The pot size will limit how large your plumeria can grow. Your pot will also need drainage holes on the bottom so that water doesn't pool on the bottom and rot your cutting. Even if you plan on transplanting the plumeria outdoors, you should start the cutting in a pot indoors. Each plumeria cutting will need a separate pot. Look for a potting soil that is labeled as fast-draining online or at a gardening store. Thoroughly mix the perlite and potting soil together so that they are well incorporated. Fill the pot 1 inch (2.5cm) from the brim to give the cutting enough medium to grow in and to prevent overflow when you water. Fast-draining potting mix will prevent mold and fungus from forming on your cutting. The water that you put in the pot should drain out of its drainage holes on the bottom. If the water doesn't drain, you'll need to use a lighter, more porous potting mixture. If you want, you can add 1 part vermiculite to the potting mixture to aid with drainage. While not necessary, root growth hormone will help initial roots grow from your cutting. You can purchase powdered rooting hormone online or at a gardening store. Dip the cut end of the cutting into a cup of water first, then dip it into the root growth hormone powder so that 12 inches (2.55.1cm) of the cutting is covered in the powder. Dipping the cutting in water first will help the growth powder stick to your cutting. Push the cut end of the cutting into the soil in the center of the pot. Add more potting mix to the top of the soil to help hold the cutting in place. Pack the soil down around the cutting to make sure that it doesn't move or shift as the roots grow. Pushing the cutting 34 inches (7.610.2cm) into the soil will give the roots enough room to grow. to support large cuttings. If your cutting is too large and falling over, you can use a stake to keep it straight in the pot. Plant a stake deep into the soil in the pot. Then, attach the stake to the cutting with wire or string. This will help hold the cutting in place as the roots form. It typically takes a plumeria 4-8 weeks to take root. Place the pot on a seedling mat to increase soil temperature and encourage the roots to grow. You'll know that it's growing when you start to see new buds grow on the top of the cutting. Plumeria should be kept in temperatures above 60F (16C).

One-sentence summary -- Purchase a 1 gallon (3.8l) or larger pot for each cutting. Fill a pot with 2 parts perlite and 1 part fast-draining potting soil. Pour water on the soil to dampen it. Dip the tip of the cutting into root growth hormone, if desired. Push the cutting 34 inches (7.610.2cm) into the soil in the pot. Add stakes Put the plumeria in a warm place and wait for it to take root.

Lie down on a fitness mat. Lie with your back flat on the ground, legs together and knees bent. Keep in mind that this movement is not recommended for anyone who has ever had a back problem. This movement can be made easier by placing your hands and arms lower on your body (crossing arms in front of your chest) or harder, by placing your hands and arms past your head (arms extended above your head). With your knees remaining bent, turn at your waist and bring both of your legs to one side of your body, down to the floor. Your legs should be lying on top of each other. As you bring your legs down to the floor, keep your shoulder blades and the upper part of your back flat on the floor. Place your hands behind or at the sides of your head. Flex your abdominal muscles, and lift your shoulders off the floor. Be sure to keep your shoulders straight and level just as you would for a normal crunch. Hold the position for a moment, then release your constricted abdominal muscles to slowly bring your shoulders back down to the mat. Do not pull at your head and neck to complete the crunch. Your hands are merely resting near your head as you contract your abdominal muscles to lift yourself up and crunch. Once you have completed one set of crunches on one side of your body (about 1015 reps), turn your legs over to do the crunches on other side of your body. It's recommended to do this exercise 13 sets on each side, 23 times a week.

To lose weight and get the most effective workout, it's important to include cardio or aerobic exercises. These types of exercises use large muscle groups to increase your heart rate and breathing pace. It should be sustained for at least 10 minutes at a time at a minimum. Most fitness DVDs will incorporate some aerobic activity since this is one of the best ways to induce weight loss with exercise. Common forms of aerobic exercise found in fitness DVDs include: dancing, interval training, running or walking in place, and calisthenics. They also might incorporate isometric exercise, which strengthens specific muscles or shape the figure by pitting one muscle or part of the body against another or against an immovable object in a strong but motionless action, as by pressing the fist of one hand against the palm of the other or against a desk. Make sure to do about 150 minutes or 2 1/2 hours of cardio each week. To help induce weight loss, you may need to increase the intensity or the amount of cardio exercises you're doing each week. Resistance training is a type of exercise that helps build and maintain lean muscle mass. Incorporating regular strength training is another important component of weight loss and physical activity. Exercise DVDs use a variety of equipment for strength training exercises, such as dumbbells, kettlebells, and resistance bands or tubes. You might also do body weight exercises (as used often in Pilates) and isometrics (as used in yoga). Weight training has shown to help increase muscle mass and metabolism which can aid in weight loss. It's recommended to include resistance training on at least 2 days per week. Note that many DVDs offer a combination of aerobic and strength training exercises in one program that could help cut down on overall exercise time. This may be a smart option for those with little time or very busy schedules. Stretching and flexibility is an important part of your fitness routine. Studies have shown that stretching may help prevent injury. Try to include stretching after each workout session. Many DVD programs automatically include this at the end of each workout or routine. Yoga is a great practice to help stretch, relax and restore your body after a week of exercise. Some DVDs may have a stretching routine included. However, you may want to consider purchasing a separate DVD for stretching and recovery routines. In addition to incorporating the recommended amounts of activity each week, it's equally important to include adequate rest and recovery days. Studies have shown that allowing your body to rest and recover may help prevent injury. Rest days can also be active. Light walking is something that's appropriate to include on active rest days.
