Article: If you are new to working out, don't plan for a two-hour marathon session each day. Not only will you get burnt out, but you're likely to hurt yourself as well. You could begin with 30-minute sessions every other day until you build up your stamina. Not only do you want to take a short break between sets, but you should also rest between workouts. Your muscles need time to rest, and you actually build muscle during those breaks. Aim for 24-48 hours of rest between workouts. Most exercises are a single movement that you do multiple times. Different numbers of repetitions (reps) give you different results. Build endurance and tone by doing 12 or more reps with 2-3 or more sets using light weight, build muscle size and strength by doing 8-12 reps in sets of 3-4 with moderate to heavy weight, and build muscle strength by doing 5-8 reps or 5-6 sets with super heavy weight. Do 2-3 sets of 10-15 reps with light weight to start out. This builds muscle memory in the correct movement pattern and strengthens your tendons and ligaments without putting too much strain on them. Don't feel as though you have to stick with a routine you hate. If the time you've set aside for working out, or the exercises you've chosen, aren't working out then reevaluate. Make decisions based on what is best for you and your schedule.

Article: The index-up grip is similar to that for a basic curveball, with the exception that your index finger remains relaxed and pointed up. This grip is good for beginners because your will use your index finger to help guide the ball towards its target. Use this pitch to practice your curveball technique, but avoid using it in games. Experienced batters are likely to see the raised index finger and adjust their stance in anticipation of a curveball. Bend your middle finger, leaving your index finger pointing upwards. Like in the standard curveball grip, let the bottom of the ball rest against the side of your ring finer. Place your thumb on the back of the ball so it lies along the bottom seam. Position your middle finger along the top seam opposite your thumb. At this point, your thumb and middle finger should form a "C" while your index finger is pointed up. Make sure your index finger is up and relaxed, and the ball is firmly gripped by your thumb (bottom) and middle finger (top). While your grip should be firm, relax the muscles in your wrist and forearm. When throwing, your thumb rotates up while your middle finger rotates down. Use your index finger to control the trajectory of the ball - the ball will go in the direction in which your index finger is pointing. Your index finger is not needed to throw the pitch, with the thumb and middle finger providing all the spin. When throwing, your elbow should be at the same height or above your shoulder. Your hand and wrist should form a vertical line with your forearm. Keep your forearm and wrist muscles loose until just prior to release. Strongly contract them and quickly snap your wrist forward and inwards, allowing the ball to spin out over the middle finger.

Use a modified 4-seam grip. Hold up your middle and index fingers. Position your middle finger and thumb. Prepare to throw the ball. Throw by snapping your thumb and middle fingers together.

The UEFI is the interface that controls your computer, and is the modern version of a BIOS. Windows 7 doesn't support UEFI, so you'll need to set your UEFI settings to support the older BIOS method. The process is a different depending on your computer, but generally you can do this: Press the Win+C or swipe in from the right side of the screen to open the Charms bar. Select "Settings" and then "Change PC Settings." Click "Update and recovery," then select "Recovery." Click "Restart Now" underneath the "Advanced Startup" header. Select "Troubleshoot" when your computer reboots, then "Advanced options." Click "UEFI Firmware Settings" and then click "Restart." Find the "Legacy boot" or "BIOS mode" in the UEFI settings and enable it. Its location will vary by manufacturer. You'll see the traditional BIOS startup screen after rebooting, since you enabled it in the UEFI settings. The process for this will vary depending on your computer. Many computers will display a "BOOT" key during startup that will allow you to select a drive to boot from. If you don't see this, you'll need to press the BIOS or SETUP key. This will open your BIOS/UEFI menu. From here you can select the "Boot" menu and then choose your installation disc or drive. Press a key on your keyboard when prompted to begin the Windows 7 installation process. It will take a little while to load the initial setup. Choose your language and region settings in the first few Windows that appear. During the installation process, you'll be prompted to select a drive to install Windows 7 on. Choose the drive that currently has Windows 8 installed on it. Remember, this will delete everything that is currently stored on the drive. Towards the end of the installation process, you'll be prompted to enter your Windows 7 product key. Enter the key you obtained in the first section. If you have downgrade rights, this key does not have to be an unused key. After entering the key, Windows 7 will finish installing and you'll eventually be taken to the desktop. If you are using your downgrade rights, there's a good chance that you'll receive an "Activation Failed" message after Windows loads.

Enable the legacy boot function in the UEFI settings menu. Insert the Windows 7 installation disc or USB drive and reboot. Boot from the disc or drive. Start the Windows 7 installation process. Proceed through the Windows 7 installation. Select the drive that has Windows 8 installed when prompted. Enter the Windows 7 Professional key you found when prompted. Complete the installation and load the desktop.
