If there is already a crack in the nutshell, then your job will be much easier. First, squeeze the two half-shells to widen the crack until it won't get any bigger. Then, peel the pistachio open from the crack. Wedge your thumbnails into the crack and pull them apart in opposite directions. Use your forefingers to brace the nut so that you can apply more force to the shell. Try using an already-opened shell half to pry open a new pistachio. The shells are sturdy enough that you can use them to open one other. The pistachio is more difficult to open if the crack is very small, or if there is no crack at all. Place the pistachio on a clean, sturdy surface like a plate, a counter-top, or a cutting board. Then, gently tap the nut with a hammer or another heavy object until a crack forms in the shell. Finally, use your thumbnails to pull the shell all the way open. Use a nutcracker, if you have one. The nutcracker is a tool specifically designed to open up thick nutshells. Place the pistachio between the two arms of the nutcracker, then squeeze the two arms shut to crack the nut. You can buy the nuts already opened, if you like, which makes them somewhat easier to eat. However, be aware that pistachios sold in the shell are typically less expensive. They may also be more likely to be organic. Studies have shown that eating pistachios in the shell slows down the eating process and lowers overall consumption. Pistachio nuts contain three to four calories eachfewer than almost any another nutbut it can be easy to eat a lot of them when they come pre-shelled. Consider keeping pistachios a "slow" snack by de-shelling them yourself.

Q: Strength training is a key element in preparing your body to compete in a triathlon. It's also one of the most overlooked elements. For an endurance race like a triathlon, you need to build muscle strength as well as muscle endurance. Strength training is also important for preventing injuries. Work in 15-20 minutes of strength training at least 1-2 times per week. Increase this frequency by 10% every week as you work through your triathlon training schedule. Decrease your strength training every 3 weeks for a week to allow your body time to recover.

Circuit training is a series of short, intense exercises that work various muscle groups. This will help you build muscle endurance and muscle strength. To build muscle endurance, focus on doing higher repetitions with lighter weight or resistance. Do 5-10 repetitions of each of the following exercises at first, building to 20-30 reps as you get stronger: sit-ups, push-ups, squats, reverse lunge, side lunge, and plank hold. Do this circuit 10 times. To build muscle strength, try lifting free weights or machine weights. Perform 15 reps of the following: bench press, triceps dips, pull-ups, seated dumbbell shoulder press, seated dumbbell bicep curl, leg press, standing/lying hamstring curl, standing calf raise, and stability ball abdominal crunch. Try this circuit 2-6 times. You want to make sure you're performing at your maximum coordination when you're competing in your triathlon. This helps you move faster and more strongly. Try agility drills to increase your speed and movement, such as box jumps, side touches, and side high knees. Get an agility ladder to help you with these drills. An agility ladder is a flat rope ladder that is placed on the ground. You can also make one by drawing on the sidewalk with chalk or laying out string or rope on the ground.
A: Work in strength training into your training schedule. Get a physical assessment by a trainer. Try circuit training. Work on your agility.
