until you can do three sets of 25.
Summary: Do frog jumps. Use a “jump box. Do jump shrugs.

Problem: Article: Several schools, programming companies or other sources have created websites that will very easily calculate covariance values for you. Using any search engine, enter the search term “covariance calculator.” Read the instructions on the website carefully to make sure that you enter your data properly. It is important that your data pairs are kept in order, or you will generate an incorrect covariance result. Different websites have different styles for entering your data.  For example, at the website http://ncalculators.com/statistics/covariance-calculator.htm, there is a horizontal box for entering x-values and a second horizontal box for entering y-values. You are instructed to enter your terms, separated only by commas. Thus, the x-data set that was calculated earlier in this article would be entered as 1,3,2,5,8,7,12,2,4. The y-data set would be 8,6,9,4,3,3,2,7,7. At another site, https://www.thecalculator.co/math/Covariance-Calculator-705.html, you are prompted to enter your x-data in the first box. Data is entered vertically, with one item per line. Therefore, the entry on this site would look like: 1 3 2 5 8 7 12 2 4 The attraction of these calculation sites is that after you enter your data, you generally need only to click on the button that says “Calculate,” and the results will appear automatically. Most sites will provide you with the intermediate calculations of the x(avg), y(avg), and n.
Summary: Search the Internet for covariance calculators. Enter your data. Calculate your results.

Problem: Article: It is not worth jeopardizing your health with a crash diet. For most people, a healthy amount of weight to lose is 1 to 2 pounds per week. BMR stands for basal metabolic rate, is the amount of calories consumed while you're at rest, not doing anything. The Mayo Clinic and many other health-related websites have calorie calculators that determine how many calories you should eat per day to maintain your current weight. Enter variables such as weight, height, age, gender and frequency of exercise, and the calculator determines the right number of daily calories for you. Here's how you calculate your BMR. It's different for men and women:  For women: 655 + (4.3 x Weight in pounds) + (4.2 x Height in inches) - (4.7 x Age in years)  For men: 66 + (6.3 x Weight in pounds) + (12.9 x Height in inches) - (5.8 x Age in years)  You'll come up with a number. What does this number mean? This is a number of calories that you'd burn if you stayed in bed all day and did absolutely nothing. Do this to see how many calories you can consume during a day to maintain your weight. Take your BMR, multiply it by the appropriate number below, and add that to your BMR to see how many calories you can eat during the day to stay the same weight. This is called your suggested daily calorie intake.  For no activity, multiply your BMR by 20% (this means BMR x .20, not 20!) For little or light activity, multiply your BMR by 30% For moderate activity, multiply your BMR by 40% For strong activity, multiply your BMR by 50% For intense activity, multiply your BMR by 60% Any calories you consume above your suggested daily calorie intake will cause you to gain weight, while consuming fewer calories than your suggested daily calorie intake will cause you to lose weight. A pound is measured by 3,500 calories. So if you consume 3,500 more calories than you burn during a day, you'll gain a pound; if you burn 3,500 more calories than you consume during a day, you'll lose a pound. For example, say that your BMR is 1,790. Let's also say that you're moderately active, meaning you exercise three times a week. 1,790 x .40 = 716. Add 716 to 1,790 to get 2,506. That's what you need to stay under in order to lose weight. Any calories consumed above 2,506 means you're gaining weight. a day to lose 1 pound per week. One pound equals 3,500 calories, so cutting 500 calories a day will add up to a pound a week. Having a target goal for daily calories makes it easier to decide what to eat. If your suggested daily calorie intake is about 2,500, then shoot for 2,000. This will help you along with your goal of losing one pound every week.
Summary: Seek approval from a health care professional before starting a weight-loss or exercise plan. Use free online BMR calculators to take the mystery out of weight loss. If you don't want to use online BMR converters, do the math yourself. Factor in your level of daily exercise to your BMR. Understand how weight loss and weight gain work. Cut 500 calories

Problem: Article: Even if your period of self-harming is behind you, seeking help can make the recovery and coping process much easier. Speak to your doctor about your options (which may include counselling or cognitive behavioural therapy), and consider whether there might be contributing factors that caused your self-harming behaviour in the first place, like an eating disorder or sexual abuse. Coming to terms with the behaviour and understanding it may change the way you view your scars, and how you wish to cover them. As part of your recovery process, you may wish to hide your self-harm scars with thick, camouflaging makeup. Choose a green-based concealer, which will cover the red undertones of your scars effectively. Dab the makeup over the scar until you are happy with the coverage, then pat the surface of your skin with a powder foundation. For best results, choose a concealer that closely matches your skin tone and avoid any that have brightening properties, which will draw attention to your scars. Book a consultation with a reputable tattoo artist to discuss the possibility of tattooing over a scar (or scars) left behind from your self-harming period. Bring a design to the consultation, or have a clear idea of what you want to have as a tattoo before meeting with them. Be sure that you are ready for the commitment of having a tattoo, taking into consideration how you might feel about it in the future.
Summary:
Seek help to deal with your self-harming issue. Use camouflage makeup. Get a tattoo.
